Normally, Labor Day weekend is fairly unscheduled and overall rather relaxing. Of course there were many years when school began the Tuesday following and I was always a little sad about that, but it was still relatively relaxing. This weekend is NOT one of those weekends.
Tonight is the first high school football game and it's a home contest. I should be there both as the band boosters treasurer, and as the mother of a marcher, but that isn't going to happen. Thomas is back at school today, but does not need to be out running around at the game and up late. I am expecting that Andrew (who stats for the games) and Robert will be home in the 10-10:30 range.
Tomorrow morning one of us has to be OUT THE DOOR at 6:30AM in order for Robert to catch the cross country bus. The rest of us need to be out by 8AM in order to make it to his meet. We are leaving directly from his meet to travel east to visit my in-laws as Tuesday is my mother-in-law's 75th birthday. We are first making a quick stop at my grandmother's house so that Robert can shower. We will arrive sometime around dinner Saturday evening.
Sunday morning is church at 8:30AM, and having all of us ready to be out the door at 8 again is going to be no small task. That evening will be dinner with family. Monday we have to be on the road absolutely no later than 10AM so that we can make sure we are back in plenty of time for Robert's marching band practice.
I'll be honest, we are tired. Andrew has picked up extra hours (and a few extra dollars) by being a site manager for extra-curricular events at the school. Last evening he didn't get home until 9:30, and since Robert had band practice until 8:30, he was there with him. Robert is beginning to understand why we have not been gung ho for him to join all of these activities that interest him...he needs to get a better grasp on what high school is really like first.
So, all-in-all, it's going to be a busy weekend, but hopefully a happy one. More than anything I pray for safe travels!
