Coldplay

Yeah, well, I went to see Coldplay last night....not by choice (not my kind of music). Anyways, we had bought Erin two tickets for her birthday. Original plan was for Bobby to take her but then one of her friends was going. Her older brother was taking her (graduated college, married, and very dependable) and he said he would take Erin and a friend. So she invited one of her friend's from church about a month or even two months ago. The night before the concert, she called her friend to make plans about picking up her up and then finds out that her Dad won't let her go. This is at 9pm on Thursday and the concert is on Friday. I was so pissed. Her dad directs my handbell choir and I know him very well. He said that his daughter did not remind him in enough time and she had her first piano lesson that day. Well, I can understand him punishing his daugther but now he ended up punishing MY daughter as well. I mean, come on, 9pm the night before the concert?? Anyways she was calling everyone she knew. Finally found someone to go with her and then the girl got sick and had to leave school early Friday and couldn't go. By then everyone else had plans and it was also high school football night so a lot of people were busy. Bless her heart, she had been so excited about this and was crying and crying. It broke my heart. Bobby hadn't been feeling well all day so I took her. She met up with her friend at the concert for a few minutes but our seats weren't together. Erin ended up having a good time but not near as much fun as she would have had with one of her friends. The concert was okay but not my kind of music. I let her play her CD's all the to and from the concert (ugh). LOL We were lucky with parking. The place we parked us, we were able to drive right out. So there is my rant. I'm still pretty upset with this girls father but I doubt I'll say anything about it. Besides, me and Erin got some "bonding" time which we don't get very often. Alls well that ends well. :)
