Well, I guess today is the day that I post the post I have been putting off for over a month. It should be a fun post about Carlie's first formal event, Spring Celebration. It was a weekend that changed a lot for her and me. You see, back in the fall she had a friend ask her to this event. She just assumed they were still going together even though he didn't mention it again. So mid February she asked him about it and he acted like he had forgotten about it, but said they would go together. Over a period of about 5 or 6 weeks, he seemed to tell everyone that he didn't want to go with her....everyone except her. His sister was even going around telling it. When she confronted him about it, he said they were lying....whatever. I told her to tell him they were NOT going together. He hasn't spoken two words to her since, and to add insult to injury, her "best friend", Hannah posted pictures on Instagram about how she had such a great weekend with him! Now, no they were not together, but Carlie was as confused as I was about why she would do that. They were supposed to be friends, and now here she is being hurtful. I can't for they life of me understand. We have come to the conclusion that she is just bipolar. For the next 4 to 5 weeks Carlie never knew which "friend" would show up: the best friend who wanted to talk to her, or the other one who seemed to ignore her completely.
The girl has issues. I just hate it for Carlie that her Freshman year is ending this way. Now she seems to be black-balled at school...you know, when the boy is the High School teacher's son, things get complicated. Kids want to please adults...get the picture?!
So you may ask, why document this? Well, because this is our scrapbook. Our lives are not just fun and smiles all of the time. In fact, this year has been super trying at school for 3 of the 4 of us (me, Carlie, and T). Every year at the end of school I always debate if we will go back the next school year, and every year, fear overcomes me about homeschooling and we re-apply. This year we are not going back. We will homeschool. I have prayed about this for a while now. I've had other people praying about it too.

Me and my girl. I look completely like crap. It was a long stressful day to say the least!
My girls!
My three munchkins!
After she got her hair and make-up done.
Much Love,
