Random Thoughts

With a new school year just 3 weeks away, I'm already starting to feel a little sad that our summer is over and that my daughter will be heading back to school. My baby starts middle school this year, and I know that she'll be fine academically, but I honestly worry about her safety there. I have heard horror stories about that middle school! I tried to get her in the charter school, but we ended up toward the end of the waiting list...ugh! I could home school her, and I will if safety becomes an issue, but I feel she needs to be around other kids. It's a vicious circle! Anyone else have similar feelings, or am I the only one?
