The Sewing Mom

That’s it.  The Olympics have come to their conclusion and so has our summer vacation.  My daughter starts school tomorrow.

Normally she is very excited about the first day of school.  This year, perhaps because she is beginning junior high, she is excited, but mixed with a large dose of nervousness.   It has been tough since we moved last year and she left her dozens of friends behind.   I just keep reminding her though that tomorrow, every single 7th grader at school will be in the exact same boat as her, they’re all starting new.  There are 12 elementary schools feeding into this junior high, so many of the kids will not know each other.  They may or may not be in the same classes with their friends from last year.  This is a time of new friendships, new beginnings.

Although I’m not looking forward to having to get up early in the morning, I am anxious to hear all about her first day.
