Listen All Y'all It's Sabotage

So we went to see the Beastie Boys on Monday. That was pretty cool. Especially cool if you like coming home with about fifty different people's DNA on you. They were good though. The dog show was a spectacle. The opening rapper guy was annoying. Very cool to get to actually shake my rump on cue and not to a cover bands version of the song.

Meanwhile back at the lair, all of the children are now sick. Runny nose, sore throat, coughing, stuffy head, fever, can't sleep sick. It sucks major ass. Not to mention I am starting to feel a little scratchy throat action myself. Not. good. at. all.

Tomorrow is the Brooks and Dunn and Gretchen Wilson concert in West Palm Beach. I am feeling a tad bad about the idea of leaving the kids home sick while I go do that. On the other hand their daddy (in his own words) "is perfectly capable", and the ticket was bought many moons ago. So, I dunno. I just have a voice in my head that says "What kind of fucked up mother goes to a concert with her babies all home sick?" Obviously, that would be horrible mothers like me? :( I do know that they aren't going to do much besides cough and sleep and sniff for that few hours but still...the guilt! Fate is sabotaging my October. I also am in the possession of four plane tickets that will absolutely be going to waste this coming Monday as there is no vacation coming, so wasting a perfectly good Brooks and Dunn ticket in addition to that seems so sad.
