Weezer Weezer Weezer!!!

I actually went to a Weezer concert!

I don't know about you,
BUT Weezer is one of my TOP I mean TOP favorite bands of alllll time.

I don't think I can express to you how exciting the concert was  and is to me!

So here is the story in full detail....bare with me please :)

Hubby informed me one evening he wanted to take me to a concert.

You have to understand.....this isn't normal for Hubby.

I was quite impressed with him for even mentioning it!

He then asked me if it was ok to buy the tickets.

I was of course completely ok with this decision of his.

He also asked me if I wanted it to be a surprise,

I love surprises so I said yes...please!!

He tried all his might to keep it a surprise for me....I'm not the nosy type so I didn't think it would be a problem.

Then one day I was checking Hubby and I's joint email account like I do every few days...

and a friend of ours who thought she was JUST sending Hubby a message to his FB account and of course  this email account was sent a notification message from FB.

  And I clicked open the email and read the question she was posing!!

The concert that was supposed to be a surprise wasn't any longer.

At first I was kind of upset I found out...but then I soon got excited to pick out my outfit and of course start refreshing up on my Weezer songs!

Finally the day came...oh my I was so excited.

Mostly because I was getting a much needed date with my hubby,

and break from my chillins!

From the first song I was completely taken back to my teenage years.

They opened with The Sweater Song  fyi

OH it was so cool!

They played all their best hits....which of course I knew all of them by heart....except for a few.

The people in front of Hubby and I kept looking back at me...Like would she stop singing!  

I couldn't help it I sang all the words I knew and I was in complete HEAVEN!!

THEN the coolest thing happned EVER...I mean EVER

Rivers Cuomo aka lead singer of Weezer came down into the CROWD!

Not once but TWICE!
Here is a pic to prove it

I know you can't see him very well....but it's him in the crowd!

I can't even tell you how cool I thought this was and is.

Among all the concerts I have been to .... I have never EVER seen the lead singer or any member of the band actually come down into the crowd!!!!!

Ok I have to tell you  and this is the coolest and lamest thing on my part....I give you permission to laugh at me.  lol

The 2nd time Rivers Cuomo came down into the crowd I ran down out of me seat to where he was coming.....followed his movments for a few minutes.....I knew he had to come my way at some point and positioned myself where he would be coming.....

AND he came RIGHT next to me!

 I mean I was RIGHT next to him.... he was just maybe 1 whole inch away from me!!!!

I got nervous and didn't know what to do.

I mean he was singing and had the microphone in his hand.....

So I touched his arm!

I mean what else was I supposed to do???
I didn't have my phone with me to take a pic...I know so lame...right?
OH well.

But Yes I have touched Rivers Cuomo's arm and seen his face right up close and personal.

After I touched him I felt I invaded his bubble, but oh well I still touched him and I can say that for the rest of my life lol.

I then ran back to my seat and sat next to my Hubby who thought I was so cool for doing what I had just done! lol

I love my Hubby for knowing me sooo well,
for buying tickets to see Weezer,
 letting me be ME, 

and thinking I'm cool for running down to touch Rivers Cuomo's arm! lol

I am a lucky lady.

That concert was the BEST concert I have EVER been to.

I still have a high from that concert a full 24 hours later.

Yes I recommend going and I would love to go again.
Here are a couple of pics of Hubby and I at the concert.

THE END haha

A Nothing Day

Sometimes... ok at least once to twice a week I give myself a NOTHING day.

I clean, cook, and take care of kids all the time.

Often times it get ANNOYING 

Same messes

same food

same clothing to wash

You know just the same thing EVERYDAY.

Yes it gets annoying lol

My remedy?

A nothing day.

I still cook,

feed my chillns and hubby's mouths.

BUT I give myself a break from cleaning.

Well from making my house look clean.

Like today I cleaned the kitchen up after breakfast,

that's about all the I've done today.

I've watched two movies (both lame and wish I had known before I watched them.)

And I got caught up on my Kardashians.

Oh how I love the Kardashians, 

they remind me of my sisters!

Then I swam in the pool with Landon while Audrey and Carson took a nap.

After the pool Landon and I watch funny baby Youtube vids.

I would say a nice relaxing,

good day!

Yes I need days like this to keep me sane.

This is the closest thing I have to a day off.

I will now go make dinner...then do nothing again.

