13

My Ada just turned 13.  She is smart, friendly, funny and like all teenagers... moody.  I feel pretty lucky to be her mom.  She is more and more fun as she grows up.  I'm starting to enjoy her more as a friend and not just a daughter.  We got her a drawing tablet for the computer for her birthday.  She's been playing with it for 2 days and I think she likes it.  It's so much better than the one I used to have during college.  Technology sure has come a long way in the last 10 years.  

Because of her being older and because of COVID, I told her months ago that we weren't doing a party.  She said okay, but now she's planning on a couple of friends watching an outdoor movie together.  I'm glad that she can plan, I was a little blindsided that she's planning her own party when I had said no.  But, she's only inviting a couple of friends and she's not doing anything wrong so I'm going to let it slide.  I'm starting my last set of shots in my neck the day that she's planning it, so it's all hers... not my deal at all.
