I Survived

And there was virtually no drama. I kept the girls busy with activities so that they wouldn't have too much time to fight. Even the dueling BFF's seemed to get along well, and both were the last to leave--by a lot. (When the invitation says til 10:00 am I do not want your kids still here at 11:00 am.)

I think the BFF mom who called sort of fosters the drama. I would love to make friends with my kids' friends' moms, but I swear, they are all freakin' nuts. First there was PsychoMom , then another friend's mom who always seems half asleep. Her kid will call and invite herself over and then stay for hours and hours before her mom calls her home. I think the mom is possibly suffering from depression--or some kind of soccer-mom drug addiction. When she's awake and coherent, she's very nice.

And now the new BFF's mom (the one who started the drama yesterday) who is pushing very hard for our daughters to be BFFs and calls me almost every single day. She is very pushy and I find myself constantly having to draw lines--like when she heard I was planning PSs party, it was, "Oh, you must go here and buy this, and I have this you can use, and you have to do this, and what is your theme?" WTF? I don't have a theme--I thought that was a little kid thing. And the first time she was over to drop of her daughter she gave herself a tour of our home, giving me decorating advice all along the way. She is nice enough, besides the pushy thing (and the drama thing, and the her kids are very spoiled and seem to never hear the "no" word thing.)-it is just tiring having a conversation because I am forever having to sidestep all of her suggestions.
