Manic Monday
Song of the Day- Manic Monday-The Bangles
Listen/Watch here
Nothing like a good 80s tune to sing to yourself in the morning.
Today is our first day back at school in exactly ONE WEEK. We were all so exhausted from the events over our snow week that we slept in until 7:15, which, of course, is a major problem since Holt's tardy bell rings at 8 a.m.
We still had homework to finish, breakfast to eat, teeth to brush (oops we forgot to do that), hair to comb, diapers to change.
Im sitting here laughing about how crazy some mornings are while I spend these three minutes blogging and drinking my coffee. Rhett wants cinnamon rolls, and chocolate milk but today is an instant oatmeal kind of day. Cort wants apple juice.
How many sippy cups do you think we go through in one day??
Ive got to go pull it together, its my day to work in Holt's cafeteria and I have to pick up a rental car from Enterprise down the street. A mishap on an icy road led to a broken steering column...fun times.

You can't always get what you want
Song of the Day: You Can't Always Get What you Want- The Rolling Stones
Watch/Listen Here
Today is our second snow day in a row. We loaded the kids up to take them to breakfast to find we were one of the few cars on the road. This song was playing on the radio, and I thought "how appropriate" as the kids were screaming, complaining and I was selfishly wishing they were at school.
Praise teachers. I ask myself on mornings like today "How did I EVER survive the summer?"
Truth be known, they really wish they had school too. The boys LOVE their teachers, and yesterday proved that snow days aren't too easy for anyone. It's too cold to play outside, and driving really isn't safe. Right now, Holt is punching holes in pieces of colored construction paper for his "project". (I wonder how long this will keep him busy)
Its easy on days like today to plant your kids in front of the TV, (I was totally guilty of this yesterday after a sleepless night)...But my goal for the day is to get my personal "to do list" taken care of before noon so that I can spend the afternoon engaging with the kids.
We may bake cookies, paint pictures, sings songs, listen to music....anything but TV. We are turning the tables on cabin fever-oh and I forgot to mention that Cort has a regular old fever for the third day in a row.
Wish me luck.

Everything
Song of the Day: Everything-Michael Bublé
Listen here
You're a falling star, you're the get away car.
You're the line in the sand when I go too far.
You're the swimming pool, on an August day.
And you're the perfect thing to say.
And you play it coy but it's kinda cute.
Ah, when you smile at me you know exactly what you do.
Baby don't pretend that you don't know it's true.
'cause you can see it when I look at you.
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, you make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,
And you light me up, when you ring my bell.
You're a mystery, you're from outer space,
You're every minute of my everyday.
And I can't believe, uh that I'm your man,
And I get to kiss you baby just because I can.
Whatever comes our way, ah we'll see it through,
And you know that's what our love can do.
So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, you make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
You're every song, and I sing along.
'Cause you're my everything.
Yeah, yeah
So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
------------------------
This song conjures the best memories every time I hear it. I used it in one of my "imovies" of the boys.
So fun to start the day with an upbeat song!

The Heart of Life
Song of the Day: The Heart of Life-John Mayer
Listen Here
I hate to see you cry
Lying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears
And listen
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good
You know, it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
Then, circle of your friends
Will defend the silver lining
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who's misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good
I know it's good
Today started with lots of tears, it was just one of those rough mornings. Holt refused to eat breakfast, Cort wanted apple juice, milk AND water and wasn't happy when I explained to him that he could only have one drink. Parenting note: once you take a stance on something... like having three different beverages... stick to your guns (I have to remind myself of this sometimes)
I think on mornings like today, the boys often feel misunderstood because we are enforcing boundaries.
We all need boundaries. We all need patience. We all need love.
PS
Rockstar Rhett heard the song playing the the background while writing this entry and ran in to scream
"John Mayer, mommy... my favorite song!"
