<p>First thought this morning was,“I wonder how post prom went.” LOL, I see we thought of almost everything they tried. You and your husband did a great job and you have a gallon of rum for your next adult party. Sleep all day, you have earned it. I’m sure your son will clean up any mess, esp since he was one caught in the laundry room.</p>
<p>Wow - reading this just makes me thank my lucky stars that our high school puts on a very popular after-prom event at the school. My nerves couldn’t take it.
You’re doing a great job - and just remember that even with their stunts that they tried to get away with or even may have gotten away with - they are all safe and sound and that’s the most important thing.</p>
<p>Well, good morning everyone. Four whole hours of sleep. No one is stirring yet. H will go get breakfast soon. I will make a giant pot of coffee soon too.
Thanks for all your support. Hopefully they’ll sleep in this morning or be too tired to try anything else…</p>
<p>Do they give a Post-Prom Party Parent award at the People’s Choice awards? I nominate jym626 and jymH. I’ll call Ellen de Generes right now, so she can start preparing the award announcement.</p>
<p>Shoot, jym, I was just going to edit my post to start a pool on what time you’d wake up :p. Should have known you wouldn’t have missed the 9:00 am donut call :D.</p>
<p>hahaha jmmom!
We are having the “dunkin donuts vs krispy creme” conversation as I type. Dunkin donuts is closer, so it wins. I never bothered to mention tht on top of everything, I broke a tooth (well, more accurately a filling fell out) so I will be limited i what I eat.</p>
<p>Enjoyed the evening activities 
especially after going through the same 2 years in a row as host,
MUCH more fun watching your party from afar. </p>
<p>Two things I’m curious about JYM (after you have a couple cups of coffee)
- Did you surprise the kids by offering to take the “bags” back to your house- or are these kids “real” amateurs, or ummmmm 'not too bright ;)</p>
<p>2) The Curious Incident in the Night- with the S in Laundry Room?
Perhaps doing a load of laundry because one of the guests may have been a bit sick? What’s up in the laundry room? </p>
<p>M,m,m,m,m do I smell egg, cheese, bagel sandwiches cooking 
Glad everyone survived and you’re still talking to your son. You are, right ?</p>
<p>You POOR DEAR! What a night! :eek: I hope you get a long nap and a day off from work tomorrow to recuperate! ;)</p>
<p>I think I have made it through my son’s HS career without having to do one of these all nighters. On my son’s BD a few years ago, he had his friends (4 or 5 boys) over for a “sleepover” and they decided to stay up all night. I checked on them a few times, but finally fell asleep. His best friend’s mom was livid the next day because I hadn’t made them go to sleep. I still don’t get what the big deal was–they were quietly talking, playing computer games, etc. If that’s the worst thing they do in their teenage years, we’re pretty lucky.</p>
<p>We have a winter storm coming so might not make it out for college visits tomorrow. Yesterday, we tried to move our flights up to today, but they said it would cost $1700 extra. Later in the day, they decided that they wouldn’t charge extra, but then all the flights were full!</p>
<p>hahahahahaha…“could you come back later?”…hahahahah</p>
<p>I would have died!</p>
<p>Congrats JYM…If you survived the laundry room incident, you can survive anything. At lease you know you raised a son who remains polite in all situations…LOL.</p>
<p>So. Jersey chessmom-
The weather was terrible yesterday and it was just easier to offer (kinda last minute) to let all the kids throw their bags (that they had in their cars parked at the “pre prom picture party”) in our car and bring it back here. In fact. We also brought back sonmeones car (just each drove a car back). </p>
<p>The laundry room did *not involve cleaning anything up, although I guess it depends on your definition. My s has to clean his act up, thats for sure!! Since we confiscated all (I think) the alcohol, no one got sick, to my knowledge.</p>
<p>And sax-- I did about die!! What a line. At least he was polite, as momfirst said . He was really embarassed. :D</p>
<p>Al lot of the kids have been walking by me typing here (this computer station is out in the open). And my s knows I am on cc allt he time. I wonder if any of them will get on and read this?? :D</p>
<p>OMG - Can you imagine ! Your son would probably die of embarrassment. Well, that would be payback for making you work so hard LOL
All’s well that ends well. You survived!</p>
<p>Oh my, jym626, you’ve had quite a night! And you’ve given me lots of “drink for thought” as to what I will face again in a couple of years or so. Will have to make a master list of alcohol hiding places. I hope that the other parents are grateful that you’ve kept their little darlings safe and sound, and I hope the kids have had a good time without the necessity to get stinkin’ drunk. Kudos to you and jym626H.</p>
<p>I want to personally thank everyone who posted here, and I apologize if I have inadvertently omitted responding to a few (I missed MKM56, churchmusicmom, cmbmom, PAmom, springfieldmom and I am sure a lot others). Aggain- I apologize, but please know I appreciate all your thoughts, comments and support! And I also apologize for all my typos- I can’t type well even when I have had sleep!</p>
<p>*update-- S’s date’s dad jsut picked her up-- I didn’t say a WORD about the contraband we confiscated or the laundry room incident-- why on earth would I??? I told him they were great and all had a lot of fun.</p>
<p>Bravo!! All these parents had better be eternally grateful to you. We do want the scoop on the laundry room incident ;)</p>
<p>Agree–some things are best left unsaid ;). Have a nice nap!</p>
<p>choco-
see post # 114 for the first “discovery” of the laundry room, and #132 for follow-up. I think if I posted any more my s would KILL me!</p>
<p>Oh, and DH had to go to a meeting this morning (he left at 10ish) so I have to stay awake till the last ones leave. I think there is one girl left-- the rest are guys-- playing foosball, pingpong and video games. That I can handle…</p>
