Am I a bad mommy for really, really hating sleepovers?

No. You are a sane, rational person.

Thanks guys. Thing is, too, these are good kids and it's only two of them, bringing the total up to four. It's just they're being loud, the way that kids between the ages of eight and twelve can be.

Thankfully, I limit the sleepovers in both occasion and number. I don't know how people do sleepovers with six or more kids.

We are watching L&O repeats and the one on now totally has Lionel Hutz as the defense attorney. High-larious!

"replace 'dog' with 'son' and 'accidentally' with 'repeatedly'"

The winner on Cute Overload for "Do something with this prairie dog" contest:

Another Prairie Dog Bites the Dust

Not being aware of the contest, I had more than a few moments of "WTF?"

Home alone on a Saturday night, watching DVDs.

"Smart people on ice!"

My grandmother did not send me a birthday card. Sam Baker is wrong...they don't all live for that shit.

Back from the game.

The Marching Chiefs looked really good and they changed the opening so that the Chiefs stand on either side of where the team comes out to make their entrance.

And they played an 80s selection at half time of Pat Benatar, Madness, Kenny Loggins, and the song Boys of Summer.

There was an annoying chick and the chick behind her who were at the game with a group and WOULD NOT sit down for anything, causing the season ticket holding couple behind them to leave at half time.

Which wasn't so much of a loss for them really.

Seriously it was bad. Fumbles, interceptions, Dad even joked at the end "I'm only staying for one more interecption" a few plays later there was so we left with about 2 minutes left on the clock.

We didn't even listen to the post game show. Coach Bowden has been amazing, he's done a lot in 33 years as head coach but...FSU can't win against a division opponent. The first two wins were against soft teams that had no hope against us.

And it was the same freaking thing-- run a play, it doesn't work, run it again, it doesn't work, run it again. Last season FSU would at least end up punting. This time the pattern of running the same play was broken by fumbles or interceptions. And then on the next posssesion the same thing.

There needs to be a big shake up.

I can't even BELIEVE I'm saying this but maybe the best thing (in the long run) for FSU is to have a losing season. A bad losing season.

My sister had a sleepover party for her tenth birthday. One of her friends got up in the middle of the night and tripped and hit her head on this half-wall thing, and had to go to the hospital for stitches. Two years later, at her bat mitzvah, my sister accidentally hit this same friend on the head with a stick while trying to swing at the pinata, and the friend again had to go to the hospital for stitches.

Wow, Hil, that's quite an awful coincidence! Did they stay friends...?

Paging Sox! I saw this blog entry on sfgate.com and thought of you!
