Cure for the Pain
Thank you Jon Foreman. This is a great song and the words going thru my head as I laid down last night finally put me to sleep.
I'm not sure why it always goes downhill
Why broken cisterns never could stay filled
I've spent ten years singing gravity away
But the water keeps on falling from the sky
And here tonight while the stars are blacking out
With every hope and dream I've ever had in doubt
I've spent ten years trying to sing these doubts away
But the water keeps on falling from my eyes
And heaven knows, heaven knows
I tried to find a cure for the pain
Oh my Lord, to suffer like You do
It would be a lie to run away
So blood is fire pulsing through our veins
We're either riders or fools behind the reigns
I've spent ten years trying to sing it all away
But the water keeps on falling from my tries
And heaven knows, heaven knows
I tried to find a cure for the pain
Oh my Lord, to suffer like You do
It would be a lie to run away
A lie to run, it would be a lie
It would be a lie to run away
It keeps on falling (x4)
Water keeps on falling from my eyes
And heaven knows, heaven knows
I tried to find a cure for the pain
Oh my Lord, to suffer like You do
It would be a lie to run away
It would be a lie to run away
It would be a lie to run away
I'm not sure why it always goes downhill
Why broken cisterns never could stay filled
I've spent ten years singing gravity away
But the water keeps on falling from the sky
And here tonight while the stars are blacking out
With every hope and dream I've ever had in doubt
I've spent ten years trying to sing these doubts away
But the water keeps on falling from my eyes
And heaven knows, heaven knows
I tried to find a cure for the pain
Oh my Lord, to suffer like You do
It would be a lie to run away
So blood is fire pulsing through our veins
We're either riders or fools behind the reigns
I've spent ten years trying to sing it all away
But the water keeps on falling from my tries
And heaven knows, heaven knows
I tried to find a cure for the pain
Oh my Lord, to suffer like You do
It would be a lie to run away
A lie to run, it would be a lie
It would be a lie to run away
It keeps on falling (x4)
Water keeps on falling from my eyes
And heaven knows, heaven knows
I tried to find a cure for the pain
Oh my Lord, to suffer like You do
It would be a lie to run away
It would be a lie to run away
It would be a lie to run away
Beaches-An all time favorite Movie.
I wish I had the movie Beaches on DVD. I have had a song from that movie going through my head for a week now. I think I just need to watch the movie to make it stop running through my head although that may make it worse too.
I remember when the movie came out, I had the soundtrack on cassette tape. I would pop that cassette in and sing at the top of lungs when I was all alone of course. My favorite song on the soundtrack is "I Think It's Gonna Rain Today." I used to rewind that song over and over again. And to this day it is one of those songs that frequents my mind. It happens to be the one that has been trapped in my head for the past week.
For those of you who have never heard the song here are the lyrics. I have put my favorite part of the song in bold. It's the part that keeps lingering in my head.
Broken windows and empty hallways,
a pale dead moon in a sky streaked with grey.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.
Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles,
the frozen smiles to chase love away.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.
Lonely, lonely.
Tin can at my feet,
I think I'll kick it down the street.
That's the way to treat a friend.
Bright before me the signs implore me:
Help the needy and show them the way.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.
Lonely, so lonely.
Tin can at my feet,
I think I'll kick it down the street.
That's the way to treat a friend.
Bright before me the signs implore me:
Help the needy and show them the way.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.
I think I will look on iTunes and see if I can rent it to watch. It has been years since I have seen it.

