What was supposed to be a "let's all lay down and get settled" - type of activity, somehow didn't go quite that way.
Ahhhhhh.....
quiet at last.
quiet at last.I've learned many new things this weekend. The most profound of which, is the fact that I SUCK at being a "girl mom". Bring on the snakes, lizards, dirt and boy stink, but please don't make me do another sleep-over!!! I thought this might be fun. I remember having fun at sleep-overs!
Reasons this won't be a regular occurrence at the Schreiber house:
1. Ally actually prefers to play by herself or with Jay, since they have worked out a very scientific formula regarding time spent playing Star Wars action figures and horses.
2. There has not yet been anything invented to prevent the transfer of Cheetos-orange onto porous surfaces.
3. Apparently, we do not possess an adequate supply of high-heeled, sparkly and gaudy shoes. This is a big no-no in the world of 7 year old dress-up.
4. It is ethically wrong to drug children for the sole purpose of getting them to shut up.
5. I loathe girl drama!! I can't take the bickering, gossiping and crying. I assume it only gets worse, the older they get and I just don't think I should be the one in charge of this.
All in all, it went well. I think the girls had fun and some very valuable lessons were learned. Now, I get to clean up the mess and God-willing, I will be in bed by 7:30 (you think I'm kidding)

Hmmmm, seems like I've been told Viv is a girl also. So what do we do for an encore? Maybe they were unaware what a "sleepover" was. That might have gone out with "kick the can". Hang in there tough!
That girl is always in motion!
I hate girl drama too. I'll never forget how mean girls were in junior high/high school. Ever. But at 7?! Seriously?! I was hoping it wouldn't start that early. I could see Al not taking crap from anybody though.
I hope you've recovered. You are a brave brave woman.
Bailey knows that song too!? I had the same reaction you did.....
Oy - the DRAMA. I agree with you on all fronts. I can handle the boy thing - but there is just so much about the girl thing that doesn't appeal to me at all. I think I remember it all too well - girls can be SO mean. Bailey would rather be on her own, hang with Payton or play with the boys at school, too. Fine with me - they are nicer. :)
Great job!! You did it - she loved it - and you survived!! No small thing! Now you deserve a restful week - kick back and relax. You've earned every minute of it! ;)
