The senior prom was last night. After my DD's date picked her up at our house, a large group of kids met at another boy's house where the limo was going to pick them all up. Actually there were 2 limos there--the big Hummer "discomobile" (my word) for 22 and another regular limo for another 10. They picked this house because it was near the high school where they were having the after prom party but also because the yard is really nice, has a gazebo where they could take pics, etc. So don't you think that it starts pouring right when we were on the way to that house--I could hardly see to drive. It let up a little, but of course it stopped raining after they were in the limo on the way. There were so many kids and parents crowded in that house that I never even found out who the parents were who lived there. Then they had the after party until 5:00 a.m. I guess it was a success.
DD came home and slept for a while and now she is off for a few days w/ her friends. I have been having a lot of anxiety lately and I don't know if it's just her going away w/o an adult for the first time, or thinking about her going away to college or what. I'll have to see if I calm down when she comes home. I actually feel it in my stomach, like I'm going to get sick. I am seeing a therpist for various reasons, so I will mention it to her and see what she says. This is def. not like me.
Anyway, we do this all again next year w/ DSD, who is taking her SATs today.

It's not easy to see our kiddos grow up - I know I'll be a wreck in two years when my DD is graduating! Hope your DD had fun at the prom and after party, and that her trip away is relaxing and UNEVENTFUL!!
