Ok, so I talked my family into going with me to the NKOTB concert. Well, they didn't have a choice. My aunt and daughter and friend were gonna go, but they couldn't so I scooped up the tix for the hubby and kids. Well, I had to haul butt back from South Carolina, pick kids up at school, go home to shower, unpack my car, pack the van, get dinner to go, and get on the road to Richmond. Chaotic taking 3 lil ones with you, but this is MommaP here, I got this!








Well, as we get closer to Richmond, we hit a ton of toll roads. I will admit, I have never hit toll roads in al my recent traveling, so for there to be these types of roads in Richmond, I know we're in a recession. lol. Well, we missed the first one, and hubby is still worried that he's gonna get a ticket or something in the mail for not paying the $0.25 toll. I hope not! Downtown Richmond is really slummy and this is where the arena is. Ugh, horrible.








At the arena we meet up with a friend of ours who actually works with hubby and she had her 3 girls. They were just as excited as I was. We get into the arena get our seats and the show begins. My 8 year old really didn't want to see NKOTB, but he went and I appreciate that. Hubby didn't want to go either. But, both of the guys said the show was good and they were glad they got to experience that with me. Levi and Madelynn had a blast.








Me and Maddy snuck down to B stage where she held up a sign-see the pic-she got lots of winks and waves and blown kisses from all the guys. I was so happy for her! All was well until Donnie started throwing tshirts. These girls went insane, almost knocked me over, I threw Maddy into Eugene's arms, I get elbowed in the forehead, Levi get clotheslined and knocked head first into a chair. We spent the second half of the show in the EMT's office with Levi. He's fine. Just took some Ibuprofen and we went back out to enjoy the rest of the show.








Even though we had a low spot, I'm thankful the kids were able to experience something that I love. I experience so many things they love and now they have gotten to see one of my loves. It's great! I really wish my aunt could have gone with me. I wanted her to see what me and PeeWee were crazy over all those years ago. Summer tour is already calling me!

Ok, I'm going to Greenville, SC on St. Patty's Day

Well, my hubby is pissed. I had a manic moment this morning and decided to buy a ticket to go to Greenville. When I found out last night that Erica was going, then I saw the plans starting to be put into motion and I saw that I was not going to be a part of them. I had a pit in my stomach and I mentioned it to my hubby this morning around 7:30 a.m. He tells me that since the show is on our daughter's 5th bday, I should not go. I should just be satisfied with going to Richmond, VA on the 18th and not worry about going to the Greenville show. Well, I was upset and we argued some. Well, he left for work around 8:30 a.m. and he smiled at me and told me not to worry about it. Well, I emailed my aunt and asked could she drive to Richmond, checked the distance from my house to Greenville, figured out when the bishes were going to be there, put together a plan, and said what the hell and bought my ticket. Well, I texted my bishes and of course they are excited for me to do so. I ...

Why Change????? from January 2008

Ya know, I've been pondering something the last couple of days. Do I really need to change me? One of my bosses seems to think so. Now, don't get me wrong, I really do respect her opinion, but then again, I respect me too. Here's the deal. Yes, I am very loud at times. I do know when to control that. I don't take any shit off of anyone and everyone who knows me knows that. So, I guess that can be considered disrespectful, or is it? I am 29 years old. Up until the age of 23, I really did let people walk all over top of me. I hated high school because of things I had to put up with. Kids are just plain mean. Graduate, start hanging with the wrong crew, who were using me for my car. Get involved with a BOY who is a piece of crap and leaves me pregnant and broke. Ya know, but I rose above ALL of this. Began working my ass off, taking care of my child, met a wonderful man who was willing to step back and let me grow up a lil while he just loved me, and I began to find out wh...
