Another thread down.

I'm picking up the beat with this next set, a little more 'tude:

Love Don't Live Here Anymore
Lady Antebellum

Well this heart of mine
Has been hardened like a stone
It might take some time
To get back what is gone
But I'm movin' on
And you don't haunt my dreams
Like you did before
When I would curse your name

Hey

Well I heard the news
That you were back in town
Just passin' through
To claim your lost and found

But I'm over you
And there ain't nothin' that
You could say or do
To take what you did back

Well you got nerve to waltz right in
And think what's mine is yours again

Well I've been doin' fine without you
Forgettin' all the love we once knew
And girl I ain't the one who slammed that door
But now you say you've changed your thinkin'
But I ain't got a heart for breakin'
So go and pick your bags up off my floor
Cuz love don't live here anymore

Oh no

Well baby you can try
To tell me how it is
And try to justify
Everything you did

But honey I'm no fool
And I've been down this road
Too many times with you
I think it's best you go

Well I got one thing left to say
Is you can lay in the bed you've made

Well I've been doin' fine without you
Forgettin' all the love we once knew
And girl I ain't the one who slammed that door
But now you say you've changed your thinkin'
But I ain't got a heart for breakin'
So go and pick your bags up off my floor
Cuz love don't live here anymore

Oh no

Sugar no

And you don't live here anymore

Love don't live here anymore
Since you walked out of my door
Love don't live here
Love don't live here girl

Oh love don't live here anymore


I know it's early in the day here, but it's five o'clock somewhere...
The bar's open...

Copying Lissie, I will have a Mimosa please!

[Trip]

Not that I am into country much but I heard a new song lately that seemed pretty fit for this place. I will have to look it up and post it.

[NoCodeBlues]

Hey, Trip, one Mimosa comin' up...

(Gotta' go feed my S's some lunch next.)

[NoCodeBlues]

Oh, and I wanted to acknowledge Sue and Mike who posted in the last thread before it locked up. Thanks, you two.

(I need some more coffee myself.)

[Trip]

I am trying to find that song! pulling my hair out because it would help if I knew the artist's name.

Hi NC,

How's life treating you my friend? It's a overcast rainy day here. First time we have had rain in a while, we definitely needed it. It's cooled off nicely too.

It's the perfect day to go curl up with a good book and be lazy, I think that's what I will do.

Have a nice day.

Hugs, Yoyo

Hello, Yoyo, Lwb, Trip,

It was another relaxing day with my S's today. It rained here too, early this morning, and most of the day was overcast until late this afternoon when the sun came out.

So we went to church this morning. S7 has graduated to 2nd grade Sunday School (I am proud of him for his enthusiasm.) Then relaxed the rest of the day. Let the boys play, read them stories (including more Narnia), had another art lesson with S7 while S3 took his nap.

Not very productive, but relaxation is an accomplishment in and of itself.

I forgot to mention I listened to a podcast the other day from Focus on the Family, one that has gotten me thinking. It was two parts of a sermon by Andy Stanley (the son of Charles Stanley, I believe) concerning how we prioritize our time. The basic thought is that life throws more things at us than we can possibly accomplish with the time given us. The various spheres of interests in our lives are all vying for what little time we have, and we're all under the mistaken impression that we can accomplish even a fraction of what we're presented with. Thus we have to be judicious with where we devote our time and energies because there are some things that are not going to get nearly as much of our time as we might like.

The question then becomes, who in our lives are we going to cheat?

Most men, and now-of-days so many women, put the focus on our jobs, our careers, and we then neglect our spouses and/or our children. We ask our spouses and our children to hang on with us, to be patient, while we pursue the demands of our jobs. We thus tend to put off those most dear to us in our lives simply because it is easier to do so with those who are the most patient with us -- but then we go and give that devotion to people who have the least patience or tolerance for us, our employers. Put like that it is yet another reflection of how foolish I had been as a husband and a father.

There was a lot more to this sermon that struck a chord with me, including a haunting analogy to what this can do to our loved ones, but which I won't elaborate on at this time. I will say that I have been duly indicted, yet again, for my own contribution to the demise of my M and family.

My main regret is in not having been afforded the slightest opportunity to rebuild what I have broken.

OK, NCB, this uses up your time in the pity pool for the week.

We all make mistakes, we all fail, we all do. I find myself in so many stories, sermons, and other day to day things.

You have to quit kicking yourself. As long as you have been posting here you have stood tall and acknowledged your shortcomings. You have nothing to hang your head about.
