Middle School
Middle School was not my favorite time period. Trying to figured out who I was and trying to fit in w/ everyone was hard for me. Now my oldest is entering that same phase and I hope she's ready. First of all, she's much better looking than I was and has a great sense of style. I swear that kid might cruise right past her awkward stage. She's a good girl and a smart girl so I don't really worry about her getting into trouble or struggling w/ grades. She is fairly shy and I worry a little about her making friends. We went today to get her schedule and find all her classes and I almost broke down right there. I told myself that it was silly and kept myself together, but amongst the lockers and the big high ceilings, and the crowded hallways filled w/ strangers-it was painfully apparent that she was so not my baby girl anymore.

I remember thinking the same thing some 25 years ago. My daughter was also bright, good and you know what? I was right! You still are:)
ReplyDeleteI am supposed to take Noah tomorrow. I'm not sure I'm ready.
ReplyDeleteMan, you're freaking me out with all this middle school talk!! I can't believe it and she's not even my daughter! I cry just thinking about sending Braedan to kinder next year! Hang in there, she'll come home with tons of friends, all A's and still dress cute while doing it! :)
ReplyDeleteShe will do great! Sixth grade was fine, seventh was awful, but eighth was okay! Ah, middle school.
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate. Riley will do great. So far we are on week 3 and it is much better than I thought. Good Luck Riley.
