Whew!

We survived S's party! Ten little 6 year old girl showed up. It was absolute madness, but definitely entertaining. I wish my camcorder was working because I would have loved to share with all of you the giddy excitement that each of them expressed when she opened EVERY SINGLE present. It was nothing like I had ever seen or heard before. Girls, if you thought that we were ditzy back in our day, watch out. These girls of the future are nuts! A brother to one of the little girls was over for food and presents (he and H were going to stay the night at his house), I wish you could have seen the expressions on these boys faces when the girls were acting like this. My dad actually got up and went to sit on the front porch. M was making fun of them in this stupid airheaded tone, and the sad part is that they thought he was serious. D was just looking around like WTF, and H and Caleb just stood there gaping at what they thought had been taken over by aliens or something. I mean, I just cannot find the words to explain this. I personally loved it and thought it was the funniest thing that I had ever seen.

I thought that I was getting lucky around 8:30PM that night. By getting lucky, I mean the girls had finally settled down in the living room to watch a movie. I figured it would be the perfect time to catch up on my second season of Desperate Housewives before the third season premiered on Sunday. Well, that didn't last long. Boy, did we know when the movie ended. All the shrieking and excitement started all over again. Only this time I found myself walking into S's room with what looked like 10 midget hookers. OMG!! They had gotten into the makeup. And I don't mean this cheap play stuff that they have for little girls. I mean that they got into MY makeup. And I will be the first to admit that I don't bargain shop for my makeup. And might I mention that they were not just trying to apply it to look nice, they were COLORING their faces with it! Yes, coloring their FACES. I would not be the least bit surprised to see them with breakouts today. Lord help me. I told them to all go into the bathroom and wash it off before they got it all over their clothes and bedding. I told them that their mommies would not appreciate having to spend all day trying to scrub all of that off. Well, that does the trick for future reference. Always threaten with the mommies... which by the way, I had permission to do. Speaking of mommies, they all needed to call theirs before bed. Wow, that's crazy. You think that they had not spoken with them in a year. But whatever settles everyone down and makes them feel comfortable... I am all for it. I like it when S calls me. Actually H calls me a lot more than S does. He is always wanting to feel me in on what he did that day. Sometimes he even calls to tell about the trouble he got in that way I have time to calm down and think about it before I get home. My son is a wise young man!

Me, M, and S all got extremely sick yesterday. It's this sinus/allergy stuff and it has turned into a respiratory thing, I think. I burns to cough, to breathe, etc. The only thing that works for me is Tylenol Flu, but I cannot take that at work because it makes me go right to sleep. So, unfortunately I am going to have to try to make it until 5:30 today. I feel like crap already. I cannot breathe and I have the worst headache ever.

I need to get some new pictures put up on my post. I only get on here when I am at work, and all of my latest pictures are on my computer at home. I will try to get some on here, maybe tonight.

Take care!
