It’s beginning to look a lot like……….
Really?
The stores have had Christmas music playing for weeks; they have had
decorations up for several months, really?
Give us, the consumers a break!
I, for one, was not out shopping the day after Thanksgiving, nor the
night before…… God bless those that did…
Speaking of Thanksgiving, with the sadness of a
life slipping away, our dinner had that underlying quietness that comes from
the unknown. And it is, unknown. We do not know our days on this earth, only
that they are numbered. What we have
should be gratitude of having all of us together for that special day. And we were.
Just looking down the long tables watching everyone eat and laugh and
smile warmed my heart. My grandkids made
this so special. My new daughter in law
and of course my sweet daughter… Only one missing was the evil one (ok, that is
harsh) that chose to stay away (SIL) and believe me, that was fine. Take away is being grateful for today.
So, another crazy thing going on………. Granddaughter
plays in her hs band and has for several years.
They have done so many fund raisers I can’t even count. They are so excited about a trip in a few weeks
to Tampa Florida to play at the Outback Bowl.
Now, here is the ugly truth. The
band director is an ass. Seems he has
been “helping’ himself to the ‘funds’.
Best speculation is between 6-10,000 dollars missing. He has resigned and now been arrested for the
theft. That, while is part of it, will
not return the $$ for these kids. The
boosters are helping and the school board is kicking in as well so hopefully
they will enjoy the trip, the fun stuff (Disney world) and play their hearts
out at the game. They deserve it! He has lost his job, the community respect
and I suppose his own dignity over all this.
Oh and he did admit to having an alcohol problem. YA THINK!
So, we slide into the last month of the year and
the fastest paced one as well. Everyone
rushing here and there. HMM, HMM… Slow
down folks enjoy the moment. I know I am
trying too.
