Finally...

Its hard being the middle of three daughters, especially when the eldest is your mother's dream child and the youngest is the family terror. You feel you are always being compared to both siblings. The parents wonder why you're not like the older one and they forget that you are not nearly as troubling as the youngest one.

For the past two or three years I felt I was always trapped in the middle. I always felt that when my older sister was over, she and my mother would always gang up on me. Its always so difficult because they are exactly alike. I wouldn't have minded so much if I felt I had somebody else who is always on my side. Yes I have my friends, and yes my father is usually with me but even he can't be on my team all the time.

But what's even worse than a perfect older sister is the horrible younger one, Debbie. As you have read in my past blog, she can be just dreadful. I feel I can never have an opportunity to have time alone in my house to have friends over because even if my parents go away, SHE was always there and brought friends over whether I liked it or not.

But my luck I feel may be finally changing for the better. Debbie is finally kicked. And hopefully this time she will not be coming back. This situation can be great and horrible at the same time. It means we wont have anything stolen again and we can finally relax...but it also means that attention might be focused more on me...which can be negative at some points. I'm going to have to do my best to make sure the attention on me isn't negative (even keeping my room clean could be reason for the folks to go off on me...)

I hope this is all for the best...
