My oldest son (11) started band this year. He is playing the Sax. Just in case you are wondering, this is the most expensive instrument in the band $2700.00 yes I did put all those zeros in on purpose. Tonight was his first band concert. He was scared to death. But he di d an amazing job and that MOMMY PRIDE was glowing.
My youngest son (7) is extremely noise sensitive. He screams and crys when you mention the movie theatre or ANYTHING band related (we found out the hard way when we took him for his brothers band sign ups and the high school band did a little playing). What to do with the baby??? My brother usually keeps him but he wanted to go to the band concert. My Mom was working and we really don't have anymore family here. AGAIN, what to do with the baby?
-Sidetrack for just a moment. I am not a big truster. I don't have very many people that I let in to ME. I have my friend MJ who's been with me for 19 years and my husband who has been with me for 22 years. That's about it until..... about a year ago, I started working for a company (left my job of 18 years where I worked with MJ) and had already decided I was not going to get close to anyone there because for the most part in my mind, no one was real and no one actually cared. It took me about a month then I started to realize that these people acted liked they cared and I was very confused as to the realness to it. I did learn over time that they acutally cared for me and as time went on I grew to really truly LOVE these people - The Boss, his wife KC, his aunt Beboo and another lady that worked there Bob(I acutally surprised myself). Due to the economy, the business closed and I feared this love and trust was short lived. I thought that they as everyone before them would just leave. SURPRISE, they didn't. I can say that these people have replaced a very sad emptiness in my heart with TRUST, LOVE and COMPASSION. It's funny I have only known them for a year yet the closeness I feel with them seems like it has just always been there. I will return to my other story. (Stay with me, I promise to tie all this together)
What to do with the Baby? I called Beboo and told her my delima, she said she would be happy to keep the baby while we went to the band concert. So, we took the baby over there and he was really excited. Bob was there and so was her son. IT WAS GREAT. I can honestly say that I never worried about him once. I enjoyed my oldest sons 1st band concert and when we went to pick the baby up, he didn't want to leave. THANK YOU LORD FOR BRINGING THESE AMAZING PEOPLE INTO MY LIFE. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO OPEN MY HEART TO THEM. THANK YOU FOR LETTING THEM BE THE SUPERGLUE I NEEDED TO FIX MY BROKEN HEART. THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL TEST RESULTS THAT KC WILL GET ON TUESDAY.
In referance to the above prayer for KC. This amazing Friend, Mom, Wife, Sister, Daughter, Aunt ect... she has found a lump in one of her breasts, she will be visiting the boob smasher machine on Tuesday, please send your love and healing thoughts and prayers her way.
