So little man joined the band at our middle school. He picked percussion, passed the percussion test last week, and today we went to Roydon Music to rent a percussion kit for him, as well as the two books on the list. Had to get the instrument and the books, and a name tag, according to the paperwork I brought with me from the middle school parent information band meeting a few nights ago. Band is new to me - Rachel did chorus in elementary school & middle school, doesn't do it in high school...and Chloe is in chorus in elementary school this year. Brendan has never participated in anything musical. Band is new to me. I don't play an instrument. My husband played a horn, not sure which one, at his middle school and/or high school. So I dragged him along with me, David, and Rachel to Roydon Music to figure it out. Chloe was at her bff's house on play date. Brendan is with his mom this weekend.
Turns out renting an instrument from now 'till May/June would cost us about $180. They sold us a rental turn in for $220. So we are now proud owners of a percussion kit, including snare drum. Guess what I listened to for two hours after we purchased the kit? Most of it was Daddy, not David. But it's cool.
After that, went to Advanced Auto Store, is that the name? The place where you buy auto parts yourself. Taillight and blinker out on rear right side on van. Stephen checked fuses, they're good, so he bought a bulb for it. Then home to have lunch & watch Hallmark movies while Rachel cleaned her room to get ready to go to her bff's house for a party/sleepover.
Of course, Rachel wanted to drive. Nope, didn't fix taillight yet. Sorry, my beautiful daughter. I get enough "turn your fucking blinker on" looks from drivers myself, not putting you in that position. Hope to have it replaced tomorrow. She gets to meet bff's boyfriend tonight. She is THRILLED. Hope she doesn't embarrass Kirsten TOO much.
Saw my bestie, got my Saturday hug from bestie (my bestie is Rachel's bff's mom), and headed to Publix. My Saturdays are SO exciting. Stephen not feeling well, so grabbed an easy dinner, came home, and now he's watching a Batman movie while I just tucked in little man & baby girl. Will do cheese, sausage, & crackers in a few with him while we watch another movie. Just couldn't get into this Batman movie. Not sure why. Probably because I self analyze and my brain works in overdrive constantly. Can't just sit and enjoy a movie. Hoping another glass of Pinot Grigio will help me watch the next one...
So there it is...my Saturday. Tomorrow will be equally as exciting.
