As I am sitting here typing this the time on the clock beside me says 10:20 p.m.
Now, I tell you that to set the stage for what is about to take place in our lives. Craziness? You decide. Scott is at this very moment driving to the bus barn to take our place in line for Lufkin Panther season tickets. Okay, let me back up. Bailey is in the band. She will be in the 8th grade this year. Next year, God willing and the creek don't rise, (haha) she will be marching with the Panther Band. Now, I knew at some point that this time would come someday; because being good parents we want to support our children in all that they do in life. This includes marching in the band. We don't have season tickets. Okay, what I did not know and some of you might not; is that LISD decided that this year they would make the entire home side of Panther stadium reserved seating and the only general admission tickets would be on the visitor's side. So, who wants to watch your kid perform from that side I ask? Not us. So...... we decided this would be our time to get the coveted tickets. We got the heads up that even though they wouldn't go on sale officially until 7am, folks would be in line early. Man, was that an understatement. We drove by after church, just to "scope it out" and there were at least 20 people in line already. Scott said that he read on some message board that one man planned to be in line by 1:00 this afternoon!!! I don't know about anybody else but that just seems crazy!! I mean, I have gotten into line early before but NEVER that early. I once got in line at Kmart at 3am but that was for a $10.oo scooter that Bailey had her heart set on for Christmas. And I did save almost $60.00. But I'm giving money to LISD for goodness sake. Alot of money.
I am going to try to get a few hours sleep now, since my shift in the line starts at 2am. So, I ask you..... does that make me crazy? Never mind, don't answer that.
