Text of the page (random words):
ldhood it s interesting to revisit these lyrics as adult some examples being ring around the roses jimmy crack corn or buffalo gals you take a look at the history or context and realize you just need to try to ignore the literal or implied meaning of the lyrics every once in awhile i run across a song that has some golden parts to it but some trash as well so instead of throwing the whole thing out i just keep what i want and make up the rest example 1 good morning good morning from singing in the rain in the movie they re singing good morning because they ve stayed up the whole night and honestly i can t remember much more than good morning good morning it s great to stay up late good morning good morning to you it s not that it s inappropriate for children it s just that it s not very fitting so i changed the words and added a bridge and here s the new version i sing to hazel every morning while changing her diaper good morning good morning i hope you re feeling great good morning good morning to you good morning good morning i hope you re feeling great good morning this day is for you you had a good night sleepy time in bed but now it s time for upsie daisy silly head good morning good morning i hope you re feeling great good morning this day is for you example 2 let the sunshine in here s another one in need of a face lift i love the chorus to me it was always a chipper anthem of the power of positive thinking but then the other day i started singing the verse i remembered and had to stop myself it s all about the devil i got online to see if there were other verses more appropriate for children and found out that all the verses to that song are about the devil why anyone would craft such a delightful song with such terrible subject matter is beyond me like making a bouquet out of carcasses so i took a little time to think about what i thought the song should say and here is my new version my mother told me something that a little girl should know and it s all about your attitude when giving things a go she says look for the good in things and you will surely see if you re positive and confident you can do anything chorus so let the sunshine in face it with a grin smilers never lose and frowners never win so let the sunshine in face it with a grin open up your heart and let the sunshine in while driving me to school one day my daddy did explain that i m the one responsible for having a good day he says no matter what the day brings you can always choose to respond with kindness and you ll find it keeps away the blues chorus and now whenever storm clouds darken up the sky i know just what i need to do to get me through the night i say a little prayer and remember to be brave and a rainbow will soon appear to chase away the gray chorus there much better the chorus always reminded me of the experience that inspired the second verse i can remember many many mornings when my dad would be driving us kids to school and he would ask are you going to have a good day today the first few times we would point out that there s no way we could know that how could we know what would happen to us that day and then he would start in with a little pep talk about how no matter what happens or what other people do we always have control over our reaction and how we handle things he would encourage only you determine what kind of day you have after the first few speeches anytime he would ask us are you going to have a good day we would just groan and laugh we all remember those conversations very well and as cheesy as it may be it bears a lot of truth and is much better subject matter for a song posted by bethann at 10 11 am 26 comments monday april 13 2009 fame my favorite stitching site invites patrons to submit their completed embroidery projects they pick their favorites and display them in their gallery i submitted my latest project and guess what i made it click here to check me out addendum 4 17 09 can you believe it they blogged about it thanks for letting me know jessica posted by bethann at 9 29 am 3 comments saturday april 11 2009 i ll fly away the little bird has picked up a new trick when she gets excited she flaps her arms like she s going to fly away everytime she would do it i would yell at tory to come watch and of course she would stop i was trying to get it recorded to show him and had to act fast to get the camera in time so fast that i left a dang dirty diaper on the table and it s in the video gross bad mama posted by bethann at 9 53 am 2 comments more baby videos here are a few more videos taken by a new mom who thinks every little thing her daughter does is spectacular read as this video will probably not interest anyone besides family first up is hazel playing with her whoozit a toy my mother got her for christmas it s her favorite thing to play with sitting up the second one is after her second dining experience she figured out she could make a sound by banging her spoon and became obsessed with bonking and bonking again sorry about the cheesy commentary posted by bethann at 8 52 am 1 comment first cereal video for those of you that want to see the event in motion here s a video for you sorry about the breast pump in the background it kind of reminds me of the money you could be saving with geico if you ve seen those commercials please pardon my super cheesy commentary i ve got to learn to keep quiet in these videos we did the first half of the meal with the other video tape camera by the time we got to the second half with our digital this one she was starting to lose interest a bit it ll probably be moderately interesting for grandparents and family and super dull for the rest of you posted by bethann at 8 02 am no comments monday april 6 2009 house sweet house because i have spent the last 6 years putting out emotional fires with rational thought i will do a very poor job in the next few paragraphs of conveying how deeply the show house touches me i m simply out of practice when it comes to feeling but that s not the subject for this blog so we ll move on i would skip the entry altogether but i think so highly of the show that i can t not mention it i ve been watching house for a few years now it started because i have a thing for a hard truths cloaked in sarcasm delivered by fearless and credible people and b older attractive and intelligent men especially if they exhibit the previous quality definitely helps if they are right most of the time and play piano and guitar dad if you re reading don t get weirded out on me i promise this isn t oedipal what kept me watching in addition to the aforementioned qualities is the subject matter the topics of house may be much like any other medical drama life death meaning etc but no other medical drama has ever appealed to me probably because most of them are driven by hope while house is driven by cynicism now that speaks to me i wanted to write a blog earlier this year when the episode titled unfaithful aired in february a priest had a vision of jesus and got very sick and ended up as gregory house s patient the two men went back and forth about faith both trying to prove a point and convince the other while still figuring out where they stood on the subject i need to go back and watch it because there was so much meaty dialogue that was the first time i watched a tv episode and needed a week to work through the cloud clarity it left in my brain it was fantastic tory went out to watch the