Trouble Back Home

Trouble back home
I am finally feeling something a little like homesickness. I had left my phone in Vienna and I only got it in the mail a couple days ago here at school. I finally called my mom after not talking with anyone back home for awhile and I was crushed.
Not only are my younger siblings growing up without my knowledge (I have 3 younger sisters-one of which is out of the house- and brothers ages 2 and 4,) but there has been a death in the family. Our family dog, Buster, who has been with us since we lived in Missouri when I was 10, died. Apparently he had a painful death from kidney failure. My mother started crying on the phone telling me about it. I am still in shock! I had to put my own dodg, Lizzie, to sleep right before I went to Baylor freshman year. I guess it is just my luck (again.) I cant believe he is gone and I know it is ridiculous, but I wish I had been there with my family.
Not only has this happened within my family, but my parents are going to Las Vegas for one of my dads doctor conventions. While they are gone my second sister, Rachel, is going to Winter Formal. My parents rented a limo to take her to the dance. My other sister, Faith, made the basketball team and I talked to her last night for the second time this semester. I finally talked to my sister Courtney who is at Syracuse in New York on aim the other day and is having a fun but hard time. The boys are growing up way too fast. They will not even know me when I return. Needless to say, with everything going on I had a good cry last night. I hope Paris this weekend brings some therapy. It is hard not being around when everyone in your family is growing up!
