Importance of timing

Thursday I picked up Boaz and headed to Corona deal Mar for Josh's track meet. Josh called me as I was searching for a parking spot. He was ready to run his mile. He ran it while I still sought a place to park. 

When we got to the track, Craig was there to tell me what I had missed. Josh ran a good race. We had thought he had improved his time, but he was one second off his time. He was so mad. 

I was there for his 800. He took 5 seconds off his previous personal record. He lead for the last 300 meters. I screamed as loud as I could so he could hear me. 

The next day he had a band concert in Walnut - up the 5 to the 57. I got caught in rush hour(s) traffic. 

Josh only played one song. I got there just after that song and got to listen to the orchestra. Our school's orchestra is excellent. 

The school "hosting" the event charged $25.00. I was not aware or prepared. I had $21.00. They didn't take credit card and I didn't have a check. They took pity on me and said if I had a relative playing it was only $10. 

Our orchestra was way better than the main event. I ended up leaving at intermission. 

But I just missed my son two time in two days. Not good. I need to be better. 

Major milestone

He came home from school with broken glasses. Tape was holding a lens in the frame. I broke down and called Americas Best and set an appointment for today. His best friend has contacts, and his glasses have been misshapen for months. 

It took him about five minutes to learn to put them in. I should have taken a picture of the process, but this is the result. 

He can see!

And then sometimes mom is awesome. We hit Pizza Pie Cafe for dinner. 

Boaz was happy too. A good reward for being dragged around on Josh's errand day.
