How I Failed Five Today

Made him bacon and eggs for breakfast. Why?

Lyrics to Live By

Can we go away this weekend
Take me to Broadway
Let's go shopping baby
Then we'll go to a cafe
Let's go on the subway
Take me to your 'hood
I neva been to Brooklyn
And I'd like to see what's good

Dress in all your fancy clothes
Sneakers looking Fresh to Def
I'm lovin' those Shell Toes
Walkin' that walk
Talk that slick talk
I'm likin' this American boy, American boy

"American Boy"

How I Failed Five Today

He was downstairs and he couldn't hook up the PS3 because there are way too many wires back there, so he couldn't play Need For Speed, and now it's time for bed! It's so unfair!

Lyrics To Live By

Life's a game but it's not fair
I break the rules, so I don't care
So I keep doin' my own thing
Walkin' tall against the rain

Victory's within the mile
Almost there, don't give up now
Only thing that's on my mind
Is who's gonna run this town tonight

"Run This Town"

Jay-Z

How The Captain Failed Five Today

He was getting coffee and a breakfast sandwich when Five got hit in the head with a baseball.*

*Five is fine. The Captain took a little longer to recover. I'm waiting to see how this will all turn out to be my fault.

Lyrics to Live By

'Cause she work like a boss, play like a boss
Car and crib, she 'bout to pay 'em both off
And her bills are paid on time

She made for a boss, only a boss
Anythin' less she tellin' them to get lost
That's the girl that's on my mind

She got her own thing
That's why I love her
Miss Independent
Won't you come and spend a little time?

"Miss Independent"

How I Failed Five Today

Wouldn't feed him eggs for breakfast. People who have puked get eggs all the time. They're healthy!

How I Failed Five Today

Gave him the wrong lunchbox. It didn't matter that it had the right lunch inside, it was still the wrong lunchbox. He hates that.

Lyrics to Live By

Just last night I woke from some unconscionable dream
And had it nailed to my forehead again
To keep this boat afloat
There are things you can't afford to know
So I save all my breath for the sails.

"Fighting in a Sack"

THE SHINS

Lyrics to Live By

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I dont feel so bad

"My Favorite Things"
The Sound of Music

Rodgers and Hammerstein

How I Failed Five Today

The recurring nightmare of Bad Puppet.

How I Epically Failed Five Today

Two words: bad puppet.

Lyrics to Live By

I love this song. I am a romance writer because I believe in overcoming odds, remaining forever hopeful, and taking chances. I believe in "Why not me?" Watch "I Won't Give Up" by Jason Mraz. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdN5GyTl8K0&ob=av2e

How I Failed Five Today

Clicked off his game before he clicked "okay." If he comes home and it's not saved, he's going to blame me.

How I Failed Five Today

When he says he wants toast of course he means with cinnamon sugar. How could I not know that?

Lyrics to Live By

It's been minutes, it's been days
It's been all I will remember
Happy lost in your hair
And the cold side of the pillow

Your hills and valleys
Are mapped by my intrepid fingers
And in a naked slumber
I dream all this again

Crack the shutters open wide
I want to bathe you in the light of day
And just watch you as the rays tangle up
Around your face and body

I could sit for hours
Finding new ways to be awed each minute
'Cause the daylight seems to want you
Just as much as I want you

"Crack the Shutters"

SNOW PATROL

Lyrics To Live by

LYRICS TO LIVE BY

I close my eyes
Think about the path I took
Just when I think these times
Have gotten the best of me

I can see my mother in the kitchen
My father on the floor
Watching television
It's a wonderful life

Cinnamon candles burning
Snowball fights outside
Smile below each nose
And above each chin

Stomp my boots before I go back in

"Boots"

How I Failed Five Today

Why won't I buy more than two boxes of waffles? They get eaten in, like, two days!

Movies To Live By

Here is the trailer to one of my favorite movies. It's loud and ridiculous, but I love how the family works together. Basically, were it not for surgical intervention, this would be my life. Especially because Bonnie Hunt plays a mom/author!

How I Failed Five Today

Lost the eBay bid for "Jurassic Park Operation Genesis PC" because I wouldn't bid above $22.50 for a game that was minted in 2003.
