Carlie the "colorguard baby"

--- No, I'm not pregnant, haven't been, and don't plan to be, but a of mine friends from school are, and I can only imagine how hard it is going to be for her. Raising a baby. Its screams. It cries. It eats all the time. It poops. It pees. How is she going to make it through? Not by the supporting baby's daddy. Nope, of course not, because just like most at this age, hes gone. A baby goes through millions and trillions of diapers, surely she isn't going to be able to afford these by herself., right? Then, theres school and keeping up her grades when the baby does come. My friend, has been dearly blessed with a life changing challenge. A challenge so BIG that it is going to take all her time and commitment into doing. Are you 15,16,17 years old? Are you pregnant? If yes, are you in any sports? If yes, think about that for a second................., your no longer the head of the cheer leading team, of best player for your school JV/v softball team. Everyone around you, whether they show it or not, is going to look at you and wish that you could have only seen what path this pregnancy was going to lead you too. They are going to say " If only she could have known" but one thing they don't know atm, is that once your miracle is born, and the second you look into those big baby eyes and those tiny fingers wrap around yours, your heart will be stolen away from you just like that, and your not going to regret any decision you made. She has a long journey and a lot of struggling ahead of her, but in the end it will all be worth it. Shes going to be tired and shes going to have to get up at 2am most of the time to change a diaper or make a warm bottle, but she isn't going to mind once she sees her tiny baby looking at her with these helpless eyes that just shout " i love you" and " i need you". Its not a game, and its not just a game of make-believe, its for real and at first she might have thought " oh god, this is such a huge mistake " but over the time, doctor visit after sonogram as she watches her unborn blessing grow and grow, and the feeling she gets when it kicks her, she is going to realize that she has created something beautiful and amazing that was meant to be here, that was meant to be brought into this world, and not kept out, and she has a whole family and a whole color guard team right behind, in front of, and beside her ready to help in any way. She is ready, whether she wants to be or not, whether she thinks she is or not, she is ready, to watch her baby grow up to be a great leader, she is ready for the pain, and tears, and laughs, and giggles, and everything, everything and anything, shes ready.

Live to Live Another Day

there is no telling where life is going to take us, how many friends we are going to lose & gain in the process, how many tears we will cry, how many times we will laugh, who from our past will be in our future, who will stand by us in everything. you'll learn who is a true friend & who is a fake & all about love. your going to have your heart broke at least a dozen times. & that's going to feel like your whole world is breaking, but you have some chocolate therapy, a few tears & then you move on. There is no guide book, or How To Live Life For Dummies, this is just something you have to figure out as you go. For some of us its time we grow up and act our age, for others its time for us to get out of the dream, pool & dry ourselves off with the towel of reality. im sure that somewhere out there, there is a guy worth shaving my legs for but im not ready to find him yet, because i still have my whole life ahead of me and i just want to have fun. You were given your life because you are strong enough to live it. No one out there can tell you what to do or what to wear, what to say, or what to think.that's a choice. your choice. & everyday of your life you are making choices 24/7. From things like cheerios or fruitloops, shorts or jeans, pot or icecream, love or a friend, cell phone or new clothes, your making those choices everyday. & the one wrong choice leads to other wrong choices, no obviously this doesnt really apply to the cheerious or fruitloops but im sure you get my point. Dont make wrong choices. you have a reputation, a life, a family, dont screw that up. In others words too all this long drawn out novel that half you wont finish reading because your lazy and still make your momma fix your microwavable fish sticks with ketchup on the side, im just saying have a smile on your face and a screw you attitude because from this point on you should live life for yourself & no one else. take chances you never dreamed of takin before. talk to people you dont normally talk to just because you might end up liking who they are for a person, dream big, follow your heart, unless for some odd creepy reason it tells you to go into a dark forest then your just screwed but thats not the point, the point is, your a beautiful, strong, independent, leader, who just needs to dig deep & find who they are suppose to be, not what everyone else wants them to be. -peacelovehappiness-

Rumor Has It

---Dont you just hate it when he said she said you said this to her about him? Same here, its stupid, immature, very babyish of the person who is trying to start things with/about you. So what are you suppose to do? Ignore the situation, get even, lose friends? Some people would even go to the extremes as to make whatever rumor it is become true. Personally, if there was a rumor that I slept with half the guys on the football team, I would not go to above and beyond to make that one come true, just so people would shutup. Mainly because (1), I would then be classified as a whore, and (2) it just gives them much more to talk about. I think, that basically, the only reason people start crap like this, is because they have no life and they would like other people to feel as low and lifeless as they do themselves. BUT, even if its not a rumor and you heard whatever "it" is from someone else, stop it!, dont tell anyone else about, be the one to who just walks away from pointless drama. I hear everyone around me talk about how they hate drama, but yet those are the people who start it and drag it out more than ever. If you dont like it then dont start it. Another question is do you like rumors being started about you? Didnt think so, it hurts, it makes people feel bad, people lose friends because of the things you say and do. " DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU" and of course I know that not everybody always follows this, because even I dont at times. But seriously, karma will put you through hell, just like the rumor you started did to others. Defenition?

• Karma- a bigger *witch than ill ever be;what comes up comes down, you'll be the one who hits the ground.

Better?I thought so,.

To Whom It May Concern

Hi! I'm Caitlin, but I'm called, Cay, Cat, Catie, and sometimes Cate, so any are fine with me. I live in a one light town in Alabama with my family and a dog. I like giving advice, even though occasionally I need some myself. I don't have all the answers in life, but who does really? I mean if we did, would life be any fun? Most of the time I am pretty laid-back and casual. Im overly sarcastic but, thats my personality. I have learned so many things about life, through my own mistakes and my own choices. I'm loud, lazy, and perverted, and you might hate me. But you wont be able to change me. I am who I am for a reason. I am a Christian, born and raised a Baptist. I'm southern at heart and a full-time Daddy's girl. I am very ticklish and sometimes very random, but most people have adapted to that. I have rough patches in my life that I am trying to smooth over, but one thing that gets me through the day is:

" when life hands you lemons, make grape
juice and sit back and watch the world wonder how you did it "

--until tmrw
