tomorrow, hallie, mackenzie and i embark on a trip to see one direction in concert. in chicago. at soldier field.
i'm one part terrified, three parts pumped.
if you had asked me yesterday morning, i would have been three parts terrified, one part pumped.
you see, i've never been to soldier field. i was all out of sorts about where to stay, park, how to get there, etc. i mean, i was still super organized and all systems were a go, but i was still really nervous about how it was all going to go down.
the original plan was pretty awesome, but got squashed, which is fine.
so then came a hotel, a paid parking spot downtown and a MILE WALK for me and two eight-year-old girls. one of whom is used to going to bed happily at eight o'clock. so a mile walk there at five pm = easy. a mile walk after the show at ten thirty pm = hell. for everyone. but it had to be done and it could be done and it will be FINE and OH DID I MENTION THE FORECAST LOOKS CRAPPY? just sayin'.
so out of the blue yesterday, my BFF betsy texts me to see if it was the st. louis concert we had attended, but no, we didn't (school night). so i wrote her back and just lamented a bit about how much easier that would have been because i KNOW st. louis. easy. so easy. but again, a school night.
one complain-y text from me to her. that's all.
fast forward a few hours later, i magically had a free place to stay less than half a mile from the stadium and a free parking spot. what?
I CANNOT EVEN DESCRIBE MY LOVE FOR YOU BETSY BRASS. so much love.
and my stress level has diminished dramatically and is now replaced with super excitement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
