So I had a rule - no sleepovers. But then one of the three musketeers had a birthday and Sam wanted to spend the night. It was a tough call but I have known these people for years so I gave in. I dropped Sam off at 4p.m. they went to Fat Cats (a bowling/pizza place) and then returned and watched movies. Sam called me about 8:30 to confirm that he was having the time of his life. Kate (that is the birthday musketeer's mom) said he slept great and they had tons of fun. Well good for him because I couldn't sleep at all. Could this be the real reason I don't want Sam to spend the night at other people's houses? I don't get any sleep. I was worried that Sam would get scared or need to come home and I would not hear the phone. So I kept waking up and checking my cell to make sure no one called. No one did. Sam had a blast. But we do have a new rule you can't spend the night at people's houses unless I have known them for years. I don't want to set a precedent!
Can I also tell you that Sam is the best kid. I have been really trying to work out every day and I am terrible about getting up in the morning so right when we get home from work/school I pull out my turbojam video and work out. Sam sits there and plays DS while I work out. The cute thing is he will give me encouragement. "Good job mom" "You can do it" He pretty much just repeats what the instructor is saying but it is so cute! And honestly motivating. Now I just need to stop eating so much junk food and I think I will make a dent in this weight issue!

I am the same way about sleep overs, in fact my oldest didn't go to one until last year and it was some people that we new really well. We've made it only a "special occassion" in our house, and only if we know the family really good. I was afraid it would start something but it didn't and he understands.
The first time is the hardest and that's over now for you. The next time it won't be so bad. You go girl with the exercising!
it's funny how kids are so encouraging..I was doing the Wii fit today and Courtney was cheering me on too...it's funny though because when I say "Thanks Courtney" he responds with "I'm just reading the screen."
Yeah that whole sleepover thing I am just not sure of. Still haven't let my kids. The sad thing is I think I would let them if I wanted to go out of town without them, totally selfish, I know.
