The Nightmares Continue......

Okay, you would think that after being out of school for 20 + years, that I would no longer be traumatized by certain school things, namely band. Horrid flashbacks came back to mind earlier in the week when Ryan brought home paperwork to be in the 5th grade band. The worst part was when he indicated what instrument he was interested in playing. I asked him about other instruments, but to no avail. He had his mind made up. I was holding out some hope that his band teacher would have him play something different, but when another paper came home, it also had his instrument of choice written down. So, this morning, we went to the music store to pick up the instrument that he will be lugging around and tormenting and torturing the rest of the family with. And with our luck, he will become quite proficient and we will have to endure years and years of Ryan's entertainment.
