Yes, the decision is finally made.
I’m going to The Impish One’s high school graduation tonight.
I mean he’s my baby. How could I not go? (see how he was a little imp, even at a young age?)
But here is the impossibly cute Geeky One. While I’m still not pleased about missing The Geeky One’s College Graduation across the state, I figured the choice of just staying in bed with the blankets up over my head was not an option.
I mean, who can resists this face?? I’m just so sorry I have to miss his college graduation!! People (colleges and high schools) should REALLY be required to consult me before setting graduation times. Especially those with the tendency to pick the exact same time, in two different cities!! The jerks.
But you know what I really can’t figure out??
How in the world did they get from this….
To this?? In just a moment’s time.
Do NOT put me in this choosing between two sons again. Ever. 
Being the mature person I am 
, I’m going to go to the high school graduation, take pics for SuperGuy to see, then go home and have a drink… 
Though, honestly, at times today the option to stay in bed with those covers up has seemed tempting. :wink: I sent SuperGuy over to The Geeky One’s graduation. I’m hoping the Photography One will get some good pics of the college graduation for me.

Girl, I feel for ya. I would be tempted to go into the head of graduation ceremonies person’s office and have a thing or two to say about consulting the mother of the graduation party!
I also understand the moment thing. I am too young to be a grandma!
Oh I feel your heart being pulled in two directions. And this moment’s time thing? Why? In my opinion, it is the worst part of motherhood.
Awww. Well, for what it’s worth, I think you made the right choice. College — older, more on their own. You gotta go to the high school graduation.
I think you made the right choice. I hope that you get lots of great pics. Tell them both congratulations!
I can feel your pain in having to make this decision. Enjoy the graduation and try not to cry to terribly much.
To be honest, I would have picked the HS graduation as well. But man, it would have been a tough decision! :crazy2:
I always make my bed. Always. It’s still unmade today…’cause it’s still calling my name to crawl back into it and pull up the covers :sad:
Peace and good thoughts to you today, Kacey! In spite of the dilemma, have joy in the fact that you’ve raised two seemingly terrific young men. They DO grow up quickly, and I don’t envy your dilemma.
What a brutal decision to have to make. I’m going to have to keep my Maybelline home a year after high school so this doesn’t happen with her and Little Guy. Or encourage her to switch majors as a junior and stay longer.
I think you made a good decision. The most difficult choice I had to choose between was my boys at 2 little league games on different fields. I know, ther’es no comparison. Now the other good decision – going home and having a drink. You deserve it.
I know this was difficult for you. Hope you have a wonderful time with your son and enjoy the stories and photographs when the others return home. Congratulations to both your boys, Kacey!
Oooh, tough spot to be in–what could you do?? How do they grow so quickly is beyond me!
