I love when song lyrics speak to my heart! This is one of those songs!

Stand Back Up
Sugarland

Go ahead and take your best shot,
Let 'er rip, give it all you've got,
I'm laid out on the floor, but I've been here before,
I may stumble, yeah I might fall,
IM Only human but aren't we all?
I might lose my way, but hear me when I say,

I will stand back up,
You'll know just the moment when I've had enough,
Sometimes I'm afraid, and I don't feel that tough,
But I'll stand back up,

I've been beaten up and bruised,
I've been kicked right off my shoes,
Been down on my knees more times than you'd believe,
When the darkness tries to get me,
There's a light that just won't let me,
It might take my pride, and tears may fill my eyes,
But I'll stand back up,

I've weathered all these storms,
But I just turn them into wind, so I can fly,
What don't kill you makes you stronger,
When I take my last breath,
That's when I'll just give up,

So, go ahead and take your best shot,
Let 'er rip, give it all you've got,
You might win this round but you can't keep me down,

'Cause I'll stand back up,
And you'll know just the moment when I've had enough,
Sometimes I'm afraid and I don't feel that tough,
But I'll stand back up,

You'll know just the moment when I've had enough,
Sometimes I'm afraid and I don't feel that tough,
But I'll stand back up.

These are by far my most favorite snack cakes. Problem is they only come out during the Christmas season! So last night ... with my held high I walk into publix with these yummy treats being my main priority. After not being able to find them myself ... I asked 3 different Publix employees ... none of them had any clue what I was talking about and ALL of them stared at me like I was crazy while I tried explaining how badly I wanted these little cakes. Anyhow, I walked out of the store empty handed (well not really I had groceries ... but these are what I really wanted). I was not a happy camper!

Randomly hilarious!

ooo how I would have loved to have known her!

Is this not the story of my life? I was born a multi-tasker ... It's not my fault!

OOOOoooo.... man this is a really really hard thing to do today. Let's see if I can list 10 things positive that have weathered through this shitty day!!!!

1. My brother can now join us for Christmas
2. My best friend will be home so very soon!
3. My brother has an amazing girlfriend ... whom helped me tackle all the obstacles today
4. My girls are healthy & unaware of any of the circumstances of today
5. I have a great support system of friends who love & care about me
6. My boss didn't even question me leaving for a couple hours
7. I have the highest power helping me through my day
8. Carlos brought me a bagel & a hot chocolate (bc I hate coffee ... but love hot chocolate)
9. I have TWO loves of my life & they call me Mama!
10. I will get to see my brother tomorrow

Well that wasn't so hard!

My New Fave Song!!!!

One of the Boys
by Gretchen Wilson

I can do most anything a man can do
I can hold my liquor with the best of you
Even take your money in a game of pool
Yeah, I'd kick your butt if I wanted to
And I don't mind when people cuss in front of me
The truth is I don't blush that much at anything
But I still got this little girl inside of me
That likes to be treated like a queen

I know I don't act much like a lady
But I still need to be somebody's baby
Yeah, you might find me making to much noise
But I'm more than just one of the boys
Yeah, I'm more than just one of the boys

God knows I ain't ever been the clingy type
Looking for a man to make it all all right
But I don't mind admitting sometimes late at night
Well, I need someone to hold me tight

I know I don't act much like a lady
But I still need to be somebody's baby
Yeah, you might find me making to much noise
But I'm more than just one of the boys
Yeah, I'm more than just one of the boys

Hear it here

My goal everyday!

Anyone & everyone who knows me knows I LOVE shoes! Aren't these just fabulous? They need to join my collection. Soon!
