It Runs in Her Veins

I'm a Kenny Chesney fan.  In fact, Kenny may have helped Mike win me over.  When we were first dating Mike found out about a "surprise" concert that Kenny was playing in Winston and took me to see him.  It was in a really small venue - so it was like a private concert.  Actually it was more like hanging out with Kenny and some friends, listening to him play the guitar and sing while enjoying a few beers.  It snowed and sleeted that night.  We went anyway.  We only had one ticket to get in. We went anyway.  Mike snuck in the back door.   Mike was not a country music fan prior to this experience but he was a Kenny Chesney fan by the time the night was over.  And my crush on Mike may have grown by a smidgen or so. I still remember Mike putting his arms around me during one of the few slow songs he played that night, if I close my eyes I go back.....ok, that was a really cheesy reference to a really good Chesney song. I. Just. Couldn't. Help. Myself. 

Last night Maddie wanted to watch "dragon" and if you remember, I told her that she could after she cleaned up.  To which, she replied that she was too tired to clean.  We did clean up.  I had to compromise and help her but we got the mess cleaned up and Maddie was able to watch dragon while I cooked dinner.  Right as I was finishing cooking I heard the sound on Maddie's movie abruptly change to the stereo.  I went into the living room to check on her only to find her slow dancing with her baby doll to Kenny Chesney's "The Boys of Fall."   So I did what any Mom in my position would do.  I put down my spoon and stopped cooking to slow dance in the middle of the room with her.  And by with her - I mean beside her.  I didn't want to interrupt her moment with baby or with Kenny.
