Totally Awkward Tuesday

So I am following the lead of some of my Fav blogs and decided to have totally awkward Tuesdays here on my blog. So here is goes...I moved around a lot as a kid because my dad was in the military and then when my parents divorced we moved some more. I never had a problem making friends....until I moved in to what is now my Dad's house. My Sister and Brother moved in with My Mom after she got remarried and I decided that I would stay with my Dad and his Wife Lin. I started the 8Th grade at a new Middle School, very excited because sometimes being the new girl has perks. I was very wrong...the town was small so everyone grew up with each other. I was the outcast...I had a hard time getting anyone to talk to me which killed my self-esteem. I kept at it, I smiled and said hi to the girls I went to class with, flirted with the boys etc. All of my work paid off, the last day of school I was asked if, right after school I would like to go to the movies with some of the "cool" kids. I was so excited I called my Dad from the school office at lunch and got his OK. I was finally excepted nothing was going to ruin this day!!!! Again I was wrong...right after school I met up with the "cool" kids and when we were about to walk to the movies some stupid kid from the 6Th grade nailed me in the head with marshmallow cream and one of the other kids squirted ketchup all over me. Needless to say I didn't get to go to the movies. I moved in with my Mom after that summer.

Awww Alice that's a sad story. See why I hate kids?

I was a new girl in a small town too, I know only too well how it feels.

what brats. If I ever hear of one of my kids doing something like that to another kid, well, it just won't be a pretty scene...
