Rascal Flatts and SAT

Rascal Flatts is going to be in concert tonight at the LJVM Coliseum and I wanted to go since I first learned that they were coming. So, I looked online back before Christmas about ticket prices and dates. I was disappointed because, at the time, I was planning on taking Savannah and a group of girls to the Revolve Tour, a Christian event for teen girls for pure living... but all of that was out the window when I learned that Savannah's date to take the SAT was Saturday morning January 24th. This totally threw us out of the running for the Revolve Tour, as this is an event that lasts Friday evening and all day Saturday. So, up until last night, our plans were Fridays as usual. Work/ school, belly dancing, Special Olympics practice and then chill out at home... then I got a call from one of my best friends. Her son who works for a radio station had a couple of tix to see Rascal Flatts concert Friday night and wanted to know if I wanted them... do I even need to say what my reply was? So, my conversation with Savannah went along these lines.
Me: Savannah, what time do you need to go to bed for the SAT?
Savannah: I don't know, why?
Me: Well, we have an opportunity to go somewhere we were wanting to go... but I need to know what time you think you need to go to bed.
Savannah: Moooooommmmmm, just teeeellll mmmmeeee!!!!!
When I told her where it was, she was thrilled. She usually doesn't go to sleep before 11pm anyway, so I am thinking that she will be fine.
So, now I have gotten practice covered, sent the routine to one of my Assistants and a couple of parents, belly dancing will be there next week, and I can chill out tomorrow!!
Rascal Flatts, here we come! The saving grace in this scenario is that the concert is in Winston-Salem, and not Charlotte or Greensboro!

That still puts Savannah getting up early in the morning to take her SAT. She has to be at the school at 7:45am. Please put her in your prayers. Actuallly, I am hoping the concert will take her mind off the stress of the test, itself. We all know there is no way to study for this test, and she is like me and has serious test anxiety.

So, as for tonight, we are Rascal Flatts bound... tomorrow, it's SAT city!

God bless!
