Disney has done it to us all again. Their hit making and marketing machine is in full force creating a High School Musical fever that's hit every kid from age 6 - age 16! Are your kids affected?
For the entire month of August, Lauren has been counting down the days, hours, and minutes until the premiere of HSM2. And again, thanks to Disney, it was easier with it on the damn screen every day too!
To celebrate such an earth-shattering event, (and celebrate the end of summer), Lauren decided she wanted to host a movie premiere party on Friday night. Ugh. OK, I guess. The girl usually gets screwed come birthday time anyway (December), so this would be a nice thing to do.
Seven giggling nine year old girls is JUST the way I want to spend the last Friday night before the hecticness of the school year decends on our household. JB wanted to kill himself!
I TRIED to tap into Martha Stewart. I really did! I downloaded a photo (see above) to reproduce and print on t-shirts for the girls. Got the DVD game of High School Musical 1 and dusted off the karaoke machine with HS1 sing along CD. I went to FOUR STORES trying to find a poster finally making some poor manager of WalMart give me the one on display there--for 1/2 off too! I made pizzas and baked cookies.
Alas, Martha Stewart I will never be! The tshirts now sit by my desk unfinished. The DVD ran out (somehow?!) with literally 3 minutes left of the movie! And, I was so busy running around keeping kids fed and watered, I didn't take ONE picture!
And those damn girls were awake til 2:30-3am! They all came up at 2am declaring they were hungry! Oi vey!
Plus, mother nature has SUCH a sense of humor that she gave me my period the next day as a post-party-feeling-hung-over-from-being-up-so-late, gift! What a bitch!!!

Oh Linda, I had to laugh! For Courtney's birthday I took your approach to life and let her have 4 friends over for her birthday to SLEEP! Yep that's right. And yep I'm due about the same time too.
I had no idea about this until I heard it on the list. My kids never even mentioned it to me! LoL
ROFLMAO! Ok, I have to confess, I haven't been reading your blog on a regular basis. But damn, I have to start, especially after a bad day with my DS lovely "f"ing school district.
You need to be a comedian!
