Murrayville Mom's Mom is no more.
If you read one of my last postings then you know the E8s have moved. Cathy will probably be coming up with a replacement for Murrayville Mom, and if she isn't Murrayville Mom how, I ask you, could I be Murrayville Mom's Mom?
So why Motor Mouth Mom? The simple answer is: Our three very cheeky daughters!
For reasons that I am not even too sure of myself, our daughter Amy started referring to my beloved and I as, Motor for Mom, and Diesel for Dad. No doubt it had something to do with her training as a 9-1-1 dispatcher, and using the Phonetic Alphabet. Not that D=Diesel nor M=Motor, are part of the Phonetic Alphabet. More likely it was her fun loving way of speaking code to her sisters so we wouldn't catch on. I remember when she was very small, about 5ish, she made up a language that delighted her sisters Cathy and April very much. The only word I can still recall is "oinchkin-aboinchkin"-don't ask me what it means, but it is oh so Amy.

Only in the past 3 years or so ago did we learn that we had been nicknamed. As a joke my beloved and I decided to have t-shirts made up and even went so far as taking them, the t's, not the kids, on our cruise which amused our children greatly. I also took to signing e-mails Motor and Diesel because we loved that we had been given nicknames. So thank you Amy, April and Cathy for the inspiration.
Long story short: M is for Mom is for Motor is for Motor Mouth Mom and a blog title is born!
