& recent days

Life has been crazy, I've been more of a blogger because I'm now back at work- so I'm sitting down at a desk all day long again...Today was a huge event in our city for the kids, our church gave away close to 800 bottles of water to thirsty participants. It was fun...Tyler is growing like a weed- The Girl is such a little lady. Her great Aunt gave her a necklace this week from Tiffany & Co. so now she's all into her "necklace". She told me the other day, "Mom, I don't want to grow up. I don't want you to become a grandma." When I asked why she said "I want to stay the same size, I want you to be my mom." She's really trying to figure out the world around her. It is so neat to see the amazing things she learns daily.

Need a Break from Reality?

Sometimes I need a break from reality to remind me that:

God is still on the throne
Sleep will eventually come
Schedules do slow down
Time flies SO fast that I must make the most of each moment and not get bogged down with the menial things that try to suck up my time.


So to take a mental vacation, I'd like to pose a question and give you my response...Certain songs always make me happy- I can't tell if its the tune, the words, the overall feel but I always smile, when I hear the following songs:

Anything by UB40 (especially Red, Red Wine & Can't Help Falling in Love)
Isn't She Lovely- Stevie Wonder
Eternal Flame- The Bangles
More Than Words- Extreme (as well as the Weird Al Parody of the same song)
Bust a Move- ??? Don't know who sings this song...
I Saw the Sign- Ace of Base
Livin on Love- Alan Jackson (oh and that song that goes, "way down yonder on the chatawhatever...)
Don't Take The Girl- A country artist (Tim McGraw?)
Whoomp There It Is!
Summertime- Will Smith


Maybe some of these songs remind me of my younger days when life was carefree and summer was here, the beach, the friends....ah....good times.

What songs make you happy? and/or What was your favorite summer activity/memory?
