Girly girl sleepover party

[karen J]

OK, I am in the midst of a girl sleepover party. All the girls are in their PJ's and screaming. They've had the pizza, the cake, the pinata. Laura (my DD) is extremely tired and complaining. Everyone else is having fun.

Like my Dad always said, "anticipation is greater than realization". The poor girl is exhausted from being too excited. She got up at 6:30 this morning and has been jumping-up-and-down excited all day long.

I've been running around all day preparing, and am ready for bed. No bed for me! No soup for me. No bed for me.

But I got some cake.  Worth it.

What a brave woman you are!  Braver than I would be.

Sure hope everyone survived it!  I do remember those days. . . . the last sleepover we had here (just one child) resulted in my taking the young lady home because she started barfing.  I was very happy that I had lotsa bags in my car . . . .

Teresa, I was pretty worried that something like that might happen, but it didn't.

Whew. We survived! What an incredible mess. I'll have to remember next time not to go so crazy cleaning beforehand.

Oh, I remember those parties, but my boys are all grown up now and it seems so long ago.  One time oldest son fell and broke his arm and we had to take everyone home on our way to the hospital.  Another time it was his birthday party and the OJ chase was on TV.  A lot of the boys wanted to watch the chase instead of party and it upset our son!!!!!!!  One time I woke up at 5:45 am to an odd sound.  It was pool balls hitting together in the basement, they had stayed up all night, quite an accomplishment for ten year olds!  Nice memories, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
