Band Night

 Last night we joined the town under the Friday night lights where the middle school band joined the high school marching band.  Brianna started playing clarinet in the 4th grade but I am not sure if this is something she plans to stick with.   After last night she has been talking about joining the marching band.  For some time she talked about joining colorguard, something I had done for a few years in high school, or the cheer team.  With having a full dance and competitive dance schedule I told her the choice is limited.  

It was fun watching her join in and have a good time.  My son hung out in the student section in his Hawaiian shirt, which was the theme for the night.  

Today Matthew is playing a baseball double header far away and Brianna is at dance rehearsal.  I'm not able to make the games and that makes me very sad.  I'm so proud of my kids and all they are involved in but somedays my husband and I have to split directions so each kid has at least one parent with them.  I don't like to miss my son play but I need to stay close for when it's time to pick my daughter up.  Every day has been busy.  So, I'm spending the day cleaning house and nursing a headache.  

To those who left a comment in my last post, I thank you.  I'm faced with a lot of tough situations right now and it's definitely a tough season but I know it all has a purpose and we will get passed it at some point.  The hardest part of being a parent is watching my kids struggle.  Seeing my son unhappy and teary eyed on the way to school, seeing how he's not properly interacting socially with others, and not knowing how to heal him from migraines and eye ticks is just a lot.  Life isn't easy and my children are finding that out.  They may think I don't understand their pain, and maybe I don't always do, but I want them to know I am on their side and I will always be beside them guiding and fighting for them.
