Just getting through life with some good friends, a few drinks & a lot of help from the Man upstairs

I forgot how happy concerts and live music make me. Especially small, intimate concerts. We went to Downtown last night to see Corey Smith. It was a great night, and a great performance. I honestly don't think there were more than a hundred people in the bar, but like he says "It's a small crowd, but a loud one". I don't think he's well known but he's the number one unsigned country artist at the moment and his music is awesome! His most popular song is probably, sad to say, "Fuck the PoPo" but it's hilarious :) My favorite song is "Skin Of My Teeth" which he did not play, but he made up for that. That song describes my feelings about religion and my personal standpoint perfectly. I really had hoped he'd play it.

Derek and I left the kids with his mom and went out to McNellie's for Pint Night and sweet potato fries..yum! I love those! We then walked the two blocks back to the bar he was playing at (Home of David Cook and the David Cook clones, I swear..) We met up with Bpaul and the three of us sat down with PBR and waited for Corey to perform. Bpaul and I always have a great time at concerts. The Goo Goo Dolls concert was by far the best, but we had a blast at this one.

I love when musicians sounds as good live as they do recorded, or better. He was definitely better. If he comes out your way. definitely check him out.

Life around here is not quite on track, but I guess this happens sometimes. I feel like I lost control of everything awhile back and I won't be able to get it back the way it's supposed to be. I'm trying my best, I really am. I just feel so hazy and lost 90% of the time.
The kids are good, Nick did have an accident in his pants last week. I have no idea why it happened, but it was out of nowhere and it hasn't happened again; He wasn't even two feet from the bathroom! 
Zo is slowly starting to let go a little. She's still stuck to me like glue, but she gets over her diva tendencies quicker than in the past. She stood, unsupported, for about 10 seconds yesterday :) She's getting so big, so fast.

I am so tired after last night (not getting in bed until well after 1!) so I should probably stop typing and watching The Insider like some lonely housewife....
