Happy Mother’s Day

my sister offered to come to houston to see my mom on mother’s day.
so why did my mom go out of town anyway?
because:
if she stayed in houston then she would feel required to see her own mother.
nevermind that her other daughter lives in houston. (me)
so if you’re keeping score at home-

kendall in room series continued…

FLASHBACK- #1

Open bar- and a 4 [...]
