New school, new rules

So school started yesterday. New school, new rules. Or in the case of Barrett, maybe not enough rules. It is so much more laid back here at LogRog. Barrett is pretty much free to walk around before school, instead of being held captive in the gym until the bell rings. He gets to walk outside BY HIMSELF to shop class, unheard of at Hickory. And, being as how he is like me, he might prefer a little less freedom to begin with. Just til he is used to things. I think he is actually excited about the new found freedom, it just new. He will have time to go see Coach Queen before school, and that is good. He told me he said all of three words all day yesterday, and those might have been when he sat by a kid at lunch and said "My names Barrett" and the kid replied, "My names Greg" since that is the total of the conversation.
Skyler is okay, weird that some kids she actually knows in one of her classes did not talk TO her, but told Hayely, that they have a class with her. I would not go back to middle or high school for any amount of money.
So, as you think of it, pray for my kids, all of our kids really. My heart aches for mine right now, trying to make friends, everything new. I was nervous every year, and i went to the same school til i graduated.

I will definitely pray for your kids! I told Tom yesterday that I was glad (after reading Megan's syllabus for all her classes) that I was not the one in Middle School!

Bethany was always the new kid because we moved so much. Now she loves tha spirit of adventure. Just look where God has taken her. Your kids will do great.

I'll be praying for them. You never really forget how difficult those years are, especially when you're the new kid.

However, you don't stay the new kid for long!
