Ok...I've been a little out of it lately..sleeping my life away! That's right..national kissing day (my favorite thing to do) and I have MONO...go figure!! GRR!! Anyway, maybe its because I am a little extra emotional today or maybe I'm just full of thought today but I have a lot to talk about. First of all...I love all you girls out there who have the same sappy part of you that just loves love songs like me. That's what I've been doing the past hour....trading good love songs to download with kelli! Girls....we just pour salt into our own wounds sometimes..but we can't help it!
Secondly..this is kinda cheesy and I know I will probably be given a hard time over this but I was very inspired by 7th heaven last night. It was a rerun but one I've never seen. About Ruthie (the youngest girl for all of you non watchers) and her pen pal marine in Afghanistan. How he dies and it affects the whole family and even community because Ruthie made this one statistic a person. And in a way I wish we could do that with ever one of those guys ( and girls) out fighting for our country because I know we are all guilty of watching the news and seeing the numbers and statistics and not really thinking about what those things mean. They mean that someones brother, son, daughter, dad, friend, sister, etc, has been taken from them. Now put yourself in that place. They deserve a little moment...after all..they are fighting so we dont' have to. Ok..I told you it would be cheesy...but ya know..at least I warned ya.
Ok and the last think I have to talk about is my dad. I would like for you all to know I have the best dad EVER..hands down. I am not kidding..he is the most amazing man I've ever encountered and I was lucky enough to have him as my dad. He has stories of his life I could sit and listen to for hours. He is completely selfless. His family comes first...over everything..over his own wants and needs. He would work and bust his *ss 24/7 if it meant keeping us with the things the things that make us "comfortable" and "happy." When he found out I had mono last week he called the doctor to get "doctor's orders" and with that called me and told me I was coming home to REST for the weekend..and although I was mad and didn't want to stay at home in my uneventful house...how terrible is that...to have a dad..that even when you are 20 years old wants to make sure you are ok..and taking care of yourself. There are people in the world...some I know..that wouldn't even give a second thought to their children being sick at a young age..especially as adults. When I was at home this weekend my dad told me about his favorite lullaby to sing to me when I was a baby and he rocked me in the rocking chair. He downloaded it for me and I LOVE it! I cried..I told you I was a sappy girl. It's called "Dolphin's Lullaby" by Firefall (some 70s group). " As sailing ships and secrets fill your dreams with delight, anything you want is yours to keep, for the night. I won't let no bad dreams come and bother you, Just put your trust in me. I'll be standing by to keep a watch on you while you're away at sea. Singin dolphin's over the ocean, where it's clear and its deep. Help the wave with your gentle motion and rock this child to sleep, you got to rock this child....rock this child to sleep." It's such a good song! I love it! Anyway..talking about my dad...he works 60 hours a week just to make sure we have cars that will keep us moving, clothes that will make us happy, food that will keep us full and a lifestyle to keep us entertained. He doesn't have to. He could tell us all to earn our own money. Its up to us...but no..him and my mom...are truly great parents (don't get me wrong..they do have their faults). There are people that have a lot of book smarts..or a lot of street smarts or maybe a little of both..my dad is none of that..he is smarter than I could ever wish to be..and as for street (common) knowledge...you ask..he answers....truly amazing. I know I sound like a small child who hasn't realized her daddy isn't superman yet but DUDE...he's damn close! :) No, don't get me wrong..I get mad at him..and he wouldn't be so great without the help of my mom sometimes...but I am truly blessed to have them both. I mean really...how many of you have your dad tell you your butt stinks and you smile and tell him his stinks much worse?!? Yeah....that's what I thought! Goodnight all..mono girl is losing sleep!
