I will have six teenage girls in my house tomorrow night. Maddy's having a sleepover. We went to WalMart this afternoon to get supplies, and tonight Maddy wanted me to bake cupcakes or a cake, but I've lost my motivation. I never had many slumber parties, as we called them back then, but I remember a couple of boy/girl parties. I only got one birthday party w/ my friends when I was 10. All other birthdays were celebrated w/ family members and maybe just one friend. I don't recall minding it that much, and I do recall several times that stand out in my memory. For one of my birthdays, my friend, Pam, spent the night. Bodysuits were popular back then so we took off our pants and pretended to be gymnasts doing somersaults across my double bed. With my friend, Brenda, we talked and talked, but after awhile I said we had to turn out the light b/c I was afraid it would cost my parents too much money to have the light burning. My friend, Deb, stayed w/ me one week while my parents went on vacation w/ some friends. My bedroom floor was lost under all the dirty clothes that piled up. Thinking back now that took a lot of trust for my parents and Deb's parents to allow two high school seniors to spend a week home alone. I'd like to think that I would have that kind of trust w/ my daughters. Doug wouldn't.
Mom probably would've baked those cupcakes, but I'm going to bed.
