Being the single mom of a 14-year-old boy is, to say the least, very interesting. Mostly very cute. I have so much fun with him!
Since I didn't have Valentine's Day plans for myself (or a date!), I had so much fun helping him plan the perfect Valentine surprises for his beautiful girlfriend.
We arranged for flowers to be sent to her house on Friday and we made reservations for dinner for the two of them on Saturday, only to find that her family then decided to take their family to the snow on Valentine's Day. Neither one of them were happy about it, but such is life. We simply changed the reservation to Monday afternoon & they had a lovely time.
We also had the joy of trying to find suits for him and his friend... I got lassoed into that one, but it was really thoughtful on the part of my son. When I was asking him where he wanted to get his suit from, he said we should go to Men's Warehouse because they were advertising a 2 for 1 sale and he wanted to give the free suit to his friend because his family is struggling a little right now. Well, what do you do when you get to the store with both boys and are confronted with false advertising and have only this day to get them both suits? All I have to say is, "Thank God I got my federal income tax return the day before!!"
My son and his girlfriend were voted in as the freshman prince & princess! Awwwww! How cute is that? And, the cool part is that he is so not into being popular. He's an amazing kid, with a really healthy sense of self.
Life is wonderful!
Peace Out
