Chris's first big out of town adventure without parents is quickly approaching. The Houston High Drumline leaves this Friday afternoon for regional competition in Indianapolis. I think the poor kid's a little nervous, but at least one of his room mates is a good friend and xBox buddy. They won't be back until midnight Sunday. I'll be anxious to see how this goes because he has an overnighter in Nashville at the end of March, three nights in Dayton, Ohio in early April, and the marching band has three or four nights in Orlando in mid April before the music year winds down. There's a concert band performance in early May, but that's fairly low impact compared to drumline and marching band.
Samantha's looking forward to her brother's trip. Yeah, they still fight more than I'd like to see, but everyone tells me that's normal given how close in age they are. Anyway, Sam has a school dance on Friday night (woohoo, Wayne and I get a DATE NIGHT!!!!!), and then on Saturday we're going dress shopping for the MOVERS formal evening etiquette (four course meal and a concert) class, the 8th grade formal dance, and graduation. Should be fun.
Finally, I have a confession to make. I'm really, REALLY missing Kokomo. I always considered myself a cat person while Wayne considered himself a dog person. As luck would have it, Pixel the cat chose Wayne as her person, and Kokomo the golden retriever chose me as her person. Pixel made Wayne a cat person too, and Kokomo made me more of a dog person than I was before. When I was growing up we had an awesome black lab circus puppy (really, she was from a Circus-Circus showdog's litter) named Sandy who got me halfway there, but Kokomo with her sweet disposition, big doggie smiles, and cool treat-catching trick pushed me over the edge. While not having a dog gives us more freedom and mobility, I still miss her. A lot.
