I am quietly laughing.
I have only ever done 1 as in ONE sleep over party. Whoever came up with that name missed the mark. NOONE Sleeps! during the thing.
JackB you get the medal for Dadism on this one. Mine was all girls, oh! the mess.
Anyway, still laughing, good night. Billy
So funny (to me). I hate, hate, H-A-T-E sleepovers too. Talk about the parent being crabby the next day, the kids are a wreck so its a double punishment for us.
Homework….way back, I helped my daughter with a fourth grade paper. Couldn’t believe I only got a 97%.
Glad I’m not you at the present time. Get a nap this afternoon.
I feel your pain – I was the freaked-out shrew who stopped 5 or 6 (or 60?) 10-year-olds from drawing on the sleeping one’s face (at least someone was asleep!) with permanent marker during one sleepover. I don’t think we ever had more than 1 or2 kids at a time sleeping over after that night.
I hope today looks better, for your sake and the kids’.

Hi Billy,
I remember the ones that my sisters used to have as being particularly painful so I am not real excited about my daughter’s plan to have some too.
But since her brother has had several I think I am going to be stuck. I am a stickler for trying to make sure that I am fair to all of my children.
Thank you for the medal. I’ll take it in spirit or otherwise. 🙂
And the teenage version is sooooo interesting. How is it that sleepovers last, and last, and last?
(Then again, this is why we love our coffee.)
BLW,
I can wait for the teenage version. When I think about what happened when I was a teen I want to lock my kids up. 😉
Oy, I can wait a few years for that.
That is just too funny!
It had its moments.
Hello Gina,
Yep, got a house filled with cranky people today and lots of work to be done. Been all sorts of fun.
🙂

Hi Elaine,
It is mid-afternoon and I am heavily caffeinated so things are much better now.
I understand the 5, 6 or 60 feeling.
Sounds like you had your hands full at that party.
Hey Jack,
I can “hear” the agony! 😉
Now, I have all the empathy… really!
And I was always scared to have kids, it seems like I am more than scared now! 🙂
Nah, don’t be scared- be terrified. 😉
