If you’re married to a touring musician, I have a question for you:
How do you do it?!
Because based on one particular night while my husband was out on tour… I’m not entirely convinced I’m cut out for this lifestyle.
I’m sharing the story of the night my alarm system started going off while I was home alone and I was absolutely convinced someone was breaking into the house.
What I thought was happening and what was actually happening were two very different things.
Let’s just say my cat played a very dramatic role in the chaos.
