To all the parents out there

P.S. Have you noticed there is nothing lower on the food chain than the high school freshman boy, or at least that is the way they feel. I think the freshman year was Tyler's hardest year, but he made it.

dbuck, I think you're right, friend. Thanks to you and everyone else who offered advice and encouragement! He just came home, had a much better day today! He tried out some of the things we'd brainstormed about in terms of logistics, and things went more smoothly. Hooray!

I need a pep talk. L'il Pea #1 is feeling overwhelmed. After he mistakenly missed biology class the first day, he and about 20 other kids were called into the office. They all had made the same mistake, but they were almost given detention for it. Evidently, another group of kids had a less merciful secretary and were assigned it. Then the lunch line was endless, so he had to grab something and eat in 10 minutes. At the end of the day, he wasn't clear on the carpool situation and was lost and had everyone waiting for him. Tell me it'll get better, please.

Poor thing. I knew he shouldn't go to high school! It'll get better and he will forget all about the tragedies of the first week!

My baby has moved in to a townhouse/condo with two friends in Alpharetta. She is a junior attending Ga. State. Yesterday was her first day and it was successful! She will be riding Marta two days a week downtown and working the other 3 days at the North American Mission Board (So Baptist Convention) right around the corner from their house. All grown up now! Paying her own bills too. :shock:

Where have you been, anyway? Can't you see I needed you?!

Good job!!

And how is kindergarten going? So far so good on this end. Kate told me she wanted to "happy cry" because she loves school so much. :roll: Oh the drama of it all....:roll:

Don't worry, everyone gets lost their first day or week, then you get into a routine and figure it out. After a couple days he'll be having a great time and be oblivious to the fact that you are still worrying about him adapting!

My first day of college I asked someone where the library was and was told "It's the only 15 story building on campus." I thought that was a rather rude answer then realized I was about 50 yards away from it . In retrospect, I am sure the person I asked wondered how I got admitted to the university or found the doorknob that morning! :roll:
