Just when you think your teenager doesn't need you anymore... there he is with need, need, need!
Tonight is the Lynden Pioneer Museum Open House. The 34th annual, I have been at 13 of them, making tonight the 14th for me.
I find the participants, like the spinner, the shopkeepers, the Dairy Ambassadors, the music, the wood carver, train engineers to name a few. I also coordinate the food. It's one night of the year I have to work. Everything is ready and it should run like clock work.
Two weeks ago I mentioned to Max that I had Open House coming up and wouldn't be at the football game against Meridian. "Whhaaa- huh? Mom, no you will be there."
I wish I had my camera ready when I told him. It was a freak out face like I haven't seen before.
I had coverage for the museum, they bailed, I got more coverage, good coverage for myself. But if something goes wrong at the museum tonight I feel responsible. If I don't go to the game, Max will either score a touchdown or get hurt. It's true, the only other game I ever missed, he scored.
I've gone back and forth. I have a stomach ache. What should I do?

I think you should go to the museum and that way Max can score a touchdown. That was easy!
Your sister is funny!
But perhaps you should pose the question to Max: Does he want to score tonight, or does he want you to be there? ;)
I think it's nice that he wants you to be there...And I had a similar problem, back in the day. Super things happened in my absence...
Don't worry about the museum, I say! Your football days are limited! Go #83!!
Duh!! Go to the game!!! Remember the old adage of " I wish I would have worked more, rather than spending time with my family"? That might be on my tombstone, but it shouldn't be on yours!!!!
I would LOVE it if Tyler asked me to be at anything he was participating in.
As for the wine...I've heard it's good, but I won't let anyone open it cuz it's so cute!!! I've had it for years!!! Gets better with age right???
Good thing Brian gets wine at work because when I buy it, it's purely for the label!!
Family first. There have been too many things I have missed because of work, I surely cannot do that to my staff. And tell Max that if he doesn't score (at least with a cheerleader) then he should seriously rethink why he is playing football. ;)
Although all of us here will miss you at the open house. (and Fred-he is so official clicking that counter!)
