Hot Rod's first sleepover

I'm all bleary-eyed as I work on wrapping up a story that is due on Monday for one of my moonlighting jobs. Tonight is Hot Rod's first sleepover. It is at AoD's best buddy's house and Hot Rod was stoked about doing it. But, of course, mommy is worried about him needing me. What if he gets scared? His favorite blanket and penguin are in the car and I forgot to leave them there. What if he can't sleep?

What if, what if, what if ...

Is it mommy guilt or Catholic guilt getting the best of me? Or even worse, Catholic mommy guilt ...

AoD assures me that he'll be fine or his buddy would have called to let us know. They were going swimming and to eat pizza tonight. So, it couldn't get much better for the kid. Now, I just have to take a deep breath and let it go.

What happened to this sweet baby?
