Why are kids mean??

I had a horrible grade school flash back just a couple of hours ago. My daughter is so upset, 2 of hers friends told her they didn't want to be friends with her , then this evening to top it off one called her and told her she was a b**ch, she is heart broken. I am heart broken....
Why are kids so mean?? I have always tried to tell both the kids you don't have to like everyone but be kind, is being kind so hard?? I wasn't always kind when I was a kid either, I think that is why I try to make sure they are kind. Now I am not an idiot I know they aren't perfect and when away from me I have no idea how they act but at least we talk about things like this and I try to use them as learning tools.
SO she doesn't want to go to school tomorrow and I did the mom thing and said well you are going and you just act like it doesn't bother you and pray to tonight before you go to bed for God to give you strength, I fully believe He will, she knows it, and has a good relatonship with Him. (between me and you, I wanted to say okay you can stay home, remembering my horrible days)

CRAM IT!!!

THere are sometimes when parents behave like kids or even worse and you just want to tell them to cram it!!!!! Brenden is not the best player on his hockey, but he loves the sport and he really tries....and I have found out there is someone, a parent who wants him off so they can win more, now mind you this parent is just picking on my kid he is picking on others. GOOD GRIEf grow up. Luckily so far Brenden has no idea and his coach is handling it well, I suppose, I would have lost my mind by now if I was their coach. These kids could be a strong force if they learn to work together now and continue on in hockey.
I really hope Brenden never finds out, I hurt for him and I hurt for me.....and I secretly wanted to run over this persons foot in the parking lot the other day..................not really, I would nver do that, but is it very frustrating.

It's a heat Wave......

Wow, I haven't blogged in so long....it has been cold!!!! okay, I kow I moved to Alaska, but it's really not that bad here in Homer, but it has been really cold. When we were in Anochorage this past weekend it was -37 when we came out if the Aces hockey game...NOW THAT IS COLD!!! But it is warming up we are above zero and I think today it actually snowed or yesterday?? I can't remember.
Hockey is still going strong, Brenden loves it so much. Leia has start crosscountry skiing and has practice 3 days a week, so they are both busy.

Not much else to say........back to work.

Brace yourself

So just a quick note tonight. This weekend was busy for me, was supposed to work one day ended up working two.
Brenden had a hockey tournament in Anchorage, he went with good friends, who adopted him for the weekend, he had a blast.
Leia was sick, but feeling better now.
So, I realized I work over time....for braces and ice time. I can't wait until we pay off one of the vehicles!!! Although then there will be something else.

To Sara and Andra

So my one friends Sara is in Peru, she and her family of 4 became a family of 6 the other day. They are adopting a boy and girl. Sara and I met when we were 5!!! Our girls were in class together from preschool on until we moved to Alaska, she is such an awesome person....I miss her lots... she is the kind of person who would moon you if you were having a bad day just to make you feel better, and she taught Leia the fine art of making fart noises by inserting a straw in armpit and blowing...so you see why I love her!!
Andra, my other friend this blog is to is in China she and her family of 6 are missionaries in Hunchun (I have no idea if that is spelled right) I have known Andra since Leia was 5. Andra is an awesome woman too, her husband Jim always felt the calling to go into missions Andra got the calling in Wal-mart, when one of the kids were throwing a fit over some candy!! I miss her lots to.
I was just talking to Sara this morning in Peru, they will be there another 3 weeks, and I hope to talk to Andra at some point today.
I guess I am just having one of those "God, what do you want of me days?" I totally know it was His will for us to move here. We prayed about this, I am just looking at my friends lives and feeling like I should be doing more and I know that isn't right.
So Sara and Andra, I love you girls so very much and miss ya both like CRAZY!!! If we were together Sara, we could quote movies and drive Andra nuts, cuz she wouldn't know them!!

Dance

Leia has her first school dance this friday and I offered to champeron (or however it's spelled) she very quickly responded with a flat out "NO!". Now I know I am not like a "cool mom" I don't want to be her friend, but geez... I thought I'd be okay to go to the dance?? SO I asked why? Her response "I know how you are around music, mom. You'll dance, I'd die." She'd die?? The thought of me dancing would kill her?? Oh, well, I wouldn't want to kill her. So, I think I will call the school tomorrow and volunteer!!!

Edline

I think my blogging won't last long....nothing to exciting happens in my life and the stuff that is exciting well, I'd have to change the names and places and it would be so confusing (mostly for me) So I am still going to try, but not sure.
Tonight I am at work, I just want to say I love edline!! I got on edline tonight called home to find out what happened to one of Leia's assignments, why she hadn't turned it in...for those who don't know what edline line is it is a website where the teachers post grades, assignments, projects, losts of stuff going on at the school. But of the kids school are on edline. I was wondering if there was an edline when I was in school would I have been grounded more or less??? hmmmm????
Well I guess that is all for tonight.
