My Youngest

Sunday my youngest turns 13. Wow, where did the time go? By the end of last school year his voice started to change. We always ask our children where they would like to go for dinner on their special day. We keep asking him and he still doesn't know where he wants to go. We let them invite a friend or two to go as well. So here it is Thrusday already and he still doesn't know where he wants to go for dinner. My husband said maybe we should just pick the place, I said NO it is his special day he has to pick where we're going, after all it is kind of a tradition. I know by Sunday he will know where he wants to go. In the mean time I have been asking him what he would like for his birthday he finally told me yesterday. So I will going shopping tomorrow. I always try and get them what they want, but I always have to threw in some clothes which he needs pants anyway. He has grown out of his pants and only has two pairs. I love to shop anyway so it will be fun to go out and get somethings that he wants. My sister in law always sends the kids money for their birthday and for Christmas and I got thinking the other night of how much money they would have had, had they saved all this money. Nursemom said yeah but it's birthday money. So, my son had got his money last Saturday and of course it was burning a hole in his pocket so on Sunday my husband took him out so he could spend it. He bought this batman lego game for the play station and than he ask me if he could buy his own cell phone. I told him he could but that if he abused the privilege we would take it away as a punishment he agreed. He bought the phone and now my daughter is upset because his phone is nicer than hers. Oh my gosh! Having two teenagers in the house is very different for me since my oldest son is so much older. Nursemom how did you do it with having how many teenagers at one time? I took his birthday off so it will be nice to have six days off work! I really need it too. I haven't been feeling all that great, not that I am sick or anything just feeling kind of blah. So I am looking forward to my son's birthday and having the time off to collect my thoughts and in hopes that I just stop feeling this blah. I think it is because the holidays are coming up and it will be the first year without my mom. This too will pass.
