Weekends are supposed to be the times when I catch up on sleep and chores and get cleaned up and organized again, but I haven't had that opportunity yet. This week is absolutely insane. Today, I painted a "Welcome Band Parents" banner for the band meeting tomorrow night and then I had to hurry home and get all prettied up for my first Cotillion meeting (which went very well and I am extremely excited for the year). Tomorrow I've got work after school, then the band meeting, and then I'm leaving early from that to go to the Dave Matthews concert. Wednesday is open house and I finally get a breather on Thursday, where all I'll have is work. And y'all wonder why I'm always so tired or pre-occupied. Updates: Band is going well; we're cleaning drill set by set and brainstorming ideas to make people further understand what it is they are supposed to be doing. Kris and I are doing quite well. It's been ten days exactly and it's felt like a year. Waking up so early has never been so easy because as I walk into the bandroom I can hear him drumming, and when I walk across the field, I can see him marching, and when I have my back to him, I can always expect the surprise of his arms suddenly wrapping around me. Still enjoying school, particuarly English. Photography kinda sucks, but I'm hoping for the best. Ciao to all my pals I haven't seen or spoken to in a while, I promise that I'm doing my hardest to find time to see you all, it's just been really difficult. But rest assured, I still love you and I miss you! Carrie
