    The sleepover -- midway point
    I think I have 4 sleeping 8 year olds in the other room (well, one is 5 days shy of 8, and the other is 2 weeks, 5 days shy of 8). It is midnight. If they fell asleep, it was in the past 10 minutes. But it may not have happened.

    They squealed a lot. We played charades. We listened to 50's rock and roll music. we ate much cake and pizza. we watched cartoons. i wondered if i would have to call a mom. then things got patched up. then i again wondered if i would ahve to call a mom. then things again got patched up.

    somewhere in the middle - they tricked me. i went to check on them, and i thought i saw three sleeping bodies, and the one precarious one awake and looking at me. i kneeled down to talk to her, see if she was okay, offer to call her mom. she didn't want any of those. so i insisted on providing her with a glass of water - since all she was responding with was big eyes. i returned, and MY DAUGHTER rolls over (from a really DEAD ASLEEP position) and says "we're all awake, we were faking, and i'm thirsty!!!" and i said "no!! ____ is asleep!! be quiet!!" My daughter shakes her friend (rather forcefully) in order to show me that no, _____ is awake. And I said, "no!! she's asleep!! and she need to sleep, and if she's just faking, then she deserves an award, b/c she is the queen!!" and ____ then yanked her thumb out of her mouth, broke into a huge smile, popped up onto her knees, and danced .... singing "i am the queen, i am the queen!!" then they were ALL thirsty.

    i eventually, in order to get them to sleep, had to start with the threats. i was threatening to let them sleep until 9 a.m. (someone's getting picked up at 9:30) - thereby ridding them of any opportunity to do the planned projects and eat the planned french toast feast.

    oh yeah, i handed in my corporations exam today. and cleaned out my locker. and picked up my suits. yea me for the productivity.
