replaced?

Yesterday was Caleb's 17th birthday. we had asked him for a week how he would like to celebrate, he said he didn't know. they had off school on fri. so i think he kind of wanted to wait and see what plans his friends were making. well it ended up we did presents and he wanted blazin' steaks, a little restaurant that makes really good steak, slices it, 2 scoops of rice and salad. Hawaiian plate lunch. i had a meeting that i was debating on going to but when it came time for the meeting caleb wasn't even here so off i went and off he went to hang with his girlfriend- teenagers! or boys i am not sure which or both! anyway i felt replaced. caleb asked for 2 things for his birthday, shoes which he is obsessed with and an ipod cord for the car so of course i got him both and a t-shirt. he opens the presents and says nicole already got me both of these- AHAGGGAH, i guess he told her the same 2 things but that is a lot of money for a girlfriend to spend. he wanted to keep the shoes since they were different but i am taking back the car thing. she made him cupcakes so i didn't need to do cake. i really don't think i am an apron strings kind of mom but i really felt replaced. i can't do much for caleb anymore at least give me the birthday! caleb decided he wanted to celebrate on sunday with a bbq with the mozo's so i guess that is all i get?! pictures to follow later...
