After throwing all rational thought out the window, we threw a birthday slumber party. It was expensive, exhausting, and the best thing we've done since summer. One girl had not ever been invited to a peer birthday party. Several had not spent the night. One was so shy it was almost painful. I mediated a resolution to a miscommunication between two factions. I witnessed enough female behavior to write a dissertation; it could be titled Power Sharing Until the Queen Gets the Flu. I witnessed small glimpses of these girls' lives. The deceased mother, the dad kept me and remarried, the high pressure family, the so relaxed that I feel insecure... What are we? The mom works full time dad does not family? I know this, I'm grateful to live in a time and place that we can be ourselves and have the space to watch our children grow. Eight is going to be great!!!
