15 teenages (15 & 16 year olds) are going to overrun my house in 5 hours!

[AmandaRuth]

My darling daughter is 16 today, so we are gonna have a partay, starting here in my now calm unchaotic home, and then proceeding down to the "Haunted Woods/Corn Maze at 8.

Pray for me.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

3. !

[AmandaRuth]

7. actually she is getting a

1985 bitchin camero!

My husband bought it when she was born, and we have been slowing restoring it. It's basically done now. I keep putting off calling the insurance company to see how much the insurance will be.

12. Interesting choice

You still didn't say what color it is.

[AmandaRuth]

14. it is silver

The only reason we got it was the opportunity presented itself the same year she was born. She does know all the words to the song.

2. When they're all gone

you have my permission to have as many martinis as you want!

You're a great mom! And happy b'day to MMR.

[AmandaRuth]

6. thanks!

Everything is all mixed up and ready to go the moment the last parent picks up the last kid!

I keep freaking out and finding something else to clean around here, and my daughter just looked at me so exasperated "Mom, my friends are going to notice that stuff!" Truly, they are great kids, and progressive too!

4. Batten the hatches and charge the tasers!

Teenagers!


I do NOT envy you today!

[AmandaRuth]

8. they will be tazed if they get near

my record collection!

[HEyHEY]

5. Are you a "hip" mom? Did you buy them booze and smokes?

[AmandaRuth]

9. not this year

but all in good time!

I kid, I kid!

10. Did the MTV camera crew show up yet?

Who's the surprise guest vocalist?

Tell me, Maserati or Aston Martin?

[AmandaRuth]

15. it has been a good opportunity to teach her about party music

She has been making CDs all morning to play - heavy on the Arctic Monkeys, Ladytron and Green Day, her favs.

[Mr. Blonde]

19. Is Daft Punk Playing At Your House?

Not actually Daft Punk and a lot sweeter in my book.

[DarkTirade]

11. Good luck...

I remember my little sister's fifteenth birthday party... that was crazy.

Also one of her friends was totally checking me out, which, while flattering, was a bit creepy since I was 24 at the time...

Her 16th wasn't as bad because it had a whole theme thing going on so it wasn't just teenage girls running around randomly. It was organized chaos, as opposed to pure chaos.

[Deja Q]

13. If they start making balloon animals like giraffes, check to see what brand balloons they are using.

If they're using Durex, I'd bring in the chaperons real quick.

[Whoa_Nelly]

16. Woo Hoo! Party!!!!!!!

Happiest of birthdays, MiniMandaRuth!



Take LOTS of pics!!!

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. Take two aspirin a half hour before the party. I always do that and I come through it ok. :^)

Mind you, my parties feature munchkins, not teens.

[AmandaRuth]

18. harhar. I love my cake.

All your birthdays are belong to us.
