LauraBeth, I'm frustrated. That's why I've turned to this site for some advice. Obviously I am concerned about my daughter's feelings and how my frustration could affect her that's why I titled my post "Am I Being a Sour Grape?". And if you think I'm being one that is fine. Again, that is why I asked the question here. I'm sorry if I scared you in some way. For the most part I'm an easy going person. In fact some people over the years have accused me of being too passive throughout my life. I guess I was just so burned by what I've witnessed in the past that my frustration has caused me to question what I do in the future when it comes to these awards ceremonies.
