7 hours
In just 7 hours man cub will be heading off to a birthday slumber party. Apparently this is something boys still do well into their 20’s. To show the mom my gratitude, I just baked some vanilla bean shortbread cookies. I figure she can hide in her bedroom and wolf them down while a pack teenage boys run wild through her home (really, it's the least I could do.) In just 7 hours my son will be put to the test with how much caffeine to drink while mom’s not around. Last year it ended badly. I think it took him at least three days to come off the caffeine rush. This year, I had him do some research on the affects of caffeine in the futile hope that he’ll make smarter choices. Images of a beer funnel full of foam with “GO GO” being chanted in five short years race through my mind. In just 7 hours my man and I will get to have the coveted “Date Night.” We’re toying with the radical idea of just staying home, firing up the BBQ and watching an old movie. Note to self: don’t eat till you feel sick (I really don’t know where man cub gets his overindulging tendencies!) In 7 hours we won’t walk the dogs (even though we said we would), man cub won’t brush his teeth (even though he said he would), the friend’s mother will swear this is the last birthday party sleepover she ever hosts at her house (but she’ll do it again next year) and summer will be that much richer and closer to being over. 2 comments from 2 users
