How I survived my 10 year old's slumber (or lack thereof) party

Barely.

I learned a few things last night.  They are as follows:

  1. I don't really like 10 year old girls.  I make an exception for my daughter, but some days she gets lumped into this group as well;
  2. Even in small numbers, there are few things -- jet engines, railroad crossings, banshee screams -- louder than 10 year old girls;
  3. No matter how hard you try, you cannot please them for more than 15 minutes at a time.  It has something to do with having the attention span of a really small dog, I believe.
  4. Few people actual read invitations.  Especially the parts about drop off times and pick up times.  Some think it's okay to come 30 minutes early and an hour late.  WWDAS?  What would Dear Abby Say?
  5. Finally, when it's all said and done, there is nothing better than sitting in the quiet of your house.
I'll post some pictures of the easiest cake I ever made on Monday as well as a couple from the party.  TTFN
