We live in a big football town. Everyone loves High School football here. This weekend is Homecoming weekend and the High School has a huge assembly today to boost the spirit before the game tonight. All the kids were instructed to wear their school colors, which are red and black. When I pulled up in front of the school, every kid was wearing red and black in some form. I noticed a certain buzz of excitement while everyone walked into school. There was a large group of kids tailgating in the student parking. They had a grill on the back of a pickup truck and were grilling hotdogs. How fun is that??
When I was in High School, there were the cool kids, and the not so cool kids, and no one ever mingled. Nothing has changed since then. But for today, it doesn't matter if they are a football player or the nerdiest kid in school; they all feel the same way. They love their school, and want to show their school spirit.
P.S. I will let you know how the dance goes for Taylor tomorrow night. She is going with a few girlfriends. So far we have only had one minor meltdown involving the hair appointment, which was rectified shortly after. If you read my earlier post on her O.C.D. problem, you will appreciate how miraculous that is.
