Wednesday was a bit of a mess. Things got off to a rocky start and then the day was further muddied when my computer suddenly ran out of file space. It couldn't even keep one program running. Ugh! What followed was hours upon hours of feverish file deletion...and a lot of stress.
I don't know about you, but as soon as I get all comfortable and think it's safe to delete something...suddenly that file becomes vitally important. Anyone? Clearly this has kept me from deleting enough files to allow my computer to function (and yes I do have an additional external hard drive...also completely full). Anyway (long rambly bit complete), I discovered this photo (taken for this DIY project) while plowing through and ruthlessly trashing my files, and I thought the image seemed appropriate for the upcoming school year.
Speaking of which, in just a couple of weeks my daughter will be starting a new school and we are filled with nervous excitement (or if I'm being completely honest, hopeful but nauseous anticipation). My daughter has a long history of being targeted by bullies in her past schools, and so I'm wondering friends, do you have any advice that you want to pass on to my daughter or me (heaven knows at least I need it)? Maybe you had a personal experience with bullying, or just something helpful from your past years as a teenager (or raising one) that you want to share. Humorous, anecdotal...we'd love to hear it all. xo Ez