What a Thriller night.
Oh dear from the news or Farrah Fawcett to the storm last night it was a long day and night and not much sleep was had at the Roogles Ranch.
Farrah Fawcett, what a sad thing to see happen to someone. Some people are so upset because they seem to be making her death so public but we need to remember that this is the road she chose. From early on she chose to do a video blog of her fight and then put it into a documentary for all to see. How brave of her to share all her thoughts, trials, and fight with us. Maybe by this one will get early detection and make it. I am sure that would fill her heart. Her battle takes me back to December of 04 when I was admitted to a hospital with internal bleeding. I am so thankful through all the testing and the colonoscopy that nothing was found it was just something that happened with no real ryhme or reason. I am thankful that I didn't have to go through what she has and pray that it will never happen again and that I will not have to travel down that road. A little secret about me: It's something I think about often and pray about.
Then we have the death of Michael Jackson. Wow what a shock, not that for years he didn't look like the life had been sucked out of him but he died! I can remember laying on the floor in front of the record player with the BIG headphones on listening to the Thriller album and singing along. I would do this for hours. I can remember doing baton routines to his music. Oh and the movie Thriller, I can remember watching it at school. We all gathered in the school library to watch it. At slumber parties we would make up dances to his songs. I can remember the sparkly single glove I had, and I even had sparkly socks. I remember always wanting one of those leather jackets, you know the one I am talking about. Oh and how could anyone forget the Moonwalk. And his hair catching on fire. I remember the song We are the World. Even at a young age it brought me to tears. Don't laugh, listen to the words! As I grew older Mr. Jackson become well interesting and for most odd. And most of us stopped following him as we once did. What a history he has and his history has touched most of our lives in some way. Hearing the news of his death was shocking. Not that I sat and cried as some did but a bit of my childhood is dead. Oh the memories.
We had some great friends over last night for some chinese food and great conversations. We had a good time and I even scored a foot and leg rub. I love my friends and I love that they love my children and understand that they are 4 and 2. THey understand why they act the way they do sometimes and they don't expect too much out of them. I love that they speak to them with respecct! They do speak to them with sarcasim and expect them to be little grown ups.
We seemed to end the night with quiet a bang! We had a terriable storm come through. At approx. 1:30 here came the kids. Silas saying "Daddy, I cared. You hear hat? Lightening care me." Bless his heart, this is the first time him being like this in the middle of the night. We haven't had a whole lot of storms since he came along. But there he was as close to me as he could get with his eyes as wide open as he could get them. Ellie was also a little scared but I think as soon as she curled up with daddy she went right back to sleep. Not long after that happened Eli had to get up and take care of server problems. So for our house it was a short stormy night. And we are all very tired today!
Silas got up this morning and said with great excitment "Mommy huder gone."
Hopefully today will go smoothly.

Happy Father's Day!
Ellie was gone all last week and one of the first things she said when she got home was "I didn't miss Father's Day did I?"
She loves her daddy and wanted to make him something special, a red cake because we love him. She fell asleep so iced it for her.
Happy Father's Day Eli!
We Love You!

Shopping with Silas
Yesterday Paul went to spend the day with his Grandma. So it was just Silas and I all day. After the Schwan's man came and stocked my freezer we headed to Chillicothe.
Let me just say quickly, if the Schwan's man comes your way get the funnel cake fries, AMAZING!!!
First Silas and I had lunch with Daddy. We had a good peaceful lunch and Buffalo WIld Wings. Then it was off to take daddy back to work. After daddy was back at work we headed to the Toy Store. Silas loved it. We had fun looking at toys and playing. And I got out of there with no new toys! We, I, decided I wanted to walk down to Ivy's and look at the Vera Bradley bags. I mainly wanted to check out the Baby Bag. Well on the way to Ivy's we walked by Hourglass Traditions, which is going out of buisness. Everything in the store is between 60-75% off. I wanted to go in just to see if they happened to have any Willow Tree figurines left. Instead we found some other goodies. Silas found a TY dog toy that he insisted on buying because it looked like Oscar. He hasn't put it down since we left, he even slept with it last night, a good $1.25 spent. We also found some other TY stuffed animals that we thought we needed. Silas found another dog he wanted and insisted on buying Ellie a cat. We also got Lilly a purple hippo to cuddle with. Then we found something to get Ellie for her Birthday. I had already purchased something for her months ago but I knew she would love this so we got it. I got 2 TY dolls and 6 outfits to change them into for 10 bucks. So Ellie's birthday presents are covered now. After we were done in Hourglass we headed to Ivy's. The baby bag was not what I expected. I didn't like the lining on the inside. Ivy's was having an amazing sale on the Vera's. There were select styles and patterns that were 40% off and yes I bought one for me. Maybe I shouldn't have but I did. I really like it I got the zig zag in the purple punch print, which is my new favorite print. A good day of shopping was had!!
We got daddy a special pick me up treat to get him thru the rest of the day and then we headed to the dr. I arrived there at 3:45, my appointment was at 4:10. I like to be early! I was put in a room at 4:20 and then at 5:10 they came in the room and said that the dr. had been called up to deliver a baby. ARRGGG!!!!! I could stay and wait if I wanted but they couldn't tell me how long it would be. I am not angry at the Dr. or the nurses but why would they schedule the Dr. on call appointments?? I feel like they should not keep women waiting for hours because a dr. had to go deliver a baby. There are enough dr.'s in that practice that they can have two dr.'s taking appointments and one dr. on call instead of 2 dr's taking appointments and one of those two being on call. Anyways that's my rant for the moment!
When all is said and down we had a good day that ended with Pizza and Silas trying to dance like the people on "So You Think You Can Dance." It was so cute I should have taken some video.
