band concerts and band aids

Do you ever feel like you need to just say something....like get it over with already...go ahead and rip the band aid off??

I HATE BAND....
truth be known I am a bit southern minded and I can somehow jam to a repetitive country song about beer and suntanned girls but for some reason when a band starts playing songs like Beethoven etc. I just want to pull out my cellphone and play candy crush....so sue me

So my son played last night in his schools band Christmas concert and I saw my father in law glance my way and I smiled, he leaned in...and what he said well...was "if this is what it sounds like it's going to be a long night." I didn't know just how much truth there was to that statement, so they started with the 6th grade and there was my son cute as a button but clapping, really? clapping? if I am paying for an instrument why the heck is my son clapping?  3 songs later and a little jingle bells and it was over.. There I was looking over at my mother in law asking if it would be rude of me to leave..as I'm sure you guess she said yes so on we go to the 7th grade, then then the 8th grade and as sad as it is I swear the further they go the worse it is, and finally a few solos and Christmas songs later and it's over whew.......I survived!

So now you wondering what my point in all of this is, well there is some good news!!

My son hates band as well, to bad it took him 6 months to figure that out, I mean that is 6 payments on 2 different instruments just to decided band isn't for him and just enough to make me have to sit through a Christmas band concert!

Isn't it ironic how much we do for our kids that we don't want to and sometimes even despise? I'll give all the money in the world just to make sure my munchkins are happy!!!

But THANK GOD we are back to being a baseball family....at least for now!

So here is a weird angled picture of my boys after this un-cheerful Christmas band concert that I speak of.

So....this is my first entry.

You will come to find that I'm somewhat....weird.....no quirky, yeah quirky that's a good word.  I'm a creature of habit, set in my ways some might say, let's just say it comes from small town childhood epidemic, and yes I consider growing up in a small town to be an epidemic, a quite deadly one to be honest. Although it can be very nurturing. But that's another story for another day!!

Well I guess you just learned something else about me I'm a bit random and seem to get a little off topic. Maybe I have ADHD or simply to much caffeine who knows...but any who....

A bit about me I Guess:

I'm a momma to 2 girls and a boy.(Ty 11, Ashley 10, and Kassidy 3)
Wife to an amazing man with a heart of gold(more on him later:))
I wear a  hardhat and boots everyday(now you're wondering what I do)
.....I'm a branch manager for a staffing agency which specializes in construction staffing
I adore the color pink, monograms, and  caffeine
I'm constantly chasing 2 things in my life...organization and fitness(both of which you will bare witness to)
Polka dots and stripes make me weak in the knees,
Mason Jars and sweet tea are a must......
and in the event you see a rocking chair on a front porch I just might be in it!

So here is my crew.....
