13

I am the mother of a teenager. 13 years old today. Eeek. She is very happy with her e-reader and her Sims game and her new bank account.

The 7th (? Note to self: check) annual May Party was great fun. I woke up very early this morning, and couldn't get back to sleep despite staying up until 3 in the morning. So I pootled about clearing up (how many bottles?), and snacking on left over cake until everyone else got up. We spent a pleasant day hanging out together. Now everyone has gone home, and we are slowly recovering. Early nights all round, and more celebrating tomorrow.
