Some things that make going to a concert like this different in one's late 30s as compared to early 20s:
1. The already mentioned inability to make it all the way through the concert...no matter how good it is.
2. Getting completely skeeved when the hem of my jeans touches the ground in the ladies room (not to mention what my butt is sitting on)
3. Not having the bladder control anymore to make it through the entire concert without having to go to the bathroom...
4. Thinking all evening about how much my back hurts because we've been standing for 2 - 3- 4 hours but then heaving a sigh of relief that at least I haven't been holding a kid or two on my hip as well.
5. Only drinking ONE beer (which kinda goes back to # 2 and 3)
6. Being preoccupied all evening that the girl behind me was about to puke in my hood.
7. The realization that I don't know what 1/2 the stuff written on the bathroom stalls means, kinda like text messaging or IM lingo.
8. Having to text a reminder to my kid at home that he needs to put eye drops in his eyes before bed.
9. There is a 9 but I can't really post it since this is a family blog - but it has to do with the post-concert activities, or lack-thereof...

So today we were tired and the kids were tired because they stayed up later than usual since Aunt Margie was watching them. Ella and Si didn't go to the sitter today because her son Ryan was ill so they spent the day at home with me. Ella played dress up and tea party quite a bit of the day.
And Silas was exhausted and took a 3 1/2 hour nap so I actually got a lot of work done.Tonight is my first scrapbooking/stampin'up club at my neighbor's (our old house). We will meet monthly for 6 months and make cute stuff :)
