Monday post:
Today, I played hookie from school (well, the principal knew what I was doing). Matt, Joy (his mom) and I went to the school to be with Meghan. You see, the Burnet High School band made state rankings and they wanted to see where they actually ranked. We traveled with the band (in charter buses) to San Antonio to the Alamodome.
Throughout the day, twenty school bands played to see who would continue on to the top seven later in the evening. Just as an FYI, Burnet had made it to state before, but they have never ranked in the top seven. They played at 3:45 and they were awesome (as usual). After they played we watched a few other bands who actually were a bit better than Burnet. I hate to say that, but I will give kudos where kudos are due.
Burnet did end up playing again. They were one of the top seven!!! By eight o'clock though, I was getting a headache and had nothing to take. However, they didn't make the top three bands. *frowns* But they placed seventh out of eight hundred bands in the state of Texas. We left San Antonio around 10:30ish. We got into the charter buses and on the way home, they decided to play the movie "Sweeney Todd." It's not a good movie to play when one is tired and just wants to sleep and try to get rid of a headache.
Tuesday Nov. 4:
We got home at 1:30 AM. By the time we got home, it was 1:45. I went directly to the pantry, got medicine (high powered) and took it then went to bed.
I woke this morning with a migraine. I'm starting to hate these things. I called in for a substitute today at 6:00 in the morning and made sure that the kids were up and about before I moved back to bed and slept the majority of the day.
Around 9:45, I did wake, dress and vote on our elections. I don't know where the world is going to, but I just hope that we, as a nation, can come to grips with what we do and who we elect into office. I just pray that we are all ready for whatever the outcome will be.
I talked with a few friends this afternoon that were online and they kept me company for a little bit, but finally told me to rest. So, I did. And I dreamed. I dreamed of someone holding me close as I slept, keeping me safe from whatever evil was about and who loved me. He kissed my head and held me ever so close, caressing my face as I slept. He watched over me... and I was content.
My head though is better. Still achy, but if I sleep much more today I'll have an issue with sleeping tonight. I will just keep my thoughts on being kept safe, warm and secure.
Until tomorrow...
MJ
