The Life Of MommaP, As Told By MommaP.

On May 29, I went to NKOTBSB in Baltimore, MD with some awesome Blockheads. I was blessed to have a friend who purchased my ticket and invited me along. I had the best time. I didn't get my pic snapped with any of them this time, but I did get to see some of them and saw an awesome show. The highlight of my time was meeting Rob Lewis. He is the musical director extrodinaire behind NKOTBSB. The whole show was a mash up of both groups. But, also a mash up of old school melody/new school melodies placed with NKOTB and BSB lyrics. I was in awe how the music and show came together so awesomely. I'm still in shock! I go back to watching the videos daily. My hats off to you Rob. I know it was not only the work of Rob, but of all the other band members, crew members, managers, and of course NKOTBSB. They opened the show with Single/The One that was set to the melody of One Republic. AWESOME!!!! I think that Joe Mac had something to do with this. His always been rock ...

The video above is a song that has become an anthem in my life over the last couple of weeks. As the year of 2010 comes to a close, all I can say is: "Thanks be to God!" God has brought me through the storm and I am here to tell the tale of this year. It has been a rough year for my entire family and I'm ready for 2011 to be here so that I can start anew. In 2010, my family has experienced: a 9 month unemployment, a separation of a dear family member from us, soap opera like drama from said family member, job loss on my part, struggles to balance work and home when work was necessitated and took over home life, growing pains from our family, a death, and hubby and I went through a rough patch where I thought he and I would not make it. All this said, I am here to write about it and say we made it through. I want to use this blog to vent, rant, and get all of 2010 off my chest so I can move forward fresh in 2011. In 2010, I started a new job in January as a travel nu...

Lately I have not been posting on here as I should be. Life has been so hard these past 6 months. I wonder constantly if I am doing things right, am I doing enough, and am I loving my family enough. I can answer the questions like this: I may not do things right, but I do them as to what's best for my family and myself in the moment. Life has a way of throwing curve balls, bowling balls, bricks, etc. Agree much? I do. I can honestly say that as I have matured in my body and life, I have learned what life is about and surrounded myself with those friends and family that mean the most to me. Granted, there are some family members I wish would be around me more, but I have done all I can, the rest is up to God. Yes, this sounds like another ranting blog, but that's the title of this blog so freakin get over it!!!! Yesterday, I went to the funeral of a very dear family member. This person was not my blood, but he was family to me. He was my son's step grandfather. ...

I never even posted a blog on Memphis! I can't believe I didn't! I had such a great time there. I met a lot of great girls, ran into Jessee McCartney at my hotel, saw a lot of things I have never seen before, and finally did a NKOTB meet and greet. It was a week I will never forget! Starts out that Shannon and I decide to go, so she drives up from Charlotte, NC to my house in VA and we roll out to Tennessee. We stop in Blountville, TN at a Sonic. Our waitress had big blonde southern hair and Shannon ordered a banana. Of course, I tweeted it! We then picked up Mary Beth and Savannah and off to Nashville. We decided to stop in Nashville because of the long drive to Memphis. We tour ed the down town area and see all the sights and sounds that is Nashville. I got inappropriate with Elvis, we saw the Batman building downtown, and ate at Hard Rock Cafe after a looong day and evening on the road. But, I forgot the best part. My hubby didn't want me painting up the van with all ki...

As I post this blog, I'm reminded of the Reba McIntyre song: "Is There Life Out There?" This song is about a woman who married young, had children, and is wondering is there more to life than home, work, husband and kids. Well, the past year has been an awesome year for me. I have done lots of traveling, had some of my dreams come true. But, I realize there is nothing more important that family. Family keeps you grounded, family is there no matter what, and family always takes you back with open arms. From October 2, 2008 till July 2, 2009, I attended 6 NKOTB shows. They were so wonderful! I felt as though I added a piece to the puzzle of me. The puzzle of life that is still being put together. Each show added one of those pieces. I have met some amazing women, saw some amazing things, gotten to travel and see new places, 3 a.m. McDonald's runs, etc. I have had amazing times. Now, I've had some people say they wouldn't arena stalk and sit outside ...
