Did I just materialize this?

In the car yesterday morning, I heard a woman win last minute tickets to the rodeo to go see Brad Paisley that night. She was 32. She was excited...sounded like she planned on going.

I thought: in my pre-Anna life, if we'd have had a chance to go last minute like this lady, we probably would. Even if I don't even know who Brad Paisely is (and I kinda don't). I thought:

-this lady must not have kids
-if she does have kids, she must have a great last-minute babysitter or family nearby

I don't know why this was all in my head, but I really did consciously think: if someone offered us last-minute tickets to any event these days, we'd probably have to pass because we'd have no sure babysitter access.

I kept driving.

An hour later, I'm on the phone with Paul. One of his clients came in to offer him 2 Brad Paisely tickets for that very night. Ha.

He was flattered and asked if I wanted to go. I had to be the downer: what would we do with Anna?

He gave the tickets to one of his employees instead.

Besides, I really don't even know who Brad Paisley is.

That's funny. You are such a grown up momma now.

I was at that concert :) My overall thought for the evening? Turn down that music, it's too loud. I'm old.
