Busy Saturday

Yet another hectic, non-stop kind of Saturday for me... of course, we got to bed super-late last night because of the lock-in, and I had to get up super-early and get Erica to swim practice by 7 AM **and** had to pick up Martha from the lock-in. I got back home and managed to squeeze in another hour of sleep, then took a shower and headed for St. Charles to do another SoulFire concert. It was fun, as usual (it's always fun playing with these guys). Afterwards, I had Romansroad practice, because there's a Romansroad concert this coming weekend. Got home from practice and fixed Erica's hair for the homecoming dance, then left for the dance myself. Chaperoning the dance is fun, but not when I'm tired. I snuck out early, since they all seemed to be behaving themselves, relatively speaking of course. I did see one guy at the dance who I'm pretty sure is a local drug kingpin. I don't know who he came with, but if I ever found out that my high-school-age daughter was showing up at a dance with the likes of this creep... if she even so much as KNOWS who this kind of person is... well, let's just say there wouldn't be a shred of tolerance. It's too bad people don't seem to care who their daughter goes to the dance with AND what their daughter is wearing, for that matter. Most of it was tasteful and pretty, but there were some serious hoochie-mamas in da house. I'm looking at some of these little girls and thinking, Honey, where is your mother and why did she let you leave the house looking like that? Yecccchhh.
