Sam started middle school this year. I can hardly believe it! My baby girl is in the 6th grade. She grew up way too quickly in my opinion. The worst part of her starting middle school...I wouldn't be there to help her through her first week. I was faced with a serious Mom Dilemma. Taking my oldest up to start college fell on the same week Samantha started middle school. And my little Sam is quite the worrier. She can worry anyone I know straight under the table. She is an expert at coming up with very rare scenarios and then worrying and stressing about them.
I was able to stick around long enough to get her on the bus on the first morning...and then I left it to her Dad to take over. She survived. She actually did well. She came upon some of the stressful situations she had feared and she figured out ways to deal with them. She just might be ready for middle school after all.
