First day of Jr. High

Bailey was so excited and nervous for school to start, she loves the routine that school brings but was nervous to go to a new school.  We had gone a few weeks before school started for her to pick up her schedule, find out where her locker was and to run through her schedule. 

Her locker was a bugger to open up.  The dial was stiff and it only opened up less than half the time we tried. 

We decided to run through her schedule a few more times when we ran into a teacher, not one of hers, but she asked us how everything was going and we explained that the locker was giving her troubles.  She came over to the locker with us and said that it might just need some WD40 on it.  She went to find a janitor but couldn't but she did find some WD40.  She sprayed it into the lock and on the inside of the locker and it loosened things up quite nicely.  Bailey and I went into the bathroom to get some paper towels to wipe up the excess grease on her locker. 

As Bailey was wiping it down we realized that it had the "f word" scratched into the front of it, first of all I don't want that to be the first thing she sees each day and second I didn't want to be charged for it!  So we went to the office and talked to the principal and she happily assigned Bailey a new locker.  We went over to try the new one out and it worked perfectly!  What a relief!

She also went over to the school another day with her friends to run through their schedules and practice their lockers.  By the time the first day of school was here she was more than ready!
