Go Team!

Last night, D2 and I went to see D1 play basketball. The drive is about 45 minutes, so I had time to spend with D2, just the two of us. Her attitude lately has been a bit gruff, to say the least. During the ride over, I could tell she had her normal attitude, so we didn't talk much. If I ask her a question, I am being nosey, if I make a statement, I am being too sensitive. I did laugh because after she gave me a bunch of tone, her friend called and she was sweet as pie! When we got there, I wanted to take some pictures of D1, and D2 decided she was going to sit at the top row of the bleachers where it was dark. I asked her why she was sitting there, and her reply was, "I like the dark." I went down about 10 rows and sat by myself. Her Dad came in sometime after the game started and went and sat with her. He later came back down and asked me what was wrong with D2. I said, "She is 13". Secretly, I was happy she had the same attitude towards him...

It was a good game and I enjoy watching all of my girls play their sports. D1 came and sat with me for a while after the JV game, and we got caught up on things. She is going to a dance this weekend and she has a date! She has been going to the tanning bed and she needs a new dress! Ahhh... the essentials. I am happy for her and hope she has a great time. I miss having her around, but her switching schools was the best thing for her. It makes me happy that she saw an opportunity and she took it. When she left me, she went up and gave her sister a hug and sat with her for a minute. D2 and I left after the first quarter of the varsity game.

On the way home, D2 was finally her old self. Apparently last Saturday, after D1's game, she was hurt by the fact that D1 didn't say anything to her at all. That was when the attitude had started. We talked a little about it, but I didn't want to push too much. She'll talk more as the week continues. Amazing what a hug from a loved one can do for you.

I missed TBW while I was gone. I came home and she was in bed with all three dogs surrounding her. At least she had someone protecting her and keeping her company. I am sure they didn't have a "tone" with her, just non-stop movement and puppy play!
