I had TERRIBLE anxiety about getting lost, going to the wrong classes, being too 'dumb' etc etc and I'm 30 and STILL have nightmares about losing my class schedule so I couldn't find my way.

Remind her that if she is lost she can ask any adult and they wont make fun of her for being lost, they will always help. I also laminated my weekly schedule and would use a dry erase pen to cross off each class each day to make sure I didn't go to the wrong one on the wrong day. I'm very list oriented.

Going into high school I BEGGED my parents to let me test out and get a GED because I had taken all of the practice tests and aced them. I was book smart, just anxious and awkward. Alas, I graduated with the rest of my peers near the top of my class and even made some friends along the way.


I was the same as you but I did take my GED my senior year! I hated school and that's why I empathize with her so much.

My son is the opposite and has too much confidence! I have to put him in place sometimes.

I like the laminated idea! Thanks!

Good for you for being the top of your class.

Jeff and I went to a favorite bar that had moved about a year ago to the country club for lunch. Yummy hamburger and fries.

Hi Steven:

Nice to see you this a.m. My back yard light works great! Still haven't decided where to put the other two, but I'm thinking about near the metal shed on the north side of the house.

Today is errand-running day. And I've got the blahs. Don't really feel like doing anything. But I must force myself. Time to turn off the computer and go fix tortoise breakfast, then get going into town.

later everyone.
Glad to know you enjoy the added safety and security of your back yard. I have many lazy day also. but things need to be done.......

Mike we're ready to get our clouds back here. Look at all the clouds we don't have right now that can't make rain And that wonderful future forecast for Monday. I must say, I can't wait to lounge in the air conditioned house. You on the other hand, what the h-e-double toothpicks are you folks thinking of down there?

Ugh, my favorite female Redfoot just laid a pile of eggs, now I need to figure out if I'm going to figure out how to incubate them.
