I thought I would be feeling so empty and lost the next day. Like remember how in Pretty In Pink, Annie Potts is talking about how missing the prom gives you this feeling all your life like something is wrong? None of that happened. I know I didn't miss anything unusual. I know I sure as heyall didn't miss all the crowds and trying to park and mosquito bites and obnoxious people crowding my personal dance space and I actually woke up the next day having had more sleep to kill off the gigantic beer buzz of the day.

You can't just drop 'the Bon Jovi/ Cinderella concert' on us then walk away, chica. That's just not right. On behalf of your readership, I say this.

Not to mention, the noise freaked them out, even when they were much older. Thank God for daycare--at least you didn't have to wrestle the bearcat fulltime! My kids didn’t see fireworks until they were in elementary school for the very reasons you mentioned–I didn’t want to deal with their celebration hangover AND I knew they’d have their whole lives to watch fireworks–why rush?

Thank God for daycare–at least you didn’t have to wrestle the bearcat fulltime!
