For Halloween this year, Matthew wanted to have his friend Eric come over, spend the night, and they were going to play XBox and watch horror flicks. I said fine, and made plans to spend the evening hiding in my room upstairs, doing other things. Probably with headphones on.

Then last night, Matthew asks if Justin can join them. Sure, I said, what's another boy?

And this afternoon, just an hour or two ago, Matthew comes to me with his phone to his ear and says, "can Avery spend the night, too?"

And I said yes. *headdesk*

So, to recap: I will be having four teenage boys, ranging in age from 15 to 17, in my living room, hyped up on sugar and caffeine. All night.

Send help. Or booze.

I'd say give the booze to them, but then I remembered that's not such a good idea. :-/

Yeah, really not. It'll actually probably be okay. I'll just have to close my bedroom door--but thankfully it's not super cold (or hot) so it's no big deal.

I'm still gonna hide out in my room, though *g*

BE AFRAID. BE VERY AFRAID.

Do you have any idea what you're doing for NaNo yet? Not that it matters, because the answer is always "WRITING MOAR WORDS", but I'm curious. :D

Thank you :) Yes, I'm a glutton for punishment, obviously. Heh.

Thank you! Currently I'm rocking out to Blondie's "Call Me", and assorted other lovely songs that really, REALLY date me *g* With my door closed. I have no idea what's going on in the lower region of the house...and I'm very happy with that. *g*

I only have two. For which I am grateful. :D

My friend Mickey has taken to saying "Kim collects kids the way I collect cats". I'm starting to think she might be right *g*

LOL! Possibly! Also? I'm down to one. It IS a school night here, so no overnighter. \o/ That's not to say they weren't cranked, though. :D

Ahhh. We're out of school for the next two days. Tuesday's because of the elections; I'm not really sure why they're out tomorrow. And then they're off next Thursday, for Vet's Day... and off three days for Thanksgiving break.

I'm pretty sure I didn't get six days off from school when *I* was in. Geez.

I'll bet they were cranked. Yay for sugar? *g*

We don't even get election day off. We DO get Veteran's Day, then time at Thanksgiving, too.

M's never really been sugar sensitive, however, I think they were feeding off each other, which is worse.

You realise it's your fault, right? Because you're providing a cool environment where all the kids want to come to.

Last night I tried watching "Drag Me To Hell" - seriously, it was so bad (and not funny bad) I actually stopped watching it. If your idea of "scariest thing ever" is being constantly vomited on by an old gypsy woman, then, probably it would be scary. :(

I guess...I'd rather be the place they all want to come to, than not. Because this way I know who he's hanging with, what they're doing, what they're ingesting. Plus I know all their parents -- which seems to happen less and less these days.

Actually? Anything to do with vomiting scares me, no joke. I have a serious phobia about it. Poor Matthew--the few times he's thrown up he's had to clean up after himself, because I just couldn't. (Plus he cleans up after ME. *sigh* I suck at that aspect of parenting.)

When the l'il bro was about that age, he invited all of his friends over for the X-Games.

I fled the house.

Hiding out in my room is as close as I can get to fleeing--mostly because while it's nominal, I do like to be here to supervise. Such as it is. :)

you are a very brave woman.

or very foolish.

or both.

I think it's probably a combination of the two *g* But at least I know what Matthew's doing, where and who he's doing it with, and anything they ingest is stuff I've provided, so no surprises there, either. :)
