| | Sleep Over Season |
|
| | Sleeping bag zippers. Late night ghost stories. The microwave popping yet another bag of corn.
It can only mean one thing, parents.
It’s Sleep-Over Season.
It may not be the busiest time of year, but it certainly can be the most crowded. School has been out for a little over a month now and we’ve had so many overnight guests we rival a Motel 6 on I-75. Behind my son’s bedroom door next to his Taylor Swift poster is a sign with standard occupancy rates.
It is amazing how sleepovers have become such a rite of passage in childhood. At thirteen, our oldest son is an expert in the field; often adding the double-black diamond obstacles of multiple friends and attempting back-to-back nights. With a single text his guest list grows like a wedding reception, and the negotiations he conducts with friend combinations and movie selections are truly U.N. material.
I remember my childhood sleepovers as similar nights o’ fun. What was reserved for an occasional weekend during the school year became extended stay vacations throughout the summer. My friends and I would listen to the latest cassette on our boom boxes and if the parents fell asleep early we’d manage to watch some saucy late-night British programming on the local UHF station.
And so I try to keep in mind as I trip over sleeping bag mummies and choose Movies on Demand sans saucy British humor (after all, not every experience has to be replicated exactly), that sleepovers are a magical time for children. And as a mother, I end up preparing for them in much the same way as I do the holiday season: make up a lot of extra beds for overnight guests and stock up on plenty of fun food and drink.
And like Christmas Eve, then spend a sleepless night listening to kids giggle in the next room and hope there’s not too much to put back together in the morning.

 | I know what you mean! Sleepovers created a lot of great childhood memories! But, I sometimes have to set a 3 or 4 night sleepover hiatus just to catch up on my own sleep!!

Posted by Anonymous, 05/28/13, 08:25am | | According to Reuters, a study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research in 2011 found that "The more aggressively a bank lobbied before the financial crisis, the worse its loans performed during the economic downturn -- and the more bailout dollars it received". Now, despite its former status as the basket case of Wall Street, Citigroup and its hired guns are welcome on Capitol Hill, weighing in on and even drafting bills -- like one the House committee signed off on earlier this month, exempting several classes of derivatives from a rule intended to prevent government insurance from backstopping risky trades.I won't dispute for one second the problems of a system that demands immense amount of fund-raisers by its legislators," said Representative Jim Himes, a third-term Democrat of Connecticut, who supported the recent industry-backed bills and leads the party's fund-raising efforts in the House. A member of the Financial Services Committee and a former banker at Goldman Sachs, he is one of the top recipients of Wall Street donations.

Posted by Anonymous, 05/28/13, 11:48am | | While visiting family and friends in Amman, Jordan last week after being away for over two years, I was constantly being asked about my observations on Amman, and whether it had changed since I was last there in October 2010.During the first couple of days, I would usually respond saying I noticed more traffic, and new construction here and there. A few days into my visit, things got clearer (I'm blaming the jetlag for my delayed observation). I noticed a change, a big one. Somehow, politically-divided Ammanites were united on one issue: Syrians.Last time I visited Jordan, the annoying term the "Arab Spring" was not even coined. So, fast forward two years, I would have expected to see change along these lines, but what I saw instead was not youth marching in the streets asking for reform (to the dismay of many D.C. think tanks), but rather Jordanian citizens who are increasingly becoming concerned about the influx of refugees from their war-ravaged next door neighbor.Citigroup was the megabank that received the most taxpayer assistance during the financial crisis, a fact perhaps related to the very same lobbying practices now being used to rein in regulation michael kors outlet
