[A Daft Scots Lass]: 55 Flash Fiction Friday

Join me in playing this writing game with hundreds of other bloggers including G-Man, Steveroni and Brian Miller called 55 Flash Fiction Fridays.

My mother gave me life

She also gave me love

She nurtured my soul

and moulded my essence

I owe a lot to her

For the person I am today

Mum shaped my character

Taught us right from wrong

Wish I was closer to you

To give a little back

And Be there for you.


FlogYoBlog Friday over at Random Ramblings of a SAHM. Go check it out!


Head on over to Boobies, Babies and a Blog I want to say Fuck You to the following: My squeeky double bed. I really need a new one and this time I'm buying a KING! Fuck you to the SARS and efiling support centre asswipes who can't reset my username and password so that I can do my tax returns. Fuck you to the shitbag customer who bought something from me and now refuses to pay or admit that she got the stuff. To the three chocolates I ate yesterday -Fuck you for tempting me and moving the evil calories to my Derriere. Last but not least the church who stole my original poem and using it in one of their services without my permission.

Brian Miller said...: a beautiful tribute...she is still doing well post surgery? dont know where i would be without my mum...; 6 August 2010 at 12:40
A Daft Scots Lass said...: Mum is doing great post surgery. She has to lie flat on her back for two weeks. No sitting! Only standing and lying down. She will then go back to have follow up x-rays to make sure everything is where its supposed to be.

She's already getting frustrated with being in bed and its only day 3 post surgery.

Poor mum...wish she was closer so I could at least pop in everyday for a natter and a cuppa.; 6 August 2010 at 13:19

steveroni said...: Wonderful gig to your Mum...Glad I'm not on the F/U list--or am I (glad!)?

Do not know why "steveroni" is on the "label" list??? Doesn't matter what I know or not know!

PEACE!
