windy city...

I am leaving for Chicago today to see my sister and visit her 4th grade glass. I am a little nervous. Schools make me nervous. I mean, what if the kids don't like me. What if they make fun of me or what I am wearing...I have been planning my outfit options for days. Julia assures me that they are too young to care about fashion and that they are very excited to meet me and that if anything I will just feel a little overwhelmed and that it can get very loud. Lots of yelling could ensue....too bad she has lost her voice. She swears that it will be back by Friday. It better.

At the start of the school year I went to my friend's high school to help him pick his class ring and I was blown away by how little these high schooler were. They were all so pretty and peppy. I don't remember ever being like that. I got all nervous walking the halls. I think I am still young enough to be cool and not really a grown up but lately the young kids want nothing to do with me. What is with that? I mean, I am cool!!! hahaha.

So wish me luck on my visit to 4th grade. The picture above is from her classroom. The little girl crying is a sensitive sally! She needs lots of attention...Julia does a very good job at tending to her.  Julia once put her on the phone with me and she asked me what I would do if I had a daughter that was sensitive? I said its ok to be sensitive but that you have to have control. You can't just cry at everything. I  am not sure if she really got the message or I made it worse.
