Honor Band, Day 1

Korra came home from the first day of Honor Band (at 8:30pm) absolutely exhausted. She missed most of the school day yesterday due to the high school visit and her orthodontist appointment. She missed most of today and she'll miss all of tomorrow. 

I arrived home from the high school parent meeting feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and sad (how is my baby old enough to go to high school?!). This high school is amazing and has so many opportunities for Korra, but it's also full of wealthy, entitled, and privileged people, which made even the parent meeting feel competitive and alienating. We have to request Korra's class at exactly 8pm tomorrow (while her honor band performance might still be going on) or she might not get into her preferred classes.  Trying not to worry about it too much, And not succeeding. I'm very thankful tomorrow is Friday and that once the band concert is over, the bad winter weather that's predicted will keep us at home, relaxing in our pajamas, all weekend.
