Reflecting back on my dear daughters first sleepover I am thrilled with how the whole par-taaay went. The girls feasted on friendship and giggled themselves into a blissed out state of euphoria.
“People who have this much fun should be sent to jail Mom!!” My BlueEyed girl yelled at me over her frozen mocktail. Tears of laughter streaming down her face.
Yep, I did my job, memories were made that evening that will last us both a lifetime.
However, there were some gifts from this “party of the year” that this sleepover virgin did not expect.
Left behind from the sleepover extravaganza were piles of triple brownie chocolate fudge cake, mountains of chips and copious amount of teeth rotting candy. When dawn breaks, I quickly discover lack of sleep leaves a girl with no self control. My thighs do not thank you sleepover.
Weeping crying children~my nerves no longer appreciate your subtle charm. Clearly you need your solid eight hours as much as I need my solid errr chopped up seven hours of sack time.
The biggest surprise of all. A raging case of head lice. *shiver and eeek!! This gift courtesy of BlueEyed girls best friend?
Good thing I love your BFF so very much, cause honey, those creepy crawlies are a pretty big price to pay. Even for “the best party ever!”
Yes my dear sleepover, clearly, you are the gift that just keeps on giving. Wonder when we can have another one?
Mwah!
Your blog is so informative and clever. Can’t wait to try most of your recent posts. I intend to stop by again!
Our blogs are semi-similar; I’d love your feedback about mine, if you have a sec!

GIRL I feel your pain on the head lice!!! UGGH! My DD is 9 and has (had) LONG THICK CURLY HAIR. She got head lice this year from school. She got it after Thanksgiving break. We are just now getting rid of it totally!!! I cut her hair and we used LICEMD this last time.. it’s so much better than the other stuff RID I used. I hope, pray, beg they are finally gone. Once I found her head infested the 2nd time I cried, she cried MAN That was a bad day! Luckily I didn’t get it but thinking about it makes my head itch… GRRR HEAD LICE. DD and I discussed who brought THEM on the ARC ugggg LOL
Good Luck I hope you got rid of them totally..
FYI Olive oil will kill the bugs but not the eggs ect…

OMG! Lice—I am so sorry. We haven’t had them yet, but I’m sure it’ll be our turn soon. We’re only 4, so we have plenty of time to make these new fabulous friends. Oy!
Head lice, blech!!
Triple chocolate cake, YUMMERS!
No sleep = crankiness and I am OVER It!!
EEEKK!!! oh no!!
I dont’ know about you, but that would be the first and LAST sleepover!
Lice at a sleepover? I think I’d rather give out treat bags.
Oh God, lice!!! Poor you guys!!!! OMG… dreadful… But hey… the girls did have fun, right? 😉 Good luck…
oh my!
head lice…
whoooooosh!!!
Wow…your first sounds about as lovely as mine last weekend.
Now my daugter has confided in me that is how she wants to have all her parties from now on.
Ohhh, that sounds like fun (despite the lice and the sweets). Sounds like you threw a great party!!
Now you’ve got me thinking about having a grown-up girl sleepover!
