the goodwin family

were to start ,  last night was carissa’s school carols , they were good .  i don’t  know why i let it get to me , but i feel for my kids .  when brodie went thru hell at school i was sick  , the hell he was in  put me on antidepressents  , it was that bad .  carissa is not going thru any thing like that but i still feel sick and sad for her .  i watched last night as she tried to be with lily , but she had to follow behind lily and ashleigh  , couldn’t be with them , so went of instead . they were once close , now she is forgoten and not thought of , . brett says don’t worry but i feel for my kids . carissa will not get the bus any more and she looks sad to me .    i drop her at school  and she walks in , she some times goes to lily and ashleigh but they don’t pay any attinton to her , so now she walks in and goes past them .  

life is so hard and unfare . 

hi all ,

wow were does time go .?         this weekend brodie is at dungog  for the district scout rafting camp . 

we are going to bretts woolies christmas party ,

sick of this hot weather ,  got  2 loads of water today  1 for the house and 1 for the dialysis machine .   

brodie has a job interview on monday night ,  fingers crossed .

thinking of every one ,    all our love

why 

carissa came home tuesday  crying , her best friend ( lily ) has dumped her ,,  and she is beside her self .   

she was like a fish out of water  on the excursion as the girls she hanges around are in a higher year in her class but they were not on the trip . 

she got on good with some  , so hope this works out for her when she goes to school monday , she is in bed today , tired and resting after 2 very busy & big days in sydney .

i am sad for her .    

carissa  is so up set .  there are 2 kids giving her hell .  it is that bad  she won’t get the bus of a morning any more because they are on the bus and start on her  . then this morning she doesn’t want to go to school  . thay are at her on the bus and at school , she asid she spent lunch yesterday  crying . 

after the years i put up with brodie ’s  life a living hell at the primary school   i can’t go through that again .

kids are so cruell and nasty .  i rang the school first thing this morning , lets see what they do ???

this is  so frustrating . 

we took 7 kids ice skating today .  and then we went to spears point park  and had a picnic .  the girls ended up paddling there feet in the water .  it was a lovely day .

carissa was  10 in september  but we had been so busy and broke we never had a chance to do anything for her until  today .

so she took her best friend lily and 3 of her next closet  kaitlin , melissa and sidnea .

brodie and his girl friend nicole was with us aswell .

great day was had by all .

luv alisa
