Teenage girls

I forgot how vicious teenage girls can be. Beth has had some really good friends this year just stop being her friend for no reason and they are so mean about it. It breaks my heart for her. She does alot to help them out. and one in particular we as a family have helped out alot. But when Beth called her out and said she didn't want her to come over just to go see one of her other friends. Now all of a sudden Beth is bossy.
I have had Beth crying since 7 last night. My heart breaks for her. But now I remeber why I was not friends with girls when I was in school. Teenage girls can be so mean. I am at a loss over how to help her get through all of this. Last night she asked me if we could just move somewhere else cause she feels as though she has no friends here now. I wish it was that easy. But I don't want her to learn to run from her problems.
we hope that this year since both of those girls are going to a different high school things will be different. Plus Beth will spend half of her day at CAVIT so hopefully that will also help. Beth is usually really good at making new friends. So hopefully this will be a better year for her.

Update on Bethany

We finally got the infection and rash cleared up on Bethany's leg! So much stress relieved. That and we don't have to go to the dr 2 times a week! Which is also a good thing because her ankle dr is about an hour away. Next dr appointment July 2nd and her cast will be finally removed on the 9th of July! this surgery was so much harder then the one she had in 2012. But we are in the home stretch. So happy to be almost done with this.

Surgery

Beth's surgury went great. We are home and she is resting. Gonna be a few long weeks of her on bed rest but it is so worth it.

The boys promotions went great. I am so proud of both of them.
I now have 3 kids in high school!

Katie made the all-star cheer team. The highest of 3 teams! Can't wait for this season to start!

Dougie says he is a big boy now and he isn't my baby.

I feel like they are all growing so fast. Trying to hold on to every little moment but before I know it they will be gone!

Where has the time gone

I am having a really hard time right now.. Since cheer is over for the season I have actually had time to sit and think. So not a good thing! It is depressing. In one week more than half of my kids will be in high school.
Beth kinda does her own thing. I am so sad thinking about in 2 years she will be leaving me and becoming an adult.
The older boys are soon to be started on their high school journey. Sometimes I worry cause they have no close friends to hang out with.
Katie is so busy all the time that it all just seems to fly by. My baby girl has grown up so fast.
Dougie is 4 and that alone makes me sad. He tells me he isn't a baby anymore he is a big boy. It hurts my heart to hear that sometimes.
I have been blessed by my family this year supporting me helping out with cheer even though it takes alot of time from them. It is really something I enjoy doing. I have made some really good friends.

This week we have 2 eigth grade promotions! Plus lots of field trips for all of the kids. the following week Bethany goes under the knife again for her right ankle this time! This most of all has me petrified. With being so busy I didn't have time to think about it but now that everything has slowed down boy it really hit me today. I am putting my daughter's life in someone else's hands. Yes she has had this done before but it doesn't make it any easier.

I have been so emotional lately just wanna cry. Can we have a rewind or pause button. That would be really good. I am so not ready to be a mom to 3 high schoolers!
