American Honey
Lady Antebellum, 2010
Yesterday was awful. From start to finish, it was just awful.
I heard screaming coming from upstairs. Since it was bedtime, screaming is a "no go at this station."
Sweet girl came pounding downstairs in tears.“He pulled my hair,” was the tearful battle cry.
Lullaby
Shawn Mullins, 1998
Preview Song
Georgia On My Mind
Ray Charles
I have written several times about my little sweet boy, but I haven't told you much about my other two children. My sweet girl celebrated her eighth birthday just the other day and I couldn't be prouder of her.
I'm Still Standing
Elton John, 1983
I am sure that by now you can tell how my life is going by what I write. I think that is the point of this blog.
So it should be no surprise when I tell you that the last couple of weeks have been a chaotic mess! My saving grace is a sweet group of ladies that I can truly call my friends!
Don’t Stop Believin’
Journey, 1981
My alarm went off at 4 a.m. That is an hour earlier than normal and it was Saturday.
There are so many things wrong with that last sentence, that I don’t even know where to begin. Today is the big day. I have trained. I have hydrated. Most importantly, I have picked out the perfect outfit.
Drift Away
Uncle Kracker, 2002
When my sweet friend, Allison, asked me to blog my way through this deployment, I thought, 'This is a year-long deployment! How will I ever figure out what to write every week? What is it that is going to get me through this deployment?'
100 Years
Blues Traveler, 1990
Last week I shared with you about taking a deep breath and starting over when you feel like things are getting to be too much. When we are under this amount of stress for this long it is difficult to get past hurt feelings.
Wanna be Starting Something
Michael Jackson, 1982
So we are almost half way through this deployment, which can only mean one thing ... the crazy is beginning to creep out. And for me, it seems to be bursting out of the door and jumping up and down on my front porch.
Waiting is the Hardest Part
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers , 1981
My daughter asked me the question that every mom hates to answer during deployment: "Mom, when is our daddy coming home?"
That knife went straight into my heart and then she twisted it just a little! Ugh!
