This has nothing to do with me having caught whatever it was that infected the boys but more to do with me running around, over exerting myself looking after &#8220;the others&#8221; and a late night last night.<\/p>\n<p>No I am not the worlds worst mother leaving my ill child to swan off on a night out without him, oh no, I&#8217;m way worse than that, I took him with me!! He&#8217;d stopped throwing up and seemed a lot perkier and after spending most of last week looking after James, and all weekend watching over James and Jordan we deserved a break, so I took him to his first gig!<\/p>\n<p>I was 14 before my mom allowed me to see my first band &#8220;Terrorvision&#8221; at Wolverhampton Civic Hall! Actually if I&#8217;m honest my fist gig experience was 6 months earlier than that one when I took my younger sister to see &#8220;Boyzone&#8221; again at the Civic, she had won tickets and I had to be her chaperon, my mom wouldn&#8217;t let her go without me, *shudders*. I already knew I had superior tastes in music to her and trust me when I say that experience confirmed it!<\/p>\n<p>ANYWAY last night, we went to the Bar Academy to see &#8220;The Deciphers&#8221; play. We knew most of the crowd and all the band so it was a safe option for the blonde kids gigging debut and oh how he enjoyed himself. He flitted around most of the people there wooing them with smiles and snapping them with his camera, whether they wanted him to or not. He enjoyed the music through the heavy duty ear plugs we&#8217;d adorned him with and sat on the bar asking every passing patron if they wanted a Jack Daniels and Coke so that he could order it for them! By the time we were ready to go home he was a very sleepy but extremely happy boy!!<\/p>\n<p>I got him into bed about half past 11 and lay with him for a while asking him if he&#8217;d had fun that night, I think he did as the only response I could from him was, &#8220;The music was good, I like Steve&#8217;s band but now I can hear grasshoppers in my ears&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I knew exactly what he meant!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m so tired, the effort of looking after sick people for the last few days has taken its toll and now I&#8217;m fit to drop with a sniffily nose and shivers all of my own.
