Schools In!

All of my children except for the baby (of course) are back in school as well as myself. We are extremely busy right now. My son is playing football, my daughters are both in soccer and maybe softball and my husband helps coach football and works 2 full time jobs. Life is CRAZY!!! Sometimes I wish there were 5 of me so that I can be everywhere at all times. I kind of understand polygamy in that way...LOL! No but seriously when my life slows down or whenever I get a minute to myself, I like to read and catch up on all your blogs. They keep me sane..hahahaha! Things change from day to day and we never can predict the outcome. Like yesterday, my daughter Jasmine, who is a tough girl on the outside, but very sensitive on the inside. Well she and a classmate got into an argument. This little jerk, I mean girl, called my daughter ugly and told her she looks like a boy because she plays sports and that her clothes are ugly. Well I told her that its not right for people to call names and that the little girl is jealous of her. And to make it worse, she came up to me an hour later and hid behind a pillow asking me if I thought she was ugly. So many emotions came over me, sadness, anger, pity. I said to her, "Jasmine you are very beautiful and don't let anyone tell you different. People only say hurtful things when they are jealous of you. I love you Jas and that's all that matters."
This is the part of parenting that I am not looking forward to. How do I protect my children and not get involved at the same time? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
Good luck and keep writing, I need the sanity!!
