Grand Central Station

Nikki's friend Janet is going back to Korea (she was here to study for two years) this weekend, so she came to spend the night with Nikki. Tuesday wouldn't have been my choice for a sleepover, but we have plans every other night and I thought she was leaving on Friday. I guess it takes the pressure off of us since homework will provide the entertainment. :P So tonight, we are five.

Also tonight, the family of one of the girls from Nikki's Girl Scout troop (Kayla) was coming over to pick up a hamster. My nephew has decided to leave home and, since they don't allow hamsters in homeless shelters, my parents wanted the hamster to go to a home with kids who would play with her. Kayla's family arrived shortly after 6:00 to pick up the hamster. Then we were eight. Things got very loud.

About ten minutes after Kayla's family arrived, there was a knock at the door. Caleb looked at me, shocked. "MORE PEOPLE?!" Apparently.

It was Trina (neighbor), bringing down some fresh-baked banana muffins. Then we were nine. Things got louder.

Fifteen minutes later, everyone went home. And then there were five. Minus one hamster.

Does this happen at other people's houses, or just mine??

We went from three to ten in six minutes this morning. Of the ten, seven of them were under four feet tall and as everyone knows, shorter people are louder than your average angry bear. It was bedlam here for about 2 1/2 hours. When everyone left we realized that the alarm clock had been ringing in the bedroom for over an hour. Such is my life.

Thanks. I feel better. At least only one of our people was under four feet.
