I'm a bad mom. Yesterday was my daughters' birthday (and my husband's). We had a party at the children's gym. For whatever reason, my daughters decided to leave the activities in the gym and hang out in the party room. We tried several times to get them to re-join their own birthday party, but they were having fun, and so were their guests. Just not together. Toward the end, after everyone had joined in the party room for cake and it was almost time to leave, my daughter H said she wanted to put on a High School Musical show. A good mother would have told the party guests to shush and listen so her daughter could sing at her own birthday party. But not me. I explained to my sweet H that the party guests had been singing and dancing HSM songs in the gym (we requested a HSM theme) while she and her sister were in the empty party room. Can I go back and do that moment over again?

Can I just say, I felt like it was my fault! I'm the one who made this foolish comment to Haley: "You can do anything you want; it's your birthday!" You are an incredible mother, and you were dealing with a huge birthday party, and mean Gym people who were telling you the party had to be over and out in way too short a time. I think the girls had a good time despite missing the gymnastics parade and getting to perform HSM for the group. Did you see how many cookies they got to eat? Anyway, at 8 they won't be too old for a HSM performance. Who knows which sequel they'll be on by then?!
