I hope the slightly opened ketchup and mustard packets under the toilet seat won't stain anything too bad.

***totally off topic.....but....had anyone else noticed Shannon's tag??!!? PLEASE tell me you haven't started shopping yet! ***

OK, back to the sleep overs......

Mental note......NEVER invite Shannon over to spend the night!!!!

 

[browneyes]

LOL, Jennifer. No, I haven't started yet, but I will real soon. I used to have everything bought by the end of September. I'm not that organized anymore (I did that before I had kids ). My son has started singing Christmas songs though. (in a way, that's also a birthday counter, my bday is the day after Christmas )

Jennifer, do you think Jodie heard how I am at sleepovers and THAT'S why she didn't invite me?

 

[jldriscoll]

...well...I didn't want to be the one to say anything but yeah Shannon....you do have something of a reputation here

 

[browneyes]

I thought my only rep was for my double posting.

 

[jldriscoll]

...you know what they say about double posters!!!......

Christmas carols huh? hmmmmm..... I think I might go crazy hearing carols for 4 months

So do you like having a Christmas-ish b-day?

OOOOPPS off topic again! If we're not careful Jodie might shhhsh us so she can sleep!

 

[browneyes]

No, what do they say, Jennifer?

I heard Christmas carols one year for 16 months straight. I used to be so upset because my son wouldn't sing songs. He sang jingle bells for 16 months, I started missing his non-singing.

I wouldn't know how to have a bday at any other time of year. My mom has always gone out of the way to make my bday extra special. She feels like I got cheated or something. I don't feel cheated.

WAKE UP JODIE!

Sleep??? I remember....sleep. Don't think I'll be sleeping today though. After all the coffee I've had I feel more like this...

!
Well let's see...ds and his bud fell asleep watching Shrek around midnight...not bad at all! "The girls" fell asleep around 1am...again, not bad! I think I have discovered the secret of sleepovers...have em on a Friday night after they have been in school all week. They don't have the stamina to pull an all nighter!! Of course their "early" slumber might have had a little to do with me standing in the doorway to the den (after listening to the sound of many balloons being batted around juuust a little too long) saying something like "I will pop every balloon in this room if they don't all hit the floor right NOW and stay there until the sun rises!!!" After that I heard a little giggling...but no more balloons! So I actually fell asleep arounf 1am thniking I had it made...till the phone rang at 2:15am!!!

It was my friend, Mom of one of "the wild things". "Hey...did you call me?, she asked!!! Uh...yeah, thought I would just call at 2:15am to chat awhile....NO I didn't call you!! So we both figured it must have been her dd and I went down to investigate. There she sat, bolt upright in her sleeping bag, surrounded by sleeping wild things. I can't sleep she says....think I want to go home she says! So I put her on the phone with her Mom and they "decided" that she would try one more time to sleep. I gave her a great big hug and tucked her in and told her to think of her favorite things, relax and go to sleep!! half an hour later she was snoring....but I WASN"T!!!

Thought about checking in with ya'll but I figured even ya'll were asleep by now. Finally fell asleep around 3:30 to be awakened to Aaron Carter blaring from the cd player at 6:30 am!!! Ahhhh the sound of rap music in the morning!! Just kinda gets your day jump started...know what I mean? Hee hee! So I roll out of bed and remember my broken toe as I try to take a step! If I wasn't awake before I was then!! Downstairs I went to check on the wild things and start pancakes (how did you guess Shannon?) An hour later they are finally full and FULL of energy...let the pillow fight begin!!! Did I actually tell the parents to pick them up at 10:00AM?!?!? Note to self...next time make pick up time earlier!! As they are rolling up sleeping bags I am sweeping huge mounds of crushed food into the corner of the room...it would feed a small country! Then outside they go, to come screaming in 30 minutes later screaming the word "SNAKE" in an octave only a 12 year old girl could hit!!! As I grabbed a broom I thought of shep!! LOL! I am hobbling across the yard imagining dripping fangs and something in the 6 foot long range, only to find this squirmy little thing about 3 inches long being tortured by the wild things!

My "live and let live" speech was falling on deaf ears so I casually mentioned that this little thing's Mama was probably under the next rock and would not be happy with their terrorist tactics! The poor little thing got some peace after that!
So all in all it was a great time, I got no mustard or ketsup squirted on me , nobody tp'd anything and there were NO bowls of warm water!! Note to self...NEVER invite Shannon to a sleepover!! LOL! So Zurgy...how did your night with the boys go? I am off to hose down the den...see you guys later!!!

So glad to hear a report Dream...we were getting a little worried about what those girls may have done to you It sounds like a good time was had by all......tell your DD Happy Birthday!

 

[jldriscoll]

Sounds like you survived Jodie!!!!

Hmmmmm...wonder if Zurg was EATEN BY HIS WILD THINGS?!?!?!

Hey....I'm the one who guessed pancakes!!!! Do I get any????

 

[Dream]

Sorry Jennifer! Blame sleep deprivation and bone pain!! Um...you can have some if you want but...well....let's just say the wild things aren't known for their pristine hygeine!! Come on over and I'll make a fresh batch...if debster brings me another one of those caffeine laden smoothies!!

 

[jldriscoll]

ooo, I'm in for one of those smoothies!!!

For pancakes and smoothies I'll even help you clean!!!


No apologies necessary...it concerns me just a little when I'm mixed up with Shannon

After all, her rep. you know......LOL!!!!
