My oldest daughter Halie started Middle School today. She was more anxious than any of us today. She was so worried she would not be able to get her locker open. I told her not to worry about it that she probably would not even need it today. She was so full of anxiety this morning you would have thought she would explode like a shaken up coke bottle. She is spending the night with eleven other girls all who started 6th grade today so I have pitty on the Mom who is keeping them. All night long they will rehash the events of their first day in Middle School and she won't get a bit of sleep.
