Mommy Would you Love Me?
by Laurie Weaver
Link to the original version on ToonaCat.com

Carla colored in her great big book
And took it to Mommy for a look.

Mommy would you love me if I colored rainbows in the sky?
Oh Carla dear, I’d miss you if you went away so high.

Carla pulled her shoes on,
The new ones nice and white

And Mommy tied them up,
Not too loose, or tight.

Mommy would you love me if I marched a Zillion miles?

Carla Dear, if you marched ALL that way, how could I see your pretty smiles?

Carla dug the dirt, with her little hoe.
While Mommy planted flowers in a nice, neat, pretty row.

Mommy would you love me if I dug the biggest hole of all?
Oh Carla Dear, it would scare me silly to think that you might fall!

Carla splashed while Mommy Scrubbed, Giggling silly in the tub.

Mommy would you love me if I blew bubbles across the sea?

Oh Carla dear, how could I get your ears all squeaky clean if you were so far from me?

Carla snuggled onto Mommy’s lap, eye still sleepy from her nap.

Mommy, won’t you love me for ANYTHING I do?

No Carla Dear, my Dearest Dear,
I’ll only ever love you just because you’re you.

      Thanks Dear Josephine, it was a little bit hard to let myself release that show, but I feel that Mom would understand and hope it might help others build and appreciate their relationships a little better. She really did support my writing and poetry and cartooning and all manner of my creative pursuits. I miss her so much, and am happy that I have friends like you to support me in the good and bad right now. xoxoxoxox

    Laurie – I truly hope that your trip to Washington went as well as it could, the final stagings of the formal aspects of saying goodbye can be lovingly received and also disruptive to your emotions.

    Oh no – sadness that I have caught up with the podcasts – and you are on a 2 weekly release cycle 🙁 but joy that I got to hear my mention and subsequent review mention in the last 2 and I can now contribute as a caught up person!

    Apologies to anyone who has commented on my comments in previous episodes and blog posts – I had inadvertently typed my e-mail address incorrectly and had just accepted the cached version for each subsequent comment! I will try and make the time to revisit just in case 🙂

    Las Vegas was OK food wise, I allowed myself to experience ice cream (my “delicious” taste requirements) and the rest of the trip was beige food as I was with not very food-appreciating company. I am looking forward to a trip to Wales this afternoon which is with a true intuitive eater (she leaves cake on her plate for goodness sake)

    Healthwise I have had positive news this week that I am making good progress on getting over severe iron deficiency anaemia and that tests have not revealed any sinister reason for it to have happened in the first place. Just a few more months on strong strong strong iron tablets and hopefully I will be in a great place – brought on a bit of a relief binge on ice cream sticks (Magnums) but why the devil not!

    So counting down to your next podcast and in the meantime sending you hugs and smooches for being you xoxoxo

      Congrats Jo for I think, having the speed record for listening to the entire show! (How long did it take you?) I’m so glad to hear that your health news is good and things are looking better. I’m going to try to get a show out today and tomorrow, and maybe another next week just before we head out for Mark’s birthday trip. I’ve been beset it seems these days – my stubbed toe, turned out to be a broken toe and has clipped my hiking wings. I might be able to get to the park today, if not, then I will have to break tradition and record from my home studio.

      Have so much fun in Wales! I so remember it and the people I met there fondly. I hope it recharges your batteries after Vegas and look forward to our shared adventures as the show moves on.

        Laurie,

        Podcast speed record will do me, I do not recall exactly how long it took me but I think my record for listening in one day was 8 of your earlier shorter episodes. Walking and commuting to work, and earlier on I even pumped through car stereo!
        Wales is so far very Welsh, throwing down some serious weather all day yesterday. Cleared up enough to venture out for a stretching of the legs yesterday evening along the very swollen River Taff.
        The friend I am with is a shining example of intuitive eating. She has never dieted and her control around food blows my compulsive eating mind 🙂 If only I could get to this place It feels so alien (RA) to me
        Take care of yourself and only chat to us if it makes you feel good
        Xoxoxo
