dear crappy weekend

i sit here listening to my young'in sniff and sneeze, knowing there are kiddos and parents questioning why the same person gets the lead roles in everything, wondering why some parents can be so hurtful about kids they haven't taken the time to know, thinking that sometimes you just have crappy weekends.  i know my kiddo and her bff haven't had the best weekend and they had a speed bump or two...they seem to be somewhat out of sync with each other right now and i'm praying they'll figure it out.  they've worked too hard to have the friendship they have to not fight for it.  mine is fighting a heckuva headcold and has to sing for the next couple of days..i hurt for her.  she's been trying to write a personal note to her boy for valentine's day and was struggling with it but think she's finally getting it figured out.  she's not good at expressing herself verbally when it comes to emotional things.  and then there's her bff's who had been cruising along for the past month getting to know a boy she'd known for a while in a whole new way.  looked like everything had been going well then WHAM!  his mom finds out and thinks she's not good enough for her son, that her big bro had done some bad things in the past and so she's painted with the same brush.  what kind of crap is that?  sometimes parents just tick me off - they don't think at all.  his mom doesn't even know her nor has she given her a chance...people are plain stupid. then to top it off - casting came out for the spring musical & the same girl who's gotten the lead parts since about 6th or 7th grade, got the lead again.  i understand that she's talented, we all get that, but how can anyone else show that they have talent or try out their dreams if she gets every great role handed to her?  i know it's not all her fault...fault lies in the hands of the those deciding who gets the parts.  but people get to the point of "why even try out for a good role" if she's up for it?  oh...and they might be making the cheerleaders tryout when they've NEVER had to?  and there are some jr high girls who are getting way too big for their cheer britches?  they seem to think that they can boss around the varsity girls and that since they have money that they are better?  going so far as to tell the current varsity captain that she probably wouldn't make it thru the tryouts next year and wouldn't have to worry about cheering next year....these girls are getting ridiculous!
so i guess that's the end of my weekend...watching some awards show, chillin' with my kid.  that kind of ending can make the whole crappy weekend sorta disappear...amazing how snuggling up with a loved one or two can change your whole attitude.
be well friends
