My older son isn't particularly social -- doesn't run around with friends a lot or put a lot of miles on his car -- but his weekend schedule would make me check into a hospital for fatigue! He's in marching band, which means the fall semester is a pretty hectic time for him. He plays percussion -- tenors -- those five drums that weigh about 40 lb. Coolest thing in the band in my opinion, but how those kids carry them around is beyond me. There are 3 tenors in the band this year, and two of them are girls. If I were wearing a hat, I'd take it off to all of them.
This weekend was typical. Not heavy, not light... typical.
Friday: school all day. Away game in the evening. Somehow they lost his drums in the course of the evening, so Bradley got home around 1:30am (an hour later than anyone else).
Saturday: marching contest. He had to be at school at 7:30am, and the contest was out of town. He wasn't home until after midnight.
Sunday: work from 2 - 6:30pm. At 7:30, he had an info session with Rice University, where he went with his dad. Hopefully he'll be home by 9pm so he can unwind a little.
And this is his break from school. Yay.

Poor Bradley. I still can see him in that froggy outfit he wore that time you came to visit mom's house and I still lived at home. How did he get so big so fast?!
On the jewels - I won't post on that entry b/c it wouldn't be right if I were to happen to win, but I LOVE those earrings!!!
Hey there--
I just came over from the contest list, and had to respond to your header description.
Have you heard of the book The Renaissance Soul by Lobenstine? Seems like it might be right up your alley-- the idea (reality, really) that there are those of us our there that can't imagine having one all-consuming passion.
Try 4. Or 6. Or 12. Yeah: fascinating and overwhelming at the same time. I found the book highly encouraging. The post where I explain it a bit more is here.
In case you're interested in how it helped me. Not that our interests overlapped particularly, just that the *style* sounded very familiar ;o)
Blessings on your day!