Yes I love days like today! :)

Tomorrow will be back to the daily grind....good thing my kids are funny.

They are often times the only thing that is different.

You never know what they are going to say or do in a day. haha

Oh Ya and tomorrow is our Stake Blood Drive...

 I hear you get a pint of BaskinRobbins ice cream for the pint of blood you give up!

I mean how can I pass that up??

I can't.

So this is the first time I will be giving blood EVER in my entire life....because I get ice cream haha

Italian Cheesy Bread!

My friend Robyn made this bread one time and we both like it,

but knew it could be better!

I added my own little twists to it and it turned out.... Ummmmm

Here it is you just have to make it with your next Italian Meal!

Emotions....

Seems like lately I have been all over the place with my emotions.

I miss my family a lot,

missing them makes me sad.

Then I get angry with Hubby... he not being able to fill the hole of my family.

It's really not fair to him,

unfortunately he's the only person I vent my frustrations to.

I found myself crying last night,

and let me tell you I hate to cry.

I am not a crier at all.

I blamed my all my sadness and frustrations on Hubby,

which again isn't fair.

I mean I wasn't just crying for my family

I was upset with some things Bret has done...or not doing. haha

Upset with myself for what I am and not doing as well.

Bret came home for lunch today knowing I was still upset from last night.

As always he has to pry what I'm really feeling out of me.

I was refusing to talk to him,

then finally I let it all out.

I feel so much better now it's all out.

Yes I miss my family still

Yes life isn't easy

Yes I struggle to even want to get out of bed sometimes.

Yes life isn't magically going to get better anytime soon.

But I can change my attitude.

I wrote a song just recently to help pick myself up.

I'm glad I wrote it, 

I feel better when I do play and sing the words that are really just for me.

Music always helps me.

Mindy Gledhill I think was my savior today as well. haha

Her Anchor album is just so happy.

You can't feel sad when you listen to it,

thank heavens for uplifting music!

I'm listening to her now with a smile on my face.

Landon even asked me "mom does this music make you happy?"

Yes Landon it does.

I want to be a good mom and wife,

often times I feel I'm failing.

Whether I am failing or not I do know I few things for sure

I know my children love me

I know my Hubby loves me

I know my family loves me

I have wonderful friends who love me as well.

I am so grateful to have such amazing people in my life helping me along.  

I am so grateful to have the gospel in my life,

thankful for forgiveness

mercy

peace

love

all that comes along with having the gospel in my life.

Especially knowing there is a true and loving Savior watching out for me,

and helping me along.

Any Ladies Like to Ummmm Fish??

Bret came home yesterday telling me he heard a new country that...

reminds him of me.

I was intrigued....hoping it was a good song,

maybe a love song?

This might be tmi or maybe even a little inappropriate but I laughed so hard when I listened to the song!

I just had to share this!

Here it is...and I guess Bret counts himself lucky lol

New Post...What to Post??

I feel like I need to post something.

 It's been pretty uneventful  around here this week...

Other than the, cleaning, feeding, cleaning, oh ya and some more cleaning and feeding the hungry mouths around me! lol

I did make a trip to the DMV that's always so lovely...so many things to see there, 

and the wait is always so gloriously long!  

I didn't have time to make an appt which meant I sat in a chair for 2 hours....ugh

BUT this time I went with a good friend,

so the conversation was good....which made the time go by faster!! 

We enjoyed conversating on the clothing that was worn around us,

and what certain people looked like....it was fun lol.

Oh we watched Rio this week,

OK good movie!

I love the soundtrack....  

I had to download it and add it to my playlist!

Fly Love by Jamie Fox....I totally love that song! 

Now you go listen to it, and tell me what you think.

You better love it...just sayin :)

I think the highlight to my days lately have been:

Listening to Carson talk his talk,

and walk his walk.

(That kid gets kissed all day long.

I think I'm lucky he doesn't mind me kissing him so much! haha)

Watching Landon play with his G.I. Joes.

(He recently found his lost G.I. Joes.  

Apparently stuffed animals and G.I. Joes play really well together.)

Audrey and Landon playing their forts.

(They are finally playing well together... it's just taken almost all summer to get to this point.)

You want to know my least favorite thing right now?

Listening to Carson screaming!

I think I might just go crazy...

I really need to do something about his screeching scream! lol

What about you?  

What is the highlight to your days???

And your least favorite thing??
