I feel like I did when the boys were very small and they would want to shadow me on my every move....except tonight they know I'm trying to do a little last minute birthday shopping on the Internet.
Every where I turn there are two sets of eyes following me. It's pointless anyway. They're smarter than I am and they'll probably just pull up the history files on the computer to see where I've been searching.
Last year was a birthday gift disaster. Apparently I was suffering from some sort of "mom" disease where I couldn't tell how grown-up they were or assumed they were. This year, Big Al and I conducted some serious planning as to what should go on the birthday list.
There's added pressure with this being the first "teen" year.
Keep your fingers crossed. We still haven't decided what the celebration will entail - most likely paintball and grilled steaks.
