Part Two......My Thing Teen

A few weekends ago my baby girl became the official "Teenager". We wanted to do something extra fun this year, so we decided to have her party at one of the local athletic clubs. We had it on a Saturday night which was great because the club was not busy. The girls did a hip-hop class, swam in the pool and we brought in pizza, pop and cake for later. I think they all really had a good time. I know I had tears in my eyes many times. From laughter and from realizing that I only have a few more short years with Emmie before she is off to college.

We had the most darling hip-hop instructor. OMW....did this gal have energy. The girls were instructed to pick out a scarf and tie it around their waists. They all had little coins dangling from them so when they would shake their booties, you'd hear the coins. At first they were all a bit shy, but by the end of it.......well lets just say there was not a quite set of buns in the house!

The room was really cute and we got there early to decorate. How appropriate that she got to sit in the princess chair. However, her BF Kenzie, she wants her own Princess chair from Santa for Christmas at her house! lol

Here is the group shot before swimming. Heaven forbid that I post a picture once the make up and hair is a mess. Sheeesh.......you'd think the world was coming to an end! Here's my girl................the girl that is going to give me heart failure before it is all said and done, I'm sure. She recently told me that it has been decided by the guys in her grade that she has the best "Round and Out There Booty"! WHAT?????????? And they aren't shy about slappin' it either! WHAT????????? She has had 3 guys that I "know of" ask her out, and her cell phone and text messages come faster then I care to admit. The tornado that constantly hits only her room and bathroom is enough to drive me insane. The girl must have and I'm not kidding at least 60 pairs of flip flops. She must own every color possible. They are everywhere. Her clothes are another issue....and the nightly procedure of what the next days outfit will be consists of her showing me at least 3-4 different options. Accessories included and possible hair styles as well. Every morning I get the "does my makeup look ok"? Pleeeeeez.......do you think I would dare to say "No"? The back lash from that alone would put me into a comatose state! I do have to say though, that she is a super student. Home work always comes first. She made the A Volleyball Team again his year and it has been so much fun watching her play.

During spirit week ( no, I would NOT let her go out of the house like this normally) there was a day that you were to dress like a Rock Star. Here is Miss Bootylicious.........is it any wonder that the boys are crazy for her? BTW.....the 30 foot electronic fence is being installed around the compound soon. NOW.............................................................................................................................................................

for the not so fun issue that nearly put me over the edge last week. Many of you may remember that I mentioned that when Emmie entered 6th grade, she had a 7th grade girl decide that she didn't like Emmie and was going to go out of her way to try and intimidate Emmie with every thing she had. Well, you know that didn't sit well with Sarabi, so into the office I went. She managed to get through 6th grade. Last year, in October at the very first dance, this same girl decided enough time had passed and she came within inches of Emmie's face threatening her again. This time Sarabi called and made a police report and I stormed into the office that following Monday telling the P and VP that it was their job to protect my daughter from the time she walked into the building until she left it and if they couldn't do it, that my husband and I would be contacting our attorney and WE. WOULD. TAKE. CARE. OF. THE. PROBLEM! Boom Baby.......the girl and her Father were called into the office. This lasted until about May, when I think the girl decided school was just about done and a few nasty comments were made in the hallway. Emmie let them go.........................................................................................................................................................

When school started this year, I remember the evening in her room when she said to me "This is going to be such a fun year Mom, I don't have to worry about anyone bothering me.....it's gonna be great". My heart was so full of joy for her. Her last year in MS......she was going to have so much fun! BOY WERE WE WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last week, she received threatening emails from this girl. The language was so bad that I can't even tell you what she said because my blog would get flagged. She basically said she was going to hunt her down and she would see her at the HS the next day. You see, Emmie has V-ball practice there and this girl knew this. CAN YOU HEAR ME ROAR?????????????? OH THIS PUT SARABI ON THE HIGHEST ALERT SHE HAS EVER BEEN ON. I'LL TELL YOU WHO IS GOING TO BE HUNTED DOWN!!!!!!!! OH YEAH..........I. WAS. FURIOUS. !!!!!!!! So, we printed out those emails..........can you say........Hook, line and sinker????? You want to mess with SARABI........you'd better buckled up. I'll use every source I have to protect my children. So, the next morning I called the police. ( LONG STORY SHORT........) And it so happened that the school's police lesion was at the HS. So guess where I went? And.....with The Boy (Sophia was in preschool)........can you imagine Thing Two contained in a small room for over an hour?????? Yeah......I was sweating bullets. So.........the "girl" happened to be out sick for the day so they reassured me that I did not have to go and pick Emmie up from school (due to her threat to meet her) and transport her to practice. AND.........the police paid that family and little home visit and made it CRYSTAL CLEAR......that WE as a FAMILY were NOT going to tolerate this anymore. It has been turned over to the Prosecutor's Office. Now, whether or not anything will happen, I don't know....................but have "I", SARABI, MADE MYSELF CLEAR ON HOW FAR I WILL GO"?????????????? Sigh...........drinks anyone???? Prozac????? Sedative????? LOL I love my girl with all of my soul......even though she is a messy, sassy, emotional, smart, dramatic and beautiful teenage girl.....................and listen up boys.......YOU GOTTA GET BY SARABI FIRST! Don't say I didn't warn you! *wink*
