The plane was getting ready to land so I sent my mom a quick text letting her know that I'm here. I put all my stuff away, I was excited to see my mom. Tyler put his tray down. As the steward walked thru.

The landing had me a little scared because of the shaking as we landed. Making me give Tyler a scared look as I gripped the arm rests. When the plane  finally came to a complete stop, I threw my hair into a quick ponytail and put on my shades. I grabbed my carry on and I was set to find my mom. Tyler walked with me off the plane.

There's mom with a sign and balloons. As soon as she saw me, she started jumping around. As we see my mom, we start laughing. My mom is so quirky.  He gives me a quick hug and says that he will see me later as he walks back to his own family.

"Baby, baby I missed you!!!" She says sorta yelling. Bystanders around us start gawking at us. Yup I'm definitely home. Amazing how just seeing her makes you happy to be home. It's been a long summer with out her.

"Mommy!!!" I shouted back to her. I give her the love story airport run and start hugging her. This is why I love her, she's a little crazy and goes over board, but you can't help but join in. I just can't stop smiling and the feeling of being home washes over me.

"Selfies!!!" mom shouts as she puts her iphone in front of us and starts clicking away. She's making all kinds of funny faces for the camera while clinging onto me. I'm surprised she doesn't have her selfie stick.

"Awwww mom, I look so gross and I smell..." I whined doing a quick arm pit smell.Yuck, I'm so getting kicked out of here from the smell alone. Maybe I can blame it on the old stinky guy that was sitting next to me.

" Just please no Facebook posts with these!!!" I begging, but I know it's all for nothing.

"Honey I'm feeling like a girls day, manicure, pedicure and haicut..The works. ..maybe dinner at Red Lobster??!!" mom says with a quick grin and a wink.  She looks down at her phone and starts swiping away.

"I'm feeling like there's a catch...are you buttering me up???" I ask. She's got me curious, but I'm not sure if I should make a run for it. My phones alert is going off. I look down at my phone and its Facebook telling me, I just got tagged in ten photos. Really mom.......

"Oh honey I just missed you and there's some thing's I need to tell you." mom says. I know I remember our conversation from earlier about keeping an open mind.

" Ok mommy, but I want to go home and shower first." I tell her as I grab my bags.

We leave for the parking lot and I look around for our car. That's no where to be found. Oh great I hope it didn't break down again. To the bus stop.  I hear my mom clear her throat, I look up and she points to a new ford explorer.

"Is the suv the new change mom?" I ask. I pull my luggage with me to the new suv. This is a good change. Goodbye being stuck on the side of road all the time. In the words of my mom though, it was a classic.  Really we just couldn't afford a newer car that didn't overheat.

"It's one of them sweets, you like?" mom says with a grin. Standing proud like a peacock. So proud she figured out something for us. I knew she could do it.  Definitely beats our old ford escort. My gramps is all about American made cars. Says how do you expect to support yourself if you send all your money over seas. Either way I'm glad to see the old rust bucket gone.

"It's great mom!" I tell her smiling as I climb in. I get a whiff of that new car smell.  No more dirty old exhaust as my perfume.

" Your going to be teaching me to drive in this." I tell her as I turn on the radio.  I buckle my seat belt and get comfortable. 

*************************

An hour later, I'm showered, dressed, and ready to go. I climbed down the stairs to see mom making lunch. Cucumber sandwiches.

I sit at the table and start eating a sandwich and chips. I'm glad to be home and clean. I can't wait to call my friends but that will have to wait until tomorrow. So much I want to do. My mind lingers on all the plans I want to make.

"So sweets while you were gone, the cute guy from Starbucks asked me out and we have now been dating for the past month. " she says nervously. Her eyes never leaving me, watching my facial reaction.

I smiled at her and ask tapping my chin like I was deep in thought. I hate how she thinks I would be upset about her moving on. Its been too long since she's been happy.

" The cute guy who ran into you, causing you to spill your chai.....I think his name was Jack or was it Jason??" I mess with her. Like I could forget.  She was so upset about how she was interviewing for a bigger position and had a brown stain on the front of shirt.  I had to ride my bike to the hospital with a clean shirt because she didn't have time before her shift to come home. Luckily she got it because we really need the extra money.

"Yes!!" she squeals while clapping her hands. im glad shes finally dating. "but his name is Will, lets head out."

I eye her suspiciously and ask her "So hows the dating going?"

"Your meeting him and his sons tonight at Red Lobster! It's going to be so much fun. Their such sweet boys." She says with a smile while grabbing the keys and heading out the door. She's too nervous. There's so much I want to ask her but I'm having trouble reading her.

"Mom, I'm cool with you dating. Relax would you, unless your knocked up. Are you knocked up mom? Did someone not wear a rain coat?" I ask raising my eyebrows at her as we climb into the suv.

"Lani!!!" my mom shouts at me. She's now a little red in the cheeks, pointing her finger at me. I can tell she looks mortified especially since her sex talk with me was don't do it. It makes you have babies and you start to smell down there really bad. Thank god for sex ed.

"I was just wondering if I was getting a new baby brother or sister? " I ask her. Looking innocently at her.

"Lani, your killing me!!" mom says finally smiling at me. I'm glad she's finally relaxing.

We get to the salon and we grab a seat at the pedicure chairs after we pick out our nail polish. I decided to go with a light pink. I love pedicares, and with it being hot out, I gotta be ready for the beach to party.

With our nails and hair styled we head out. I start texting my friends letting them know I'm back. With my birthday next week, I'm ready to start making plans. I love being a leo, summer birthday!! I also get my license real soon. Next week is going to be great, it's my sweet sixteen!!
