First Slumber Party

Well, I can't believe I'm admitting this, but I had a *really* hard time getting to sleep last night after I dropped off Violet for her first slumber party. Apparently all went well, although she turned into a raving lunatic upon arriving home and had to take a 3-hour nap (that's normal, right?) But what I want to know is, if I was this nervous for a slumber party 5 minutes away, how am I gonna handle teenager-hood???? Yikes, people!!! I can only continue to believe that karma doesn't behave in the popular sense of karma. That is, I must hold out hope that one's own actions don't literally come back to bite one in the ass in the literal 1:1 correspondence, or I'm in for it. I mean, really, if I am seeming vague here, it's because people might actually read this, and it's not really the forum for that kind of self-incrimination, now is it? At any rate, thankfully, I am getting WAY ahead of myself here. I am just happy that my beautifuls are both snug in their little beds, right where I want them, right where I can sneak in to watch them breathe and pull the covers up around them. Sigh.
