because I'm a nice mom...
So it's New Year's Eve...and we are gearing up tooooooo......stay home!! Woohooo!! Actually, I am totally fine with staying home...as you know, I tend to be a bit of a homebody. :)
BUT, Seth on the other hand, is Mr. Social. He is always going and doing. He loves to socialize and go places and meet people. And he rarely likes to just stay home. WHich is fine...this will serve him well in college and in life, I think. I just glanced over at him...eating his pizza...and had a huge *love* pang for him. He's such a good kid...and I can't believe he'll be moving on in just a few short years.
Anyway... I don't want to get emotional...so I'll move on...to what a nice mom I am. :)
So Seth is going to a New Year's party tonight...parent's home, no alcohol. (At least that's what he tells me and I believe him. He hasn't lied to me about this matter yet...so...he gets my trust. I also have to remember...he is not ME. Never has been. Never will be. He's a good kid.) He asked if he could go...and I hemmed and hawed because I knew it meant me driving. And I was really looking forward to staying in tonight. However, I figured I would be one of the few sober parents and it would probably be safe for me to be the driver. So...I agreed to pick him up along with a friend or two and drive them home. Because I'm nice.
And so because of this...in an hour or two...I will need to go to Starbucks drive-thru and order something large with lots of caffeine. I will also need to stop for gas...because I'm on empty. So much for staying in, eh?
I'm looking forward to 2011...I think it's gonna be good. And I'm ready for some of that. Not that 2010 was bad, per se. But...it wasn't as good as I'd hoped at the end of 2009. So...here's to ringing in a new and wonderful year...full of promise and hope...are you ready? I am.
