This weekend 100% reaffirmed what I already knew...I am definitely cut out to be a boy mom. It was the prom for our high school, and since Thomas's girlfriend is a senior, they went last night. He got a tux two weeks ago, and paying for that was literally the most effort I put into the weekend. I was horrified yesterday afternoon when I realized I hadn't thought about a corsage, but Thomas had already taken care of that as well. We showed up for pictures at 4:30, they hung out at our house between dinner and the dance, and then we took them to after prom. We didn't want them driving home in the middle of the night (3AM is the end time). I did that middle of the night drive, and then I couldn't fall asleep. Just as I was about to be asleep, the power went out, and the lack of white noise woke me up. Then when it came back on, that woke me up as well.
Honestly, I just don't love the whole thing. When I got married, I didn't have my hair done or my nails done, or my make up done. I couldn't even begin to imagine spending that kind of money on something I absolutely didn't care about. Catherine's only prom was the "make up" event that was thrown in 2021. Thank goodness for a dear friend who came over and wanted to do Catherine's hair and make up. It just isn't my thing at all. In fact, Prom weekend is not among my favorite as I don't love being awake in the middle of the night for transportation either!
Regardless of all of this, I wouldn't trade my daughter for anything! Hopefully I haven't scarred her by not being a great "girl mom!" 😁
