Three girls trying to be "best friends" is such a drama. All three of them are dramatic in there own special ways, but I am definetely raising the queen. Why is that? It has to be Jed's fault somehow- it couldn't possibly be my doing. haha. For example, I went to pick her up at school, and there was a fight between 2 boys that are both in her class. A mom broke up the fight and the boys went there seperate ways. I then see Jessie in all her 45 lb. fury, following closely behind one of the boys and just screaming at him all the way down the sidewalk. When she finally got into the car, I asked her what she was saying to him. She said, "I told him - what do you think you're doing?" (unfortunately I say that to her all of the time). "Why did you have to beat him up? etc.,etc.,etc., ...and then I growled at him". That last thing made me laugh so hard I forgot to tell her it's not nice to yell at other people. She growled at him? oh my.
Any advice on how to raise an 8 year old teenage drama queen?

"...and then I growled at him." He he he. Aahhh. That is classic.
It's cute that she's not embarrassed to tell you stuff like that.
I think you're doing a fine job--along with her drama is a very sweet, helpful girl.
3 girls hanging out together is a bad combo. One is always being left out. I used to have that issue when I was younger. I was pretty manipulative and once I didn't want Heidi (or Gabriella?)to leave my house so I locked her in and wouldn't let her go and I was always jealous when she wanted to play with the other girls. Psycho girl I am....
I just re-read my comment and I meant fine like a fine wine, not like "you look fine" sort of thing. You're doing a wonderful job!
Christine, I don't remember being locked in your house--maybe it was Gabriella, but I do remember you calling the houses I was babysitting at on Friday nights, because you were mad that I wasn't sleeping over at your house. We had so much fun together! Rosalyn Bailey...
Thank you, Heidi. I wish you had kids before me, you seem to handle things better than I do. But at least my kids can go to nice Aunt Heidi for advice- that gives me some relief. Christine - I don't remember you being a psycho- that's way funny that you locked them in your house to keep them there. It's so hard to see your kid being left out - I know the feeling. Kim Clark & Heather Utley. uugh! Kim Clark ... I did get sweet revenge on her in high school though.
Wow - she's fiesty, kind of reminds me of someone I know. (Remember the golf tournament and pshyco Ron?)
Speaking of golf - I created a blog for you to enjoy. Here it is:

Mom- that is such a perfect blog name for you guys. And Ron was and still is the biggest A-hole ever. Jessie is lookin pretty good to me now.
I want the scoop on the Kim Clark revenge. Did you make out with her man or something?
Ah the memories of friend issues. The best thing I learned from my mom, don't get involved unless someone is in danger of dying. One day they're on the receiving end of "mean girls" the next day they are on the giving end. Girls are so mean. I remember one day these girls I was friends with, hated me this particular day and one of them had a swimming pool (above ground metal thing). I invited myself to swim. They told me I couldn't cause they hated me that day. I told my Mom and she went over and told them they had to let me swim. They let me but were super mean to me. I was completly oblivious as I splashed about having got my way. They hated me forever after that and were mean ever day. Then I noticed. My mom said she never got involved after that.
Oh yeah, I too was super fiesty like Jessie - I remember in 4th grade some mean boy was teasing my sister Natalie while she waited for me. I exploded and began screaming and pushing this bully out the door, down the stairs, across the playground until he started to cry and ran home. Big baby. I had a reputation after that.. stay away from that girl - she's psycho! PS. Growling is a Moore girl/mom trait. We always growl under our breath when we are mad.
Here's the scoop - Jed & I had broken up (again) and I was desperate for a date, so I called Derrick Russell and asked him out. He already had plans to go to a movie with a bunch of friends, but invited me to come with. So, he picked me up and just the two of us went to the movie - just a friend thing, not really a date. When we got there, Kim was waiting out in the lobby for Derrick - when she saw I was with him the look on her face was obvious she was not happy- she didn't say hi or anything. So I asked Derrick what that was all about and he said that they had been dating, had broken up and he heard that she was going to try to get back together with him that night. But I foiled her evil plan. He was glad because he didn't like her anymore and we had one of the funnest nights. Derrick was way cool - but I got back together with Jed like 2 days later. It was completely innocent revenge and it was great.
Lisa - I love that you growl too. I think your mom was right about not getting involved. I get more mad at the little b's than Jessie does.
