OMG! What was I thinking?

Originally - about 3 weeks ago, this weekend was supposed to be a nice quiet weekend with one extra child - a girl child. That turned upside down somehow and now today is the sleepover - 10 14 year old boys. Am I totally crazy? Yup, I thought so. #1 Son is ready to game all night with his friends...

Mr. Bug is ready to get the party started! He's cooking. He's cleaning. He's moving TV's. He's up in the attic getting rugs down so the boys won't be sleeping on the hard floor. He's getting his shopping list together - pizza cheese, graham crackers (for smores during our campfire), pepperoni, soda, chips... It's a junk food - game playing - smore making extravaganza he's planning for these poor unsuspecting boys.

I think Mr. Bug is trying to psych me out. We have Scrabble marathon planned for this evening since our TV's have been allocated to the boys. He's actually thinking up words to use while he works. I can almost see his wheels turning. Do I sound paranoid? He thinks he's going to win... He's got another thing coming... I intend to kick some Mr. Bug butt tonight!

LLB and her dear friend are going to do girly things - like play in the creek, hang out and chat, and just be generally giggly young ladies. We have a DVD player set up in LLB's room for them. They can watch movies and do whatever it is you do during a sleepover - which we all know isn't sleep.

In between all these fun and games, I realized that I have a handbell clinic to run tomorrow at a neighboring church. I have to get some music together and get it marked. I have to get some gloves together. I have to basically get my rear in gear and plan this whole thing out in my head so that I don't look like a total idiot.

So much for a nice quiet weekend at home with one extra girl...
