Not bench press part 2

I am such a bad mom, or at least a bad bride's mom! Last weekend when I was totally free Kristen didn't even come home. This weekend she wants to go and look at more places for receptions and of course I am going to do it, but I would rather stay home and watch the Carolina women's basketball game. There aren't that many of the women's games that get televised, and this is a big one. They are playing against Maryland. This will be a tough physical game that, if it is anything like the last few times these two teams have been matched up has the possibility to get nasty. I am sure it will be very exciting. And coming off of a narrow loss to the #1 CT Huskies, I think Carolina is going to be out to prove themselves with some outstanding play. Well I am trying to be a good mom and go out looking with Kristen and DVR-ing the game, but inside I know I am a bad bride's mom who would rather be watching the game!
But maybe I can call myself a good mom since I AM going to go out looking with Kristen instead of staying home and watching it. I guess I just feel that a really good mom would WANT to go and look at these places, not just do it anyways. Why don't I want to go and look? Maybe because the majority of the places are going to be too expensive to really consider? Or because I disagree with Kristen's ideas about what is important about a wedding? Even though I really think it is a good thing that Kristen and Brad are not getting married for another year and half part of me wishes it was sooner than that so I wouldn't have all this wedding stuff going on for so long. I am so not an event kind of person! Let's face it - not only would I rather watch basketball than check out reception sites but I would also rather get my teeth cleaned, organize my closet, or pick fleas off the dog. But it is important to Kristen, and Kristen is my daughter so I am going to just suck it up and try to do it right. And you all out there who know me, please feel free to remind me that I said that, will you?
