Ugh..  these boys WILL NOT settle down and go to sleep...  I can see arranging a sleepover for 8 ten year old boys was a MISTAKE..  It's midnight and they won't stop wrestling and settle down to watch a movie.. 

Ugh..  I'm ready to tie all of them up and put them in a closet...  I guess I have to turn in my mother of the year award...



How many times did I tell you it was NOT a good idea to host a Presidential debate!

Girls are not much better.  When mine were that age, there was an awful lot of giggling and laughing, but not much in the way of sleeping.  They really shouldn't be called "sleepovers".  They should be called "stay up all night overs".

Just be careful with the benadryl.  Some kids get a paradoxical reaction.  Daughter #1 once stayed up for 72 hours straight when she got benadryl.  Nothing like a 3 year old with chicken pox who has not slept in 72 hours to make you really appreciate going back to work as a resident whose call schedule meant only being up for 36 hours in a row!

I really was just kidding with the benadryl thing..  I only did that a half dozen times and they were ALL when I was flying with my son and he was 3 or under.. 

Two kids are STILL up..  Mine is asleep and I could never give medicine to a child that isn't my own.. 

Yeah..  Girls can be bad too in their own way..  I remember driving my dad NUTS on a three day camping trip with my friends Nicana, Lara (another Lara.. not me) and Andrea...  My dad is the MOST tolerant person in the world and he was ready to snap..  But we had a TON of fun

i have 2 girls. neither sleep.  the 6 month old has been up sinve 430, went to bed at 9, woke up 5 times last night and napped for maybe 1/2 hr yesterday.  havent slept in 5 years.  but i get lots of time to read coj and earn pretty stars

I assumed you were joking, but I also know the temptation that it is.  I ran a girl scout troop one year for my wife.  I realized I could never be a teacher.  I like having a job were I am SUPPOSED to medicate kids...

I think I got two hours of sleep..  4 kids have been picked up for football and soccer..  3 plus mine remain..  I think one might spend the night again tonight but this time they had BETTER sleep!


Sounds like they all had fun anyway. Maybe you're the cool mom and all the friends will want to stay at your house for all the sleepovers.
I got kicked out of a sleepover party when i was 9. I didn't like the girl but my mom made me go so at some point I decided to pour all the chip dip down her nightgown. Problem solved - I got to leave.

OMG..  I can't imagine making my kid go to a party he doesn't want to go to..   HA HA HA HA..  I'm grinning from eat to ear picturing some hideous girl with chip dip poured down her nightgown  



Im sure my parents had farmed out my little brother for the night and were looking forward to a night of PIZZA! (eewwww - can't think about that)
hmmm. gonna see her soon at HS 20 yr. reunion. will have to ask if she remembers the sour cream and onion oozing down her not yet existant boobs.

My 5-year-old has just arrived at his first official sleepover.  I pray they sleep.  It's only him and another boy and the little brother.  My 3-yr old is at grandma's.  Oh my, that leaves me home alone with my husband.  I hope it works and we don't get any midnight phone calls to pick them up.

Boys are loud and physical, though, I totally agree with that.  But they are fun and cute and sweet sometimes, which I love.  Hope you get some rest tonight!!  You are a brave lady for hosting such a large crew!!!

I am going to have a lot of pizza tonight and most likely for breakfast, too.  It's been an amazing day off for me today, and we get a fun night out (and in) as well.  Yay!  Details in my log if you are bored and wondering what Leslie's been up to on her kid-free day.
