We hosted a band competition on Saturday. Preparations were intense, everyone had lots of things to do. I was there from 11AM to 11:30PM, with a break for lunch, then the kids had a sleepover afterwards. I stayed and chatted with another mom for a while. Sunday I was slightly better than walking dead. Tonight is rehearsal for Audrey, helping with Bingo for me, then tomorrow is a parents’ meeting, Wednesday is rehearsal again, Friday is a football game, and Saturday is a competition.

I’ve never gotten excited about the approach of Thanksgiving until this year.