game basketball right with a buddy tonight so i got to watch house with him gone which allows me to concentrate much more thank goodness because i would have needed to be alone with this episode simple explanation one of the doctor s on house s team calls in because his dog is sick and two other doctors on the team go to check in on him finding him on the floor self inflicted gunshot wound to the head i m assuming anyone who is reading knows why i would identify boyfriend s suicide in 2003 brother s suicide in 2008 they are both events i still deal with and work through everyday if i were writing a paper i would make sure of all my sources and then start giving you all sorts of statistics since this is just a blog i don t have to do that i m not going to remember them all accurately and i don t feel pressure to but here s some information for those of you unfamiliar with the subject suicide is common and it s not talked about for the most part it s a sickness if it hasn t directly or indirectly creeped into your sphere of influence just wait it most likely will if it creeps in close a loved one your world will be blown open and you will find yourself in the spiral of a huge question mark if the strike isn t so close it may be just enough of the evil to vaccinate you from the heartache if it sucks the life out of your heart more than once in 5 years call me and we ll have a drink people don t talk about suicide because there s no happy ending there s never even a mediocre ending there just isn t an ending at all usually we never really know why someone does it even if they leave a note and mainstream media needs closure doesn t matter if it s the news or movies or tv or magazines no one wants to report an unknown it doesn t sell most people don t have a decent understanding of the subject i can t blame them too much why would you want to investigate something so melancholy the church seems to have its stance on suicide they will talk about it because it is their duty to feign impathy though judgment is hard to conceal most from the older generation won t acknowledge the subject and then there is a vast sect of society that uses the repulsive term selfish act with a clear and severe disrespect of the deceased and their remaining confidants i think these people must have very simple minds and simple hearts and just have never experienced the far reaching boundaries of a tragic and beautiful soul i want to shake them close them in a room with a well written book on the subject and the ghosts of suicide victims until they understand but i ll keep my mouth shut sometimes i kind of envy their simplicity house took the subject and ran like an olympian creating a beautiful dance between the subjects of guilt and love resigning you can t feel that much guilt with out love gregory house returns to kutner s apartment repeatedly on a quest to discover the explanation questions his friends and his parents scouring every remaining piece of his life for clues brings back memories a colleague consoles kutner hid from everyone you didn t get a chance to save him no one did chance being the operative word that makes that quip right in every way the show ends with a funeral and a beautifully accurate portrayal of personal paths of grief the lonely stoic the empty drained faces of the parents the friend that avoids the subject until a moment alone when it hits and brings a blubbering flood to whomever is responsible for making this show the soul wrenching meaty meal that it is i commend you thank you for tackling a taboo subject and for doing it so f ing well a well needed heart massage and a message needing heard posted by bethann at 8 04 pm 5 comments hazel s first cereal we have taken the leap the past week and a half hazel has been draining me dry and begging for more she s said goodbye to all of her 3 6 month clothing and is now exclusively in 6 12 month duds i guess it s time to grow again i feel so bad when she s rooting rooting rooting for more and there s just not a drop to be found she can sit unassisted has been noticing food can drink water out of a big girl cup but won t take a bottle go figure and seems generally hungry so i figured it was time to introduce some cereal she s about 5 1 2 months so we re right on the aap s schedule i ve been putting it off because sorry to get graphic her bowels have started really spacing out she ll go about 5 or 6 days between number two s which makes me cringe but i guess it s fairly normal currently she s on day 9 and we re still waiting for what promises to be a monstrous explosion it s really really uncommon for a breastfed baby to get constipated so they say so i just keep working her legs massaging her tummy and letting her eat as much as she wants everyone has advice on the subject and i welcome all of it it didn t seem right at first to think about adding in something thicker than she s used to when she s potentially plugged up but it seems that most of the material online from my doc s office is telling me not to worry so i m done worrying bring out the spoon i made about 5 tsp of rice cereal with breastmilk she loved it it all went well like she had been eating for months i put some on the spoon and showed it to her she opened wide and closed down on the cereal easy peasy not all of it went down the hatch she sometimes would just move it around in her mouth or ooze it out but all in all i would call it a very successful first meal hooray posted by bethann at 2 43 pm 2 comments friday march 27 2009 breastfeeding article this is for all you moms out there who have successfully or unsuccessfully or apathetically breastfed your child check out my friend s blog entry on the subject and also be sure to read the article he is referring to in dan s perfect words it s a level headed and refreshingly skeptical look at the hype over selling and judgmental posturing that attaches to contemporary breast feeding take a minute to read it seriously please do it now latch on and don t stop until you ve finished the rich hind milk of it you won t be let down and while you read it note my beef with the subject even in professional literature the presentation of the word is inconsistent breastfeeding breast feeding breast feeding posted by bethann at 7 36 am 2 comments wednesday march 25 2009 oh i went down south for to see my gal we are finally almost recouperated from our trip this past weekend my best friend from college timberly got married to josh on saturday down at nottoway plantation just outside of baton rouge i was a bridesmaid it s a terrible time of year for tory to be away for any length of time so i asked my mother to go with me to help take care of hazel our flight left at 6am friday morning so mom i were up by 3 45 and out the door at 4 30 quite a different process trying to fly with a baby you ve got to take so much more stuff and going through security is a mess but we made our flight barely and hazel was perfect the whole time we got to the plantation a little early and our room wasn t ready for us yet since we were so so so tired we just slept in the car for awhile like a bunch of vagabonds nottoway plantation is gorgeous the grounds were verdant except for some areas of construction the buildings were amazing and the rooms were perfect and don t even get me started on the furnishings linens the property sits right behind the levee of the mississippi and is the largest plantation in louisiana there were snapdragons pansies planted every...
