2nd week

Well it is the second week. It is already hot this week and makes me not want to go. Busses already stink but put stinky teenagers on them and let me tell you it isn't fun. At least I get to sit up front and it isn't as bad up there as the rest of the bus. My heart goes out to the parents that go willingly and sit in the middle and the back. I will say I remember when I was high school I loved riding the bus to the things but I always wished my parents would be there so I could ride home with them. It happened a lot but more then not I rode home on a hot loud stinky bus. First world problems right? I was so happy when CD players can out. I am so happy that someone invited MP3 and the podcasts. Then Apple put it all in a phone. Best day ever. Now granted I wasn't involved in the band when all this stuff came into existence. 

So here I sit in my nice cool car until my husband gets back with the bus. I had hoped by the time I got back from the  convenience store he would be here but alas no he isn't. So I sit here waiting. About to go check find my iPhone and see where he is at. 

My hornet Rustic cuff stack. If you have never heard of this amazing company let me know and I will direct you. The one on top was a fundraiser we did with the band. So I go check find my iPhone. 

So I found my husband. When I checked he was still at the bus barn waiting for our bus to get there off of route then I checked out uniforms now I am on the hot bus headed to Pizza Hut to eat. Yum. 

So I didn't eat pizza. I ate a yummy salad and one yes only one breadstick. I am proud of myself. As you can tell we are trying to lose weight. We are going to be successful. I started 3 weeks ago and I have lost a little over 7 lbs. hey that is good considering it is supposed to be healthy to lose 1 to 1.5 a week. I was a little giddy when the scale said that. Well we are back on the road and headed to Nowata for the game. Kids are already complaining about the smallest things. I am trying very hard to not let it get to me. I am going to put the phone down for a bit and read some Outsiders. How is it possible that I live in Oklahoma and even spent time in Tulsa and have never read that book not seen that movie. I bought the book on Amazon today and I am going to try to read it. I am actually excited about it. Plus since it is on my kindle I can't read it on the way home unless I sign into the account on my phone which I might do on the way home. Happy Marching Band Week 2. 

We made it here in one piece. We always do. My husband is an awesome driver so I never feel unsafe while he is driving a bus. Yes it is hot out here and I swear the attitudes are worse when it was hot. I will admit mine was more than likely annoying when I was in band. I was a mouthy teenager at one time with hormones and loved to annoy adults.  Tonight is also going to be long. We are losing right now but I know those boys can pull it out.  

So I had my first mama bear moment of the season. Had some kids in the opposing team stands being rude to some of my kids. So I stood in the way and basically was loud that I would take the rude and not let them be rude to my kids. I was not happy. You don't mess with my kids. There are times that I want to beat their heads together but by we are family and that happens but you don't mess with them. 

Well the football team lost. To see the faces of our kids was so sad. Also I am going to know the words to the Hamilton musical by heart before the season is over. Loudest thing that I enjoy. I really need an awesome pair of headphones. Anyone want to donate to the poor band wife fund to buy new headphones. My broke last year when they got stepped up by the dog. It was my fault that they were on the floor. Plus my dog is fat and a bull in a china cabinet. I love him though. Well it is starting to cool off on the bus and we are expecting rain on the way home.
