Yesterday I went to Taylor's first pep rally. I am not ashamed to say that sitting in those bleachers, I sooo wanted to go back to high school. I even teared up. I was a band nerd, through and through. I am not athletic. Can't play any sport, pretty much don't want to. But I could play the clarinet. I was pretty darn good if I do say so myself. I loved being part of something like the band. In Whitehouse, the band was it. Our football team sucked, but the band....we ROCKED!
I can remember the excitement of the football game, of marching on the field. Watching Taylor starting all that, I really can't describe how I feel. I understand the mothers who live vicariously through their kids. I wanted to walk over there where the band was sitting and be a part of that again. I took Kam with me to the pep rally and she hated it. She hates loud noises and pep rally's are loud. They are supposed to be :) She cried, put her hands over her ears and finally went to sleep.
In going to the rally it made me think. I hope that Taylor and Colton thoroughly enjoy their school years. Once you get out, nothing ever compares to it again. I did not have an exceptionally great high school career. I wasn't popular, but I did have great friends and had a wonderful time in school. I would not trade any of it (well except I would try to do better grade wise) I had an absolute blast.
Ok so nostalgia is over. I can go back to being a grown up and working now *ugh*
