25 Songs in 25 Days – Day 7 – A Song That Reminds You of the Past Summer

My past summer was rough.  Beyond rough.  Blessings by Laura Story was one of the songs that we played at Lee’s funeral, and while it is a beautiful song, unlike almost all of the other songs I’ve picked, I couldn’t listen all the way through!

To those that were with me last summer, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for all of the support and love you showed.

For those who weren’t with me, here is a link to my favorite post, and a good summation of my life last year.

25 Songs in 25 Days – Day 6

25 Songs in 25 Days – Day 6 – A song that reminds you of a best friend.

I can’t believe it took me to day 6 before Meatloaf showed up!  This song has always reminded me of BA, but even more so since we went to see him together!

This close! I was this close!!!

25 Songs in 25 Days – Day 5

25 Songs in 25 Days – Day 5 – A song that is often stuck in your head.

This is stuck in my head most days for several reasons.  First off, Kansas.  ‘Nuff said.

Secondly, almost every day I watch Supernatural.  I think I might have mentioned a slight addiction I have to this show.  Because I love this show, I have it as the ringtone for one of my friends, the one that is guaranteed to call me once a day, that way I can hear it!

 

My new New Year’s resolution

This subject has been coming up a lot lately in my life, and I went back to read the post I wrote and figured it would do me well to re-post it! Help keep me accountable and my goals fresh in my mind!
Enjoy! And Happy Friday!

Did That Just Happen Blog

So, now you know all about me being a Yes Man.  And how it’s about become second nature to me.  So, that means it’s time to work on more self-improvement.  Ugh.

I’m technically going to make it my New Year’s Resolution, even though I’m not waiting until the New Year, cause hey – we all get asked that question – “did you make any resolutions?”  Why yes I did, I just implemented them months before you thought to ask me about personal growth!

I have to stop comparing myself to other parents, other women, other people in general.  I read somewhere that the fastest way to pop your own bubble of joy is to compare yourself to others (I’m paraphrasing, of course!).  It’s human nature to look around and compare yourself.  She is thinner than I am, He is funnier than I am.  I’m a way better singer than…

25 Songs in 25 Days – Day 4 – A Song That Calms You Down

How can you not stop and just close your eyes and listen to Christian Kane?  I know he’s just waiting to meet me and then we’d both live happily ever after! Of course, then my name would be Kate Kane.

I could live with that.

25 Songs in 25 Days – Day 2 – A song that reminds you of your most recent ex-boyfriend.

 

Now, the funny thing is, my last boyfriend and I joked that we saw each other about as often as Halley’s comet came through, so while it is only a brief mention in this song, it was still “Our Song”.

25 Songs in 25 Days – Day 1

25 Songs in 25 Days – Day 1 – A song from my childhood.

Okay, Disney’s The Little Mermaid came out in 1989, and while technically I was a teenager, it was still part of my childhood.  All of the Disney movies that came out at that time were.  I even had the cassette soundtrack.  Oh yeah, I was that cool!

25 Song in 25 Days Challenge

My life is busy and getting busier. Yes, I know that all of your lives are busy, too, and I’m not attempting to outdo you or belittle your busyness!

But, it is busy, and I’m struggling to make the time to blog, much less come up with things to blog about!

First off, Mr. T is a varsity cheerleader!  His name is all over the cheerleader roster and we both are super jazzed.  We are also working on our conditioning.  Thanks to Erica, I’ve started a “wall sit” challenge.  I hate the wall sit.  It is deceptively hard! Mr. T has to be able to do a 1 minute wall sit, so I want to be able to do a 1 min wall sit.

I hate the wall sit.

Anyway, Yay! Mr. T is the new mascot, and we are busy with preparations for that.  He had uniform fitting after school today and tomorrow and then we start rehearsals.  I promise to keep you all very much updated on how that goes! 🙂

The second primary point of this post is the fact that my brain is fried and I’ve decided to take on a challenge.  Because yes, when things are busy, let’s add more to the daily to-do list!

Fortunately, this should help all of us out – it’s a Blogging Challenge!  So, now I get to blog and you wonderful people won’t forget who I am!

Thanks to Penney, at My Journey to Live an Authentic Life and one of my Pinterest pals, I have this!

 

I tried to follow this back to the source so I could provide proper credit, but it dead ended on me and I’m going to use it anyway!

Instead of working at work or at home, I shall now be searching YouTube non-stop! If you’d like to join me on this challenge, feel free to link to this post and I’ll add your blog!

What Do I Do?

What do I do when I’m no longer “Mr. T’s mom”.

That thought just hit me.  Right this instant.  I am standing in the kitchen with my laptop, using it to look up the recipe, and during the downtime I was catching up on personal emails and such.  There was an email from the choir director at church regarding the next drama meeting.  I don’t perform, but Mr. T does and I was copied on the email because – hey – Mr. T’s mom here!

I was copied because we go everywhere together.  It’s been just the two of us from the very beginning, so there wasn’t much of a choice most of the time, but I am used to it.  I have learned how to juggle a hungry toddler at the grocery store, a whiny kid in the toy store and the sullen teen at the mall.

What do I do when I don’t have to?  A few weeks ago Mr. T said that soon I won’t have to be copied on the emails because we can just take separate cars to church and he can stay and I can go home.

Excuse me while I go pick my heart up off the floor before it gets stomped on any more.

When Mr. T told me that, I just put my hand on his head and told him that would never happen, he would never drive anywhere by himself because he was to stop getting older.

It wasn’t real to me then.

It is real to me now.

Gotta go, he just called. Time for me to pick him up!

He should just stay like this – I’m just saying.
