Big Sigh

After a week of enjoying beautiful sunshine and warm weather it is raining. Add to the rain a very high chance of snow storms. I am so depressed that I can't even work up the strength to rant and rave.  So instead I am listening to what Willow calls cerebral music and working up a great case of the blues.

It is all very awesome.

Want to join in on the fun?  Shoot me a comment of your favorite, "I'm to sad to deal with life song."  I will try to track the video down.  By the end of the day we will have the ultimate today could have been better song list.

Fun right! Okay, whatever it gets me through the day so come on join in.

Here is my first choice and the song playing on my computer right now.


Joshua Radin, "The Fear You Won't Fall" if you are a Grey's Anatomy fan you may recognize it.



Oh and if you have a song that makes the blues run away. Makes you jump up and boogey hey throw it in maybe it will chase the snow away.

Songs are being posted below this post.

My fav happy song is Don't Worry Be Happy. I love this song. I have it on my ipod and I could listen to it over and over.

If you want to dance... well, then you need some EMF - Unbelievable!

If you want to chuckle in slight horror that someone would string together words that obviously don't belong together (yep, that sentence is miserable), then you need Love Me Dead. I can't remember who sings it... but it isn't the nicest of songs. However, when a song begins with "Love me cancerously," you know it is a classic.

I know that you are missing the sun and warmth that you enjoyed while here. Guess what, we are missing it too. Today we are overcast, coolish, and expecting a dust storm. See, you don't miss choking on the air, do you?

Okay. Don't make fun, and I don't think there is a video. But the song that I absolutely love, love, love is called "Whatever Happens I Love You" by Morrissey.

It's not a happy song, but it gets my mind off of whatever I am sad about and gets it on, well, ummm, something else. :)

Oh, if you really just want to wallow is despair, then you need some "Everybody Hurts." Isn't that REM? Maybe it was Depeshe Mode.... all I know is that about 4 measures into the song and I am nearly suicidal. Uff... painful little ditty.

If you need another song to chuckle, then I highly recommend "Girl with the Wandering Eye" by the Rugburns. The Rugburns are not for the faint of heart... if you are not careful, they can be exceptionally profain. However the lyric, "I made love to the girl with the wandering eye -- I think my baby's got a wandering eye -- hope my baby's gonna stay for a while." is funny on so many levels.

PS -- Russ would say you really shouldn't listen to my recommedations. HE finds the Rugburns too profain, and he has the biggest potty mouth I know.

PPS -- I am not the biggest Jewel fan, but the lead singer of the Rugburns wrote Jewel's break-out hit (I think the title was 'You Were Meant For Me'). Well... I think they co-wrote it. He sold her the rights to the song for a little, and she made MILLIONS with it. Not a bad deal for her at all.

At my Age

I saw this quote the other day and had to smile. It has been interesting finishing school at my age. I have had this feeling more than once that I am a little old, and finishing school is something I should have done a long time ago. Usually I remind myself that we all have our own paths to take in life. My path had me marry at 19 and become the mother of four beautiful rug rats by 27. Marriage and children defined me more than anything. I became more aware of my talents and abilities. I really didn't know who I was before I became a wife and mother. Waiting until now to finish my degree gave me time to figure out who I am. Well, at least to have a better idea of who I am. I love being in a classroom, I love learning, and I love helping others learn. My inner nerd does little happy dances every time I learn something new. Each person on this planet has their own God given talents. We have a responsibility to find our talents and to make the world a better place. How old you are wh...

Registered! What Have I done?

I'm just home from the gym. My legs are shaky, my shirt is sweaty, and my muscles are loose. Saturday, I biked almost 30 miles on a hill before getting off the hill and finishing up at 35 miles. This morning I went for a nice 70 minute jog. (Legs are not HAPPY!) Last night before going to bed I registered for "Little Red." Paid my non-refundable registration fee. Needless to say I'm what you would called, "FREAKED!" Holy Cow what have I gotten myself into, a 100 mile bike ride.  Do you know that this ride will actually take me out of one state into another and back. Does that sound insane? Who gets up and says hey lets ride our bikes to that state over there and back? I think I have officially lost my mind. How does one know for sure if they have lost there mind? Short of registering for a 100 mile bike ride. Do you know people do these all the time? They do them for fun! Maybe that is the definition of insane. Well what is done is done and I have 16 weeks...

Stepping Up to the Plate

This is going to be one of those braggy, braggy post just thought I would warn you. Life has gotten to the point that it is completely out of control. I’m not really sure what we were thinking when we had four children in the span of six years. I also don’t know why I thought it was difficult when they were small because life now is, as I said, completely out of control. Everyone is at the age that they are involved or doing something. Our nights have become logistic nightmares. Pick up here, drop off here, go here, and stop here. It is craziness. Added to this insanity is the fact that we are currently a one-vehicle family. A couple of months ago as I was signing Al. up for basketball I was desperately trying to talk H. out of playing basketball. He has only wanted to play since he was four and every year he would remind me how many more years until he could play. Why, oh Why did I not say he had to be 16? Eventually, I gave in and signed him up knowing it was going to be tough to fit...
