Lyrics to Live By

Deck the halls with boughs of holly,/
Fa la la la la, la la la la./
Tis the season to be jolly,/
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Don we now our gay apparel,/
Fa la la, la la la, la la la./
Troll the ancient Yule tide carol,/
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

See the blazing Yule before us,/
Fa la la la la, la la la la. /
Strike the harp and join the chorus,/
Fa la la la la, la la la la./

Follow me in merry measure,/
Fa la la la la, la la la la./
While I tell of Yule tide treasure,/
Fa la la la la, la la la la./

Fast away the old year passes,/
Fa la la la la, la la la la./
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses,/
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Sing we joyous, all together,/
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Heedless of the wind and weather,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

How I Failed Five Today

Did not, in any way, fail him on Christmas. In fact, he has no idea how successful I was today!

How I Failed Five Today

Forgot snack. Again. Have now made packing snack his responsibility.

Lyrics and Failures

Oh, this is how it starts/
Lightning strikes the heart/
It goes off like a gun/
Brighter than the sun.

Oh, we could be the stars/
Falling from the sky/
Shining how we want/
Brighter than the sun.

Would not buy him "crowns," the monetary system they use on his online game, even though it was a really good deal!

How I Failed Five Today

Ha! I didn't! At least not so far today.

How I Failed Five Today

Forgot to pack his speech folder. He has it every week. I should know that by now.

(It's actually every six days, which makes it nearly impossible to remember. I need speech to end.)

Lyrics to Live By

I could not ask for more/
Than this time together/
I could not ask for more than this time with you/
And every prayer has been answered/
And every dream has come true/
Yeah, right here in this moment/
Is right where I'm meant to be/
Here with you/
Here with me

How I Failed Five Today

Took forever to put the lights on the Christmas tree. Dad told him we would put the decorations on tonight, and if that didn't happen he would just die! Christmas is coming, in, like, eighteen days!

How I Failed Five Today

Wouldn't buy him the pre-decorated, tiny Christmas shrub at Home Depot. Today we went back, bought it with his money and put it in his room, because it's his own money, and he can buy what he wants.

Lyrics to Live By

The glow that the sun gives
Right around sunset
Helps me realize
This is just a journey

Drop your worries
You are gonna turn out fine
Oh, you'll turn out fine
Fine, oh you'll turn out fine

But you gotta keep your head up
And you can let your hair down
You gotta keep your head up
And you can let your hair down

"Keep Your Head Up"

Promised his new game would be here on Wednesday. When Wednesday arrived, realized I hadn't ordered it. Even though I told him there was a "problem with shipping," he knew it was because I forgot.
