Hour One. I'm still alive and so are all they.

[Midlodemocrat]

Can't promise the same an hour from now.

1. God truly loathes me. The rain stopped, which has allowed the kids to jump on the trampoline and then drag water, mud, mulch into the house that I just paid Brenda to clean.

2. One of the geniuses smashed a can of rootbeer on the patio and then proceeded to pour it on himself, thereby necessitating the need for hose use.

3. One of them wants to be 'first' for everyone. First piece of pizza, first to sign the picture frame, you get the idea.

4. I hooked my laptop up to my Bose so we could stream Sirius because BabyM was upset that we didn't have the right kind of music. As. If. Classic Rock is like champagne. Always appropriate.

5. Party started at 5:30. You know of course that parents dropped them off at 5:15 and won't pick them up until 9:00 a full half hour after it ends. Hell, that's what I'd do.

6. They're doing karaoke. Without a karaoke person.

Yeah, so send correspondence to Midlo c/o 'The Bin'. I'll get it.

[BeachBaby]

1. I'm whipping up some Bloody Marys.

Wish you could join me. :hug:

[rug]

2. Brenda?

[flvegan]

3. It'd be funny if nobody picked the kids up until midnight.

[redqueen]

8. No it wouldn't!

I had a parent leave their kid with me till 10:30... the party ended at 8:30. x(

[NewJeffCT]

9. holy shit

you're back!

welcome back.

[flvegan]

12. Thank you!

[tigereye]

26. this is good - I wasn't happy when I heard.

[jobycom]

19. It's not really him.

Go ahead, test him. Ask him his favorite steak, and he'll get it wrong.

[Midlodemocrat]

13. it would be funny if it were out of the realm of possibility. Since it's not?

Um. No.

May have to make another packie run.


Seriously, God hates me.

[flvegan]

16. God loves you. He's blessed you with 5 growing babies inside you.

Ahhhh...NOW I feel like I'm back.

[Midlodemocrat]

18. Notice I didn't change my sig?

:rofl:

:loveya:

[LaurenG]

15. Dood!

:hi:

[NewJeffCT]

4. I think it's all a plot by Brenda

to make you pay her again to come back tomorrow!

[TZ]

5. But just barely it sounds like

I'm betting your house smells of root beer tomorrow

[redqueen]

6. Hahaha...

see that's why I like having birthday parties *somewhere else*, anyplace where they pay other people to clean up after the riot.

Good luck! It's gonna be a looooong night.

[tigereye]

27. exactly - that's my policy - and I only have one kid!

[texanwitch]

7. Sounds like fun.

Typed from a nice quiet back yard with a nice cold beer nearby.

:hide: :spray:

I helped raise two teenage girls, know what it is like.

[malta blue]

10. I'm on my way!

:hug:

[Left Is Write]

11. Should I come over and bring reinforcements (i.e., more wine)?

[LostinVA]

14. Have you received the Harris Teeter delivery I ordered for you yet?

[Midlodemocrat]

17. If it's not alcohol? Not answering the doorbell.

can't risk it. One of the little fuckers was just messing with my laptop and the Bose.

Next thing you know, they'll be hijacking the MidloVan.

[texanwitch]

21. I am drinking a beer in your honor.

:spray: :beer:

[TZ]

22. I'm so reading the crime report for midlothian tomorrow

Are we gonna have noise complaints from the neighbors? It isn't a party if you don't ( speaking from experience)

[LostinVA]

24. Barefoot, weed, and earpugs

[REP]

20. Trade you all of them for Toki

Looks sweet, doesn't he? Don't be deceived. He's El Gate Del Diablo. For reals.

[arcadian]

23. Nice of you take in so many orphans

I'll get my church to do a fundraiser to see if we can't get you some slate and piece of chalk so you can start teaching them.

[tigereye]

25. poor Midlo - most kid parties I held here (before I learned to always have em

elsewhere) ended with me exhausted, sweaty and a beer in my hand on the front porch.

[Midlodemocrat]

28. TM just told me to hold off on the wine until after the all left.

Um, sure. It's either that or some serious hits of Vicodin.

Good. God.

Even TM said. "they're worse than they were when they were five" Really? Thank you Captain Obvious.

[tigereye]

29. ha!

How old are they? 9? 13?

[Midlodemocrat]

30. 12 and 13. Adorable age

If they're aren't here.
