Lyrics to Live By

I've got some issues that nobody can see/
And all of these emotions are pouring out of me/
I bring them to light for you/
It's only right/
This is the soundtrack to my life/
The soundtrack to my life.

Why can't he stay home from school like Four? He's been having trouble breathing, and I don't believe him.

Lyrics to Live By

A new empire beckons a new kingdom in the distance/
No gods are present just the sky the earth and us/
No wings no halos nor the thunder in the footsteps/
Because fear and anger they are a law unto themselves.

It's the weight of love in your arms/
It's the weight of love in your arms/
It's the weight of love in your arms/
It's the weight of love so gentle in your arms.

"The Weight of Love"

Made him do all his Sunday School homework. You know, everyone says you get the day off from school on the weekend, but then you have to go to Sunday School, which has "school" right in its name. It's not fair.

Lyrics to Live By

There's the river there's your house and there's the church/
And there's us years ago/
Deep in the garden where the nettle met the rose/
Is where we'd hide ourselves/
Yes we were just kids/
But you couldn't tell us that/
These are the garden rules/
That's what you always said.

Oh you'll never know how much I love you so/
Oh you will never know how much I love you.

"The Garden Rules"

He was playing with Ethan and then I made them go with me to drop Two at the high school. And when we got back, Ethan's mom was here to take him to Tae Kwon Do, and they didn't get to finish playing. I lied to him!

Lyrics to Live By

Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say/
"Pride will tear us both apart"/
Well now pride's gone out the window/
Cross the rooftops, run away/
Left me in the vacuum of my heart./

What is happening to me?/
Crazy, some'd say/
Where is my friend when I need you most?/
Gone away/

But I won't cry for yesterday/
There's an ordinary world/
Somehow I have to find./

And as I try to make my way/
To the ordinary world/
I will learn to survive.

"Ordinary World"

Did not! I remembered that the school store was open today, and packed money. However, it wasn't, and won't be open again until February 5th. I will not remember that, so chalk it up as a future fail.

Didn't have waffles for breakfast. Even after I checked again. Because you know, every time I say I don't have waffles, I look again and I always find one

Lyrics to Live By

I've been a-waiting for you/
And you've been a-waiting for me/
Tell me that you'll always be true/
And you'll be the only one for me/

Forget me not, my dear, my darling/
Forget me not, my love/

I just want to hold your hand/
Hang on every word you say/
Let's write a song for us/
And sing it till we're old and gray/

Forget me not, my dear, my darling/
Forget me not, my love/

I'm coming home real soon/
Please leave a light on for me/
Tell me that you'll always be true/
And you'll be the only one for me/
Yes, you'll be the only one for me

We're starting fresh in 2012. For now: no failures!

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.

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

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

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!
