No, it's not the latest slasher flick... my eldest daughter is having her 12th birthday party (a sleepover, naturally)

4. My condolences...
It's been awhile since I've braved on of those, but as soon as my daughter's new room is finished, I'm again obligated. :scared:

Good luck tonight! Hopefully, no one vomits, fights, or otherwise has any irritating issues. :D

11. My Kids Used to Have Impromptu Sleepovers When They Were Teenagers
They lived a few blocks from where their Alateen group met, and many of the kids would spend the night craashing in their living room.

16. Sounds cool...
I've been trying to cultivate the attitude that I'm a "cool parent" and am encouraging all the kids to make our house the "after school hangout"
(Gad that makes me sound like some kind of pederast! :( )

Makes it easier to keep an eye on my kids and also gives any of "the gang" a safe and secure place whenever they need one.

21. My Kids Used to Say....
...that since their mother and I had them young, we were "cooler" than their friend's parents, since their friend's parents were all much older than us.

(Today, I'm 51 - my kids are 29 and 28. Their mother passed away six years ago...)

18. Valium, LOTS of Valium.
It's makes the screeching and giggling somewhat bearable...

:P

23. Welcome to the last 30 years of my life!
Ain't it grand? I've always believed we could light up an entire city of the energy of 12 year olds. Don't expect to get any sleep tonight.

:hippie:
