Tomorrow this time, I'll be the mom of a ninth grader and eighth grader. don't know if I'm ready to tell you the truth. As a high school teacher myself and a ninth grade teacher for more years than I want to say....it scares the soup out of. He's now playing for all the marbles. Mistakes cost a lot! Mistakes can sidetrack your entire life....I don't know if he's ready...
I'm sure he'll be fine, I just worry...
Tomorrow is supposed to be almost 100 degrees again. We broke last week after over a month of over 100 degree weather. My garden is toasted but there are signs of life now that we got about 5 inches of rain last week and even a day that didn't hit 90! I honestly was getting worried about large shrubs, we were so dry! I am just thankful that we don't have to live this winter of off what I've grown this summer....very few blackberries, very few tomatoes, peppers, anything else!
Hopefully, my fall garden will be better than this summer garden. I pulled most of it a few weeks ago and put it out of it misery.
Now back to worrying about tomorrow! First day of school...SCARY!!!!!

First Day of School!
This is it! The first day of school! So exciting, new school for the daughter, new program for the son. Finally getting back to a schedule for me! I took pictures by the flowerbed that I've always do. It is amazing how much bigger both of the kids have grown and the how the flowerbed has changed over the years.
Different hairstyles, different styles of clothes, bigger and bigger shoes! It's always amazing what outfits my kids choose for the first day of school. My daughter, who is in her own right a self-proclaimed fashionista, makes her choice weeks in advance and changes it every other day until the night before. She wants to show everybody how nice she can dress. My son, who would still be letting me choose his clothes if I would, simply reaches into his closet or floor for something that would pass for clean.
Yesterday, my daughter was still agonizing over which jeans to wear, looked at my son and said, 'you're lucky you're doing homeschool this year, you don't have to choose what to wear on the first day of school!' My son, never one to miss an opportunity to be sarcastic to his sister, I think he got that from dad...never from me, said, 'I never chose what I was going to wear to the first day of school when I went to school! I just grabbed whatever!' She audibly gasped in horror. To think that he didn't even plan his wardrobe!
Hopefully, she'll have a great day! We went and got the schedule well in advance and took a tour of the school. She already has many friends that will be there to help her and she even got to meet a few of her teachers. I dropped her off this morning with a smile and a wave and DID NOT walk her in! I have great faith that she'll do well. Middle school is tough but my daughter is better than most!
