Is there anything more moody and hormonal than teenage girls? I have three girls, two of which are between the ages of 18 and 13. Usually they manage not to kill each other. Last night they fought, one took off to cool off. I came home to one gone, one upset knowing that she had made her sister take leave and then mom in a panic because we all know how scary this world is and to have a 14 year old girl wandering around in the dark is more than a little scary.
It all ended up okay. Mom had her heart attack added many many new grey hairs and today they are friends again (well almost).
I feel bad for the younger one. She is experiencing the nature of friends of that age than can be your best buddy one minute and hate you the next. It makes my heart hurt that she feels so left out and like nobody is her friend. She is such a loyal girl and tries so hard to be a good friend that I feel bad when others treat her wrong. 14 is such a tough age. I think the pressure from those last few days of school, friends, soccer, track and then a sister who wants nothing more than to sit and do nothing leaving the majority of the work to her she finally had had enough.
To my sweet girl boo - it will all get better, stay true to yourself. You are such a talented beautiful girl. We love you and will always support you and be there in your corner. You have great ambition and you will accomplish so many things and I treasure each day with you. You make me laugh, you make me angry at times, you make me marvel when you show such fierce loyalty to your younger brother and sister and when you show such gentleness with you little cousins.
To my other beautiful girl - remember that you are also a talented beautiful girl and we only push because we want the very best for you. You have such potential that we know what great things you can accomplish when you put your mind to it. Remember that your family will always be around to pick you up when you fall, to be your friend, mentor and shoulder to lean on. We will be with you to celebrate you accomplishments, and to help you through the tough times.

ah man. truely, you do have amazing girls. they are so different and so the same. true treasures, even though at times, you feel like you could strangle them.
and you know, having my own sisters, there is nothing better. there is no one else that understands like a sister. you can have all the friends in the world, but they don't come close to what a sister can mean to you in your life. i know i am grateful for mine ;)
