Sleepover

Jill had her first sleepover this weekend.  She invited two friends from school.  We all did face masks, I painted all their toes we ate junk food and did crafts.  OK, that was Jill's experience, this was mine:

Cook dinner.  Hear a little girl I barely know tell me she doesn't like almost everything on the table.  Ask Jill to eat her hamburger at least 10 times.  Tell Liam to get off the video games and come eat at least 20 times.  Do dishes and sweep up dining room.  Playing with the bunny.  Help Liam start a school project that is due in 5 days.  "Mommy, can we do face masks?"  Help all little girls put on their face masks.  Remove all old polish from little toe nails.  Paint 30 little toe nails.  Help rinse faces and clean up the massive mess they made in the bathroom.  Playing with the bunny.  "Mommy, can we have snacks now"?  Help open all the snacks.  Sit on couch for 10 min.  Do more dishes and more sweeping.  Playing with the bunny.  "Mommy, can we paint pictures now?"  Help get out paper, find all crayons and pencils and markers.  Sit on couch for 10 min.  Clean up all the paper and crayons and pencils and markers.  More sweeping.  Work on project.  Finally sit down to watch a movie.  By 11pm I am so exhaused I just don't care anymore.  About anything.  I declare the girls have to go to Jill's room and stay there.  As I put them to bed, they all give me hugs and want me to tuck them in.  Wake up and cook pancakes and sausage.  But of course, one little girl doesn't like pancakes.  So I heat up a homemade frozen waffle for her.  She doesn't like it.  She wants a bowl of cereal.  Dishes, sweeping.  Painting pictures, playing with the bunny.  Finally!  Mommies show up.  Yay!

Jill says "that was so fun, we have to do it again!" Oh goodness...

Skippy's experience:  I'M NEVER LEAVING MY CAGE AGAIN!

Well Hello!

I've really missed blogging.  I have so many random thoughts but it's hard to make a whole post out of them.  But I'm going to try and be better about posting regularly.

Hope everyone is having a great 2014 so far.  It's almost March already, OMG!  Check back often for more updates!
