In a matter of hours, my little guy will be having his first friend over. This is his best friend. We're talking, my son would be considered a stalker if he were my age- that's how much he likes this friend. (Makes me wonder about his future love life!) He has been to this other boy's house once, and while it went alright, I knew that I would then have to reciprocate. Cuz that's only fair. Only I'm terrified!! We have only officially had one other child over for a playdate before. The neighbor girls that KG plays with, came over to play in the kiddie pool for a couple of hours, but that wasn't a big deal (and their mom was basically right there on the other side of the fence the whole time). KG had a girl over from school- her BFF. I was nervous about it, but only the girl came over- not her mom. The only adults I've ever had over (not including family) would be the bug guy, cable guy, contractors, people from the county (for little guy). THAT'S IT. So today I'm entering new territory. This boy and his mom (and little brother) are coming over. Following us home from school. I don't think I've ever cleaned so much in my life. I literally ache everywhere. I feel like I need to keep cleaning, but I know that would be insane. (After I finish with my coffee, I'm off to do a few touch-ups here and there). The dog is at "Doggy Day Care" at Pet Smart, and the cats ... oh shoot, I gotta trim Magick's claws. She's a loving cat, but her claws.. UGH. I'm worried about entertaining people. I'm worried about my house being a mess. I'm worried about my son deciding he doesn't want to share his toys. I feel silly, but yet anxious at the same time.

Some of you don't believe that I'm a shy person. Let me tell you.. I wrote this boy's mother an email to invite her/them over. It sat in my "draft" folder for over 12 hours before I had the nerve to send it. I see this person 4 days a week, give or take.. and I'm in a complete panic here. This is insane!! ACK!!!!
