Two Days with Six Tenage Girls

Today is my daughters 15th birthday, so to celebrate my sister and I decided to take her with five of her closest friends to the Poconos for the weekend. I thought it would be a bit chaotic, a little bit of attitude, maybe even some bickering but it turned out to be the total opposite. There was no chaos, no attitude and no bickering at all. It was an enjoyable, drama free and thankfully uneventful weekend with six teen aged girls. I on the other hand am feeling a little bit guilty. I let the girls eat a lot of cake and ice cream, chips, cookies, and Philly Cheese Steak and not one vegetable was to be seen for the entire weekend. I somehow convinced myself that the fried peppers and onions on the Philly Cheese Steak and the onions and peppers in the eggs counted as servings of veggies. Oh wait, what about the ketchup that some of them put on their macaroni and cheese? Does that count? Well, I've also managed to convince myself that it was only for a weekend, it was barely 48 hours, and in those barely 48 hours my daughter was happy spending time away with her girlfriends and I was happy watching her be happy. I can only hope that when she grows up she doesn't forget the joy of spending time with her favorite girlfriends.
Oh, and if you were wondering, yes I did work out in the gym at the resort. I worked out in their old, tattered, hardly maintained gym.
