My son the Rockstar!

So Kornfan's band had their very first gig last saturday night. They were the intermission band and only played 3 songs but thats still great!! He told me later it was unreal the rush you get on stage and people are screaming for you. I asked him if it was like being high, and he paused and said....nooooo.....I think he thought I was trying to trick him into revealing whether he has ever been high or not haha. Maybe I was, but it was subconcious if I did. Stuffgirl went and forgot her camera so I got was a cell phone pic ( I admit I cried some because there was another first my kids had that I couldn't go to, i would have done anything to be there. If he had given me more notice I would have been there). Even his sister raved about how good they were. He does this trick, he puts his guitar (yes its his graduation present I gave him last year) behind his head and plays it, and Stuffgirl said the crowd went wild when he did it! No doubt about it, I am a proud mom. He did have bad news last week though, he was laid off at work. Not by the union but the company he was apprenticing with. The union has assured him that in the spring when business picks up he will more than enough work. He is was low on seniority so he was the first to be cut.

Now, my Saturday I went out of my way to go to the bargain grocery store again. You really save money but the crowds were unreal. Anyway, the guy was bagging my groceries and I noticed they had paper bags and I asked for the paper bags. He HANDED me 3 paper bags, asked if that was enough and continued bagging my groceries in the plastic bags!!! Maybe I need better communication skills because I wanted my groceries IN the paper bags, now I killed trees AND made more landfill plastic crap.
