Tomorrow, I get my wisdom teeth out. It is also my mom's birthday. She is going to be the big 5-0. Dad and I were going to plan a party for her, but we just discovered that she'd rather have dinner with close family and friends. We were going to have like, 20 people come to a restaurant, and she told us today that she'd rather have something on a more intimate setting, and then spend the money that we would have spent feeding a lot of people on something else. Like, a trip to France so that she can wander the Louvre. So, yeah. It's nice, because I hate planning stuff and calling people, but now we don't know what to do. Because it's a big birthday! Her sister's husband planned a big party for Kathy's 40th on the 6th, and I don't want her to feel left out. But then, Mom really isn't the big party type of person. With big parties, she feels like you never really get to have as much conversation with people as you want to. So, we'll figure something else out. But I was looking forward to planning an awesome night for her. Make her feel special, and make me feel in charge.
