audie, how right you are. But...I was able to regain some of my sanity because I have been alone in the house since yesterday. No kids, only the dog. When I told Jenay last night, she got so jealous I think she got mad at me!

Pea, I want to tell you that I can relate since I get too caught up in school activities much of the time. but I have one kid compared to your 4 so I'll just be quiet.
(I was raised in a family of 4 kids, does that count? it was chaotic but wonderful at the same time).

That's exactly how it is most of the time--kind of a love/hate relationship, you might say...;-) I actually have not gotten really involved in school stuff prior to this year because I've always had a little one at home with me. This is the first year I have a couple of days when everyone is at school, so I've made an effort to do more. What was that I was saying earlier about a love/hate relationship...?
Thanks, Lynne! Tonight I'm feeling rather stressed; not rockin'!

OK, almost a week in, and today's the first day they almost made me cry. I can't decide if I've done a heckuva job or if I'm a wimp.
And, Miss Kitty, I unilaterally decided that 10 days and 4 kids trumps 3 weeks and 2 kids. I feel better now.
As you were.

Take my word for it regarding the replies: 'Alcohol, alcohol, alcohol'--there is nothing more disturbing to children than the morphing manner of someone as they drink alcohol.
In fact that advice has never actually worked--it might make for an 'easier' evening, but the next day..dealing with the same stuff is that much harder. I have several children and have tried it both ways. I realize the comments are light-hearted and intended to be fun more than anything. But bottom-line, kids and booze just don't mix. FRIENDS don't let friends DRINK AND EXPEDITE SLEEP-OVERS...HA!!
