Our boy begins the adventures of Jr. High!

Am I really old enough to have a student in Jr. High?! Seriously?! This morning I got to take Bradon to his new school to get his locker & find out his class schedule. Oh the memories that brings! Or shall we say "nightmares" that brings. Seriously, I STILL have them periodically...that I'm there in the school, have no idea what my schedule is, where my classes are, or can't get into my locker...you'd think they would go away; but, no! It's a scary time (for both him & us as parents!)...it's such a big change from what they're used to! So, first thing we do is go try out his locker. Guess what?...he couldn't get in! I guess they messed up the #s on a bunch of them & the guy was having to go around & fix them all morning (we went back after my class & fortunately it worked then. I was afraid he wouldn't get to try again until the 1st day). We walked around to see where his classes were, get familiar with the school. Why you have to go from one end to the complete other inbetween each class I don't know...you would think there was a better system; but, guess that's the luck of the draw. Watching all the other kids there getting thier info reminded me of what a hard, crazy, whatever word you want to use...age that is. Young teenagers all think they are just the bomb! It's funny really, they do make you laugh! Let's just hope he survives it all right!
