I must be some sort of glutton for punishment

In less than 36 hours, my living space will be infested by 5 pre-teen girls.

Yes, B. is having a sleepover for her birthday.

I KAN HAS EERPLUGZ NAO?

I dunno. I mean, these are generally good kids. But the more of them you get together, the more high pitched screeching and giggling you get. And it increases in geometric proportion per child added.

I have already told B. that her brother is off limits. They are to leave him alone.

I have already told F. that the girls are off limits. He is to leave them alone, especially since they will outnumber him 5-to-1. And, I have something for him if he complies.

I will be in the dining room. I will have the laptop, headphones, and several Nerf guns at the ready. I'm thinking the 10 shot automatics, the longshot, the firefly & one or two of the shotguns. From there, I can see all and dispense Rapid-Fire Hot Nerf Death (tm) on offenders.

Good. Bad. I'm the guy with the (Nerf) gun. hehe

Pizza for dinner. Waffles for breakfast. World of Warcraft for me. Pre-teen super-sappy schlock Disney creations for the girls (including, most likely, mousecat0). Maybe some Wii.

I think everyone's going to behave; not really worried about that. My greatest fear right now has less to do with the sleepover than with work tomorrow. I don't want to have a craptacular day and come home cranky. That will not be fun for anyone.

Hey, you're the one who's responsible for that second X chromosome getting through. That's all I'm sayin'...

Tee Hee!

I am reminded of a congraluations card I once gave to a new father: "Your daughter will bring you many wonderful years of happiness. (Open) Then she'll start dating."

At least you don't have to deal with that...yet.

I love the "firearms" you have prepped. The earplugs will be necessary IIRC from my youthful sleepovers.

Remember to give us a report of the (mis)adventures.

You have my sincerest sympathies. When Alyssa was in Kindergarten (she's now in 4th), I had the dubious honor of carpooling her and 3 of her friends on a 40 minute commute to summer enrichment camp.

40 minutes each way, listening to the Wiggles and 4 giggly girls...
"Brandon sat next to you. He LIKES YOU."
"EEEEEWWWW"
"So what? YOU like JASON!"
"EEEEEEWWWW"
"You want to KISS HIM!!!"
"EEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!"

Good times. And my twitch has almost gone away.

Gadzooks, you're a brave man and a very loving father!

I can always tell when the girls' PE class is doing something outside my classroom door - they have positively earsplitting screeches and squeals. *shudder*

I hope you have a wonderful (or at least tolerable) work day, for all your sakes. :)
