My Single Mom Life

I called the arena where the graduation is going to be on Saturday to find out whether or not I'm allowed to bring a pillow or cushion with me to sit on, and a bottle of water or soda so I can take my pain meds if I need to.
The ceremony begins at 9am and ends at 1pm.
The graduation is going to be 4 hours long because they have something like 950 students graduating, and each student was given 5 tickets for family and friends, so there will be about 2,000+ people in the arena on Saturday.
While the arena is air conditioned, they admit that once you put that many people in there, it tends to get a "bit warm."
That's a direct quote from the girl I spoke to when I called the arena.
The girl did not know if I can bring anything with me, so she told me to call the school.

I called the school and spoke to the guy in charge of the graduation, and he said that I can bring a pillow and something to drink, that I may get stopped by security, but to just tell them or show them any proof of my disability/need for the items, and it won't be a problem.

He also told me that they have special seating for people with disabilities and can't climb the stairs.
But it's first come, first serve, so if I want to be in one of those special seats, I need to drop Mark off at 7:30 when they students have to be there, and then just wait until the doors open at 8am in order to get one of those seats.
Definitely need to bring my meds and be ready for a long day, but it will be worth it.

Mark just got back from picking up his cap and gown and the tickets.
I need to get him to try it on and take his picture.
I am so proud of him.
