It seems that everytime that I need a light bulb, I don’t have any here. So it would be nice to have extras on hand for when they are needed. Of course, if I bought a bunch of light bulbs where would I put them? Since they are very fragile, I would need a good out of the way place to store them and I don’t have a lot of storage space. But I get so aggraviated when I need a light bulb and don’t have one. That’s just a little pet peeve of mine. Well, it’s late…so good night.
I hope everyone has a good week.

Another Friday night and another loss for the football team. I feel really bad for them but at least they go out there every week and try. The band did good (or at least I think they did but you know I am a band mom). Some of the people on the opposing team were really rude especially the announcer. In my opinion he should be replaced. Between the third and fourth quarter, the opposing team had some kind of ceremony or announcement (it was senior night and they had already had a ceremony pre-game and another ceremony during half-time) and our band had been playing not realizing that they were having another ceremony….honestly. So after the ceremony, the announcer said over the PA system that he would like to thank our band for playing during their ceremony. That statement upset a lot of our band parents….not to mention our band director. So after the game (and after we performed since we were told that we had to play post-game), the other band director and some of his band parents stopped us in the parking lot and said that the announcer sent his sincere apologies for making that statement. So I guess it’s all good and since this is Krista’s senior year I guess we won’t be playing there anymore. At least not until wrestling season and that starts next week.
Yes, wrestling practice starts on Monday for Zach. This is what he’s been working toward since he was 4 years old (that’s when he started wrestling). I mean, wrestling for the high school (it just seems unreal that my little boy is in high school…oh well, another story another time). He got his physical Thursday and got all the forms that the school requires along with the special form saying that he is healthy to wrestle. The school seems to think that he is underweight (his BMI is too low). Anyway, he’s been to the wrestler’s meeting with the coaches, got his physical, and the form for the team’s fundraiser….so he is ready!! The fundraiser is a Lift-A-Thon…which is that he (well, we) get sponsors to either pledge (like 5 cents a pound) or a flat donation. Then on Nov. 14th, they will have the Lift-A-Thon and there each wrestler will bench press as much weight as they can and his sponsors that pledged will pay whatever they pledged per pound times how many pounds that he bench presses. I think this fundraiser will be great. Well, enough said about wrestling. You’ll be hearing enough from me when the season starts….I can’t wait! I love this sport!!!

Sometimes I wish we had better health insurance. I work for a small company and it seems like the cost is higher and the benefits are not that great for us. I think maybe if I worked for a larger company with more members maybe the insurance coverage would be better and cheaper. And starting in January, most of the doctors in my local area will not be accepting my insurance. That means I’ll have to be finding a new doctor. I found this website for North Carolina health insurance, I wished Georgia had something like that. I might would just get my own insurance and then I could drop the coverage through my employer. Oh, well. I sometimes wish we had coverage like in Canada but then I have heard that it’s not so great. What’s your opinion??

I know I’ve said this before, but we need a new Internet company…We currently have ours through the phone company, but they still live in the dark ages when a telephone line was required to have Internet service. I’d soon just not have a landline since it rings ALL DAY LONG! We always let it go to the answering machine, and 90% of the time it’s an annoying telemarketer…We are thinking about trying a satellite internet provider, but nothing’s set in stone yet…
