What will happen over the next 12 days will be my attempt at not losing my mind. This morning my husband left on tour. No, not a tour in the military, a tour with one of the bands he plays guitar in. I know this is nothing compared to what you military wives go through, but for me…it is my own personal hell.
See, I’m what you would call a worry wart. I stress and worry about everyone else but myself. I worry so much I make myself sick. I don’t worry that he will do something wrong, I just worry because he is so far away from home. I worry about the late night, long distance driving…sleepy rockstars driving a big ‘ol van while pulling a trailer and choking on cheezy poofs.
Many people have asked me why I don’t go with him. Let me ask you something…would you want to be trapped in a van for hours on end with a bunch of men? Men who may or may not attempt to eat a 72 oz steak? Men that will be eating fast food and drinking beer daily…for nearly 2 weeks? I think not.
So, instead I will gradually lose my mind here at the house. The kids will take advantage of my craziness and I will in turn have a breakdown…or 2 or 3…20.

Oh I understand. My son is on the music circuit as well. I worry more about road traffic than I do him getting arrested or getting involved with the wrong people.
But on a more adult level, I can relate. I’ve been involved with men and auto racing. They are in a situation where party is the name of the game, and one night stands (or repeated weekend affairs) are more common than not.
Oh, totally not worried about the one night stands and affairs! All the guys are great family men, none of them are the single partying type. Also, they play a show and then they are back on the road to the next city. I trust them all. Being tired and driving scares me the most 🙁
Awww….you should come stay with me while he is on tour!
Wish we could!! It will not be long before I see you though!!
