Broken Hearts

You always know in the back of your mind that someday your kids heart will be broken. It's unavoidable, we've all been through more than once. So Courtney comes in from football practice last night in tears. Hate that!!! I asked what happened, I thought she got a bad progress report or something. Took some coaxing to get it out of her, but it boiled down to a boy. UGH!! The male species.. Apparently she and some kid had been getting along really well and she was hoping for a homecoming invite. She got wind yesterday that he apparently sent a text to a soph girl that he didn't like Court anymore, he liked her. Well of course Courtney was the last one to hear about it and only found out because she does have a couple of really good friends that are trainers and fball players. She was crushed. I told her it wasn't worth it and she boldly told me "How do you know". So I proceeded to tell her that I too had a heart break over a young man in high school and found out about the same way. Of course that many years ago we didn't know what a cell phone was, it was all in note passing in the halls and classes. I told her that I went up to the girl that was responsible for my break up and told her that she was going to end up p'ssing me off and that I would just be the he&% out of her. Courtney's eyes were huge by this point. I told her not to handle it that way, but just to ignore them and act like nothing bothered her. I told her in the end it comes back to bite them.... The girl that up rooted my beau years ago ended up in trouble with many instances and the guy and I are still very close friends. I sent her off this morning and told her not to be upset, cry, or anything. Tell them to screw off, which she smiled and walked out the door.

Guess mom mellowed a little over the years, but not much....
