Oh, the things we do for our kids! Saturday was the day of the band competition hosted by our school. Lots to do, much rushing around, and of course I had made enough cookies to feed an army. I came into the school holding them in one large metal tray, and as I made my way through the doorway, the corner of the heavy steel door smashed into the back of my hand, sandwiching it with the metal tray. Ouchies.
Of course, I then stayed until the competition was over, and took the band daughter home before heading to the emergency room. Lucky for me, the hospital had a minor emergency department (which was just about to close) so I was in and out in no time. Nothing’s broken, but I’m in a splint for a couple of days.
Good thing the metal splinter I got under my fingernail on the right hand doesn’t hurt too much. Got that moving band equipment on Friday. Marching Band is one heck of a dangerous activity!

Oh my! Hope you are beginning to heal!!
Haven’t been here to “see” you in quite some time – thought I would pop in.
I went the marching band route for years – Shawna was color guard captain for three years, and in guard for two years before that. Maggie was in for two years as well, dropped out, but is considering winter guard this year. I sometimes miss the band parents and the fun of game and competetion set ups!
Anyway, hope you are doing fine, along with the girls and hubby-dude.
We’re pluggin’ along here – have a new child in the house since Jan. – my step-daughter Sean now lives with us. She’s a problem child with lots of issues and we’re working hard with her.
I just had major surgery in July – hysterectomy. But I’m healing ok and slowly getting back to “me”.
Write when you can!
My love to all…
