What’s the craziest thing that’s happened while your significant other was on the road? Maybe you’ve moved into a new place? Bought a car? Dyed your hair? Dealth with a death in the family or a problem with the house? I might have to one-up you… During my husbands current tour, we received a foster [...]

Wishing for a reunion
Posted in General on January 31, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Recently, talk struck up between my husband and a couple old band mates about how much fun a reunion show would be. Whether they can get the artist they had worked for years ago involved or not doesn’t matter; they want to play great music together again. I’ll be honest, my excitement about this idea [...]

For Christmas, my husband wanted to give me “a memory” instead of buying me some material possession that will fall apart or be forgotten as time passes. He has a very busy work schedule these first few months in 2012. He is trying to get in enough touring before we take time off to care [...]
Careful planning

This weekend was my 5th Wedding Anniversary, and I spent much of the last few days in dreamy memory-mode. We got engaged on Christmas Eve, and I had no idea it was about to happen. So when the questions started to come within days, (like, “When are you going to get married?”) I was caught [...]
Holding Down the Fort

The holidays flew by and my once bustling, brilliant, pine-scented existence is now quiet. Here I am with a un-adorned home, rainy weather, and a husband who’s going to be traveling non-stop for almost three months. He’ll miss tax season and Valentines Day (which we don’t celebrate anyway), all the hang outs with friends and our [...]

This last weekend was one final “run” for my husband and many musicians here in Nashville. It seemed my Facebook page was nothing but posts like, “Heading out for three shows in four days! Last run of 2011!” Friday night, I took my husband to the bus to head out for a show. Winter always [...]
And Baby Makes Three

The Rock Star and I have been working so hard lately. Non-stop. We have been waking up early and working late. Not noticing that it gets dark at 4:45, we find ourselves snapping out of a work-induced haze around 6pm with only the light of our computer screens (and the Christmas lights that are set [...]

Do you ever have those days when you do something or forget something and you think to yourself “man, where did I leave my head today?!” Come on, I bet you’ve had that kind of days sometime. I sure hope so because lately I’ve been having a lot of them! The other Sunday my husband [...]

Over the past few months I have gotten quite a few comments and emails from fellow Road Widows – saying they can relate, expressing how glad they are to have found this blog and talking about their current situation. In reading these comments and emails I have come to realize that lately I haven’t been [...]
