Speak to Me

Day 29:  Five songs or pieces of music that speak to you or bring back memories.


TLC - Waterfalls
 
 
Yes I know this is an odd choice but there is a story here.  This song was released in 1995.  My husband and I met in 1995.  Yes, we were quite young and what did youngsters have to talk about back then?  Music.  Somehow we go on the subject of this video and about how cool we both thought it was.  That's how our story begins.

Sarah McLachlan - I Love You
 
 
This is our wedding song.  We had both loved this song long before it became our wedding song but once we finally decided to get married, we both knew without a doubt that this was our song.
 
 
Carrie Underwood and Vince Gill - How Great Thou Art
 
 
Regardless of what this song means, if you are not completely moved by this, there is something seriously wrong with you.  I could listen to this over and over again.
 
 
Pearl Jam - Just Breath
 

I'm not really sure why I love this song so much. I think maybe because the point behind it is for us to be grateful for the ones we have and to be grateful for the time we have.
 
 
Zach Sobiech - Clouds
 
 
I'm not trying to be cliche or anything but this kid is so inspirational.  The song is cute but that doesn't matter.  It's amazing because it was his way of saying goodbye to his friends and family.  He shared it with the world.  I can only hope to have and ounce of the courage he had.

    A lot of people posted How Great Thou Art. Such a great song, and I love Carrie Underwood's version of it! Also, I just watched the 20 minute documentary (I guess that's what one would call it?) about Zach Sobiech - I hadn't heard of the song clouds prior to it, and I cried ugly tears. You're right, he's so inspirational and Clouds is such a heartbreaking, but wonderful song.

    I just heard Waterfalls yesterday. I hadn't heard it in ages before then.

Cheerios Stands

So when I logged onto my computer this morning, the first article that caught my attention was this one ( Cheerios Stands ) about a new commercial Cheerios has out.  They are getting a ton of negative feedback for this commercial and I'm just not understanding why. So basically, people are upset because this is a white mother, a black father and a biracial child.  What's the big deal? I know that it isn't a common thing to see in a TV commercial but what's the big deal?  I really don't think that biracial couples are uncommone these days so I'm not really understanding why they are getting such negative feedback for this commercial.  I give a ton of props to Cheerios/General Mills for not pulling the ad.  They could do that and that would be easy and would end the negativity but they are not going to do that.  Good for you.  There is no reason why this ad should not be aired. By the way, I think the commercial is cute and funny and I proba...

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time!  He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day.  It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs.  As of today, though, I am up 17lbs.  I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine.  I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though!  The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated.  I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time.  Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues.  I don't ever ...

So What Wednesday

So what if I have been converted to a snow hater. I usually love the snow.  I loved to see the white stuff blanketing everything.  I loved having snow days.  I loved how quiet it would get because people were keeping warm in their homes.  I loved the sound of sleds and kids building snowmen. I don't love it anymore. Snow days?  I don't get snow days.  I don't work.  I don't get to have work or school canceled.  I don't get to take the day off from my kids because of the snow.  What I do get is to have a mini van that sucks in the snow so I don't get to go anywhere and get cooped up in the house with the kids. And I also get a husband who is gone.  He plows snow in the Winter.  Go figure.  He has been gone almost non-stop for the past two weeks because of this stupid snow and he will be gone again tonight because of the snow.  So not only do I get stuck inside with the kids while my husband is gone, I also h...
