TODAY BRITTNEE STARTED 4TH GRADE. SHE WAS EXCITED AS WELL AS HESITANT. THE OLDER KIDS GET THE LESS THEY WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL. ITS SAD TO SEE THEM GOING BACK SO SOON. I REMEMBER HAVING THREE MONTHS OF SUMMER. NOW THEY ARE LIMITED TO JUST BARELY TWO MONTHS. SO FAR BRITTNEE HAS DONE REALLY WELL IN SCHOOL AND WE HOPE TO KEEP HER AS EXCITED ABOUT SCHOOL AS POSSIBLE. I WAS NEVER ONE THAT ENJOYED SCHOOL. I HAD THE GET TO SCHOOL, DO WHAT I HAVE TO AND GET HOME ATTITUDE. I WAS NOT PART OF ANY CLICK OF ANY KIND. I GOT ALONG WITH ANYONE THAT GOT ALONG WITH ME. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT BRITTNEE WILL HAVE A BETTER ATTITUDE AND BETTER OUTLOOK ON HER SCHOOL LIFE. SHE IS VERY SENSITIVE AND LAST YEAR WE HAD PROBLEMS WITH SOME GIRLS BEING MEAN TO HER. IT WAS HER FIRST YEAR IN PUBLIC SCHOOL AND SHE HAD NOT EXPERIENCED THIS KIND OF UGLINESS BEFORE SO IT HIT HER HARD. WE PRAYED ABOUT IT SEVERAL TIMES AND SOON THE GIRLS LEFT HER ALONE. IT IS HARD TO HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER THAT GIRLS CAN BE MEAN. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THE ONES THAT ARE MEAN ARE EITHER JEALOUS OR HAVE OTHER ISSUES AND THE ONLY WAY THEY KNOW TO MAKE THEMSELVES FEEL BETTER IS TO BE UGLY TO OTHERS. THAT IS WHY I ENCOURAGE HER TO PRAY FOR THOSE THAT ARE MEAN TO HER. IT WORKED LAST YEAR. SO, HERE WE ARE STARTING ANOTHER YEAR IN HOPES THAT THIS ONE WILL BE A BETTER ONE AND THAT SHE WILL NOW KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THOSE HARD SITUATIONS.

Yes, girls can be mean and it just plain sucks. I think teaching her early to pray for those who are against her is wonderful. She looks great!
Ugh, girls are awful to each other. I'm grateful that I'm able to homeschool and protect Taylor from some of that garbage. It's just not right. Of course, she gets her share of it at dance class and at church (unfortunately-that should be the LAST place it should happen). Brittnee looks adorable for her first day of school! I can't believe they had to go back so early. They get a nice fall break, though, don't they? We'll be praying for her, too, and for peace between all the girls!
