As I told the kids when the first badness started “It’s ok guys. We are Chapmans which means we roll with it. This is just an adventure.”

Tonight as we sat on the bed eating way overpriced Pizza Hut, Emily piped up and said, “This is a pretty cool adventure. Time in New York AND Nashville. That’s cool.”

Leave it to a 5 1/2 year old to sum it up and make you realize that all the stress isn’t worth it in the grand scheme of things. We are together as a family. We’re healthy and have a roof over our heads. Not everyone is so lucky in the world and for that I am thankful. Just the fact that I can fly my family somewhere for a vacation is more then many can do. So as pissed and stressed I am, it’s not right to when I stop and think about it.

Tomorrow we are going to the airport WAY early to avoid any trouble on that angle. I’ve already determined that if something else goes wrong I’m going home to Boston and done with this. I sure hope that doesn’t happen since tomorrow night is the big Podsafe Music Live concert in Nashville. It’ll happen without me, but damn do I want to be there.

I’m going to stay positive. Hope you’ll keep the positive vibes flowing as well.
