I don't wanna grow up

Yesterday I had dropped my daughter off at a slumber party, my youngest son was at his cousin's house for the night, and my husband and the dog were visiting his parents. That left me and my oldest son at home. I was a little bit cranky as this week is finals and I am stressing to make sure I keep all of my A's in my classes. I had the door to my bedroom open and I heard him watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory in his room. Mr. "I am too good to be involved in childish things". It made me stop in my tracks. Instead of going on with my work I thought was important, I stopped everything I was doing and joined him to watch the movie. Then I wanted to get ice cream. We paused the movie and hit up the local Baskin Robbins. We also grabbed some Burger King and headed back home to enjoy our spoils. We finished watching the movie in the living room and were dancing around and singing all of the songs. It was so much fun and for that time I forgot about all of my worries and enjoyed what childhood time I have left with a 14 year old young man. When I was younger I couldn't wait to grow up, but once I had grown up I decided I wanted the freedom of childhood. It is great when your children can bring you back to the good old days.
