Two Third Place Wins!
Oh my, here I sit, on a Sunday morning, and my entire family is still sound asleep in bed. They all must have their Dad’s sleep genes. I am always up before them. I cannot bear to awake them today, though, as I know how tired they are.
I was extremely exhausted last night. For the first time in a long time, it was difficult for me to drive home. I realized why after I got home. My face is horribly windburn!
What a long day yesterday at the band competition. The boys had to be at school at 6:30 a.m. and did not return until after midnight.
The weather was so cold. I do not know what the temperature was, but with the wind blowing, it felt cold. It was not too bad during the day as long as I stayed in the sun, but as soon as the sun went down, I had to grab the big blue blanket to cover up in. I’m sure I looked ridiculous in that blanket, but it kept me warmer. After returning to the car, I never did warm up even after we were home. It was an odd feeling, like I was warm on the skin, but chilled to the bone. I think the windburn had something to do with that.
The things I do for my children.
They won two third places! There was a preliminary competition from morning through the afternoon and we won third place. The top eight bands then performed again for the final competition. We won third place in that (right behind the same two bands we lost to in the preliminaries). In the preliminaries, we also won the caption award for percussion. Woo Hoo! I must say, I think the percussion really is awesome this year. Not just because my boys are in it, but because the group as a whole has worked so hard together. The GE moves are awesome this year!
I will get some videos up if they turned out okay when I have some time.
Well, only one more competition and, thank God, it is indoors! They will compete at the Edward Jones Dome (where the Rams play) in St. Louis. We also have two more parades, but they are local, so I’m happy the traveling is almost over with.
Changing subjects, we had a great time with my Little Friday night. She got to meet the two youngest boys and we played basketball together. I think things went well. I know it will be overwhelming for her to meet my four men, so I am doing it slowly, starting with just two. Next week I am taking her to the football game to watch the marching band as she is learning to play the tuba and I hope she will be in the band some day. Then next Saturday we are going to the scrapbooking event that the organization has planned.
Goodness, my body is whipped, beaten, and pureed now (yes, I got that phrase from my hubby and love it!). After playing basketball, I found muscles I had not used in a while. And we were almost late for the band competition yesterday and thought we had parked close, only to find out that we were way out in Timbuktu and I found more muscles when trying to run to find that field. We made it as they began to play. Several other parents were running with us. That made me feel better. It was just a further drive than we thought and we also hit a detour.
And, as many of you know, my feet are bad and my left one is giving me problems mostly. So, after playing basketball on it and then running and walking so much on Saturday, my foot has been aggravated again. Time to stay off of it for a while.
Well, see, there I go again! I am so good at babbling. I wonder if anyone has read this far. If so, leave me a comment!
