Three things that make me feel queasy
- From antiangie on Twitter: "I'm not sure what you should do with this, just telling you it exists."
- Jerry O'Connell is writing a memoir about parenthood. Its title: Cry, Feed, (Make Love to Wife), Burp. I for one can't wait to hear still more about how much he likes having sex with Rebecca Romijn.
- Number of Charlie's friends attending our party: One (1).

I'm happy for the babies, as it's good to see preemies looking happy and chunky and sans O2 and such. But, OMG, MY EYES at the pregnant nun costume. NIGHTMARES. And where are her other kids, me wonders? Shoved aside in the name of the babies who actually took her from being a non-famous baby collector to a famous one? But me, bitchy? Not at all. I just think of all the infertiles who would be negatively affected by any panic-decisions made by docs over this lady who would give their soul for just one of the fourteen.
And Charlie, thankfully, is young enough that hopefully the low turnout won't bug him too badly. Hope the party was super-awesome and the kids had a blast!
Also, I'm still on Team Stamos, but I loves me some John Stamos.

Sounds like you've got to mommy network. I'd work it for several months, then invite the kids through the moms personally, then after 5 yesses or more, tell your kid you are having a Valentine's day party and are inviting so and so (whomever said yes). This is all about you socializing. Sorry, that's the game.

Hope your party turned out better than the Maine election.

1) What's up with these parents putting invitations in SOME school mailboxes but not all? That's just plain rude and they should know better. I can't imagine the school condones that behavior. Unless it's possible that they were for another classroom, not C's class?
2) Given 2 other parties, plus neighborhood festivities, I wouldn't feel slighted about the lack of attendance. People do make plans in advance and have traditions around Halloween.
3) 1 friend will be thrilling for him and less work for you too.
4) Re other commenters who have had parents not RSVP to parties: I have started calling or emailing non-responders the week before, not because I really am wondering if they will attend, but because I hope by doing so they will realize that RSVP'ing is not optional! If it makes them uncomforatble, so be it. It's my personal quest for a more civilized society.

Pregnant mom in a nun's suit? Now I can imagine people raising eyebrows. Cute 8 babies. I like planning a party ahead of time. What I don't like are late RSVPs.
