    Just Might Make Me Believe

    I saw this video on tv today while I was cleaning the living room and like all the other songs I've posted from Sugarland.. I liked this one and so I thought I'd find the lyrics and put it on here :) So here it goes......



    Artist/Band: Sugarland
    Lyrics for Song: Just Might (Make Me Believe)
    Lyrics for Album: Twice the Speed of Life

    I got miles of trouble spreadin' far and wide
    Bills on the table gettin' higher and higher
    They just keep on comin', theres no end in sight
    I'm just holding on tight...
    I've got someone who loves me more then words can say
    And I'm thankful for that each and every day
    And if I count all my blessings,
    I get a smile on my face
    Still hard to find faith..

    Chorus:
    But if you look in my eyes
    And tell me we'll be alright
    If you promise never to leave
    You just might make me believe

    Its just day to day tryin' to make ends meet
    What id give for an address on easy street
    I need a deep margarita to help me unwind
    Leave my troubles behind...

    Repeat Chorus
    I used to believe in use
    When times got tough
    Lately I'm afraid that even love is not enough

    Chorus:
    But if you can look in my eyes
    And tell me we'll be alright
    If you promise never to leave
    you just might make
    Oh, you just might make me
    You just might make me believe

    Just listening to the song makes me smile cause there's time that I do think of we're in a position in a problem that I need to be told things will be alright.. and I do have somoene who loves me more than life itself.. and for that I'm grateful for having Robert in my life...

    Jesus Take The Wheel

    As most of ya'll know is that I like to listen to Country music and that sometimes I post music lyrics of the new songs that I like.. well there's a new one out by the American Idol winner Carrie Underwood.. She has such a beautiful voice and her songs I just absolutely love.. So I thought I'd post this one.. I'll mention my thoughts about the song at the bottom ....


    Artist/Band: Underwood Carrie
    Lyrics for Song: Jesus, Take The Wheel
    Lyrics for Album: Some Hearts

    She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
    On a snow white Christmas Eve
    Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat
    Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline
    It been a long hard year
    She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
    She was going way to fast
    Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass
    She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
    She didn't even have time to cry
    She was sooo scared
    She threw her hands up in the air

    Jesus take the wheel
    Take it from my hands
    Cause I can't do this all on my own
    I'm letting go
    So give me one more chance
    To save me from this road I'm on
    Jesus take the wheel
    It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
    And the car came to a stop
    She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock
    And for the first time in a long time
    She bowed her head to pray
    She said I'm sorry for the way
    I've been living my life I know
    I've got to change
    So from now on tonight

    Jesus take the wheel
    Take it from my hands
    Cause I can't do this all my own
    I'm letting go
    So give me one more chance
    To save me from this road
    I'm on Oh, Jesus take the wheel
    Oh, I'm letting go
    So give me one more chance
    Save me from this road I'm on

    From this road I'm on
    Jesus take the wheel
    Oh, take it, take it from me
    Oh, why, oh

    I take this song as seriously as I can.. there is so many times that I have made a wrong decision in life and it's led me down the wrong path and sometimes I just need to stop trying to control it and give it up to Jesus to help me get off the wrong path and help me go back to the right path..There has been many times I have wished that I had just made the right decisions but sometimes you don't know u made a bad decision till it's too late.. so when I realize I made a bad one.. I stop and pray to have the guidance and ask Jesus to take over and there has been times miracles happen where I can't even explain why they happened but I do know it was Jesus doing on helping me solve the issues..

    where did time go???

    Geez it's already Sunday!!! I feel like time is going so by so fast that i don't even get to relax this weekend.. the last 3 weeks has been sooo crazy and hectic for me that I just don't feel like i'm getting some relaxation on weekends.. sigh... guess that's what we get when we're older..

    First it started off with christmas.. since it fell on a Sunday we were off work on monday which i was glad and I got to rest but poor Robert had to work that day.. but by Tuesday when I went back to work.. we had to work harder to get our work caught up to be done by the deadline which puts a lot of stress on everyone else who does the same work as I do.. which there is a total of 4 of us ladies who do the same thing.. by that Friday Dec.30th one of the ladies was off from work because she was scheduled to work that Saturday.. we were called into one of our boss's office and had a meeting about Monday.. we were suppose to be off from work that Monday for New Year's day but we knew that another lady was going on vacation that week due to her 7 month old granddaughter was having open heart surgery that week.. so she wanted to go to Memphis to be with the baby because it was a 50-50 chance she'd make it..

    So we agreed to work on that Monday so we wouldn't be so far behind on our work because when 1 of us is out for a vacation or out sick it puts a strain on the other 3 and we work double hard to be able to done by the deadline.. so I was the one who was voted to call Carol (the one who was off friday because she worked that Saturday) to give her the news that we were gonna have to work that Monday.. I didn't look forward to making that phone call but I was the only one who had her Cell phone Number.. sigh.. Carol was NOT happy that we had to work but she knew what we would have to do so she agreed to be there Saturday..now let me tell ya that I could've left a note for her on her desk about Monday but who would want a note on their desk saying be there Monday?? I felt that was pretty cruel especially if she had plans that she would need to cancel..So believe me I was looking forward to that trip to the cabin in the Mtns. that weekend!!

    So when we went back to work Monday we all were being pretty upset about working but knew it was the right thing to do etc. but then here came the noise!! see our company is expanding the building out more so we'd have more room in the office since it's VERY cramped right now every office space is taken and there is just simply no room for anybody else to be there.. So they had some workers there Monday working and all that noise oh my gosh it was unbearable to work but we knew this was the 1st day of the next 7 months of hearing all the noises of construction workers etc. but luckily they only stayed half a day and they were gone.. I worked very hard to get things done and we were really happy we were able to get done by the deadline.. another lady in our little group had also gotten sick that week and had missed a few hours each 2 days she worked because she was really feeling sick.. We didn't think she needed to be there but she said we need to be done with the work.. sigh.. So now we started on the next week's work..

    Then the 3rd week.. ugh!!!! the baby had taken the turn for the worst and was still in ICU and wasnt' doing well so Brenda stayed in Memphis and wasn't coming back.. OH MY GOSH!!! we were feeling stressed then.. although we were worried about the baby we just didn't know what to do and why?? because Wanda was out sick too!!! she was told NOT to work for the whole week OH MAN!!! So I started coming into work EARLIER and staying later after 5 to be able to be done so I could start on either Wanda's or Brenda's work.. but on Tuesday we got the news the baby had gotten better and went through a 2nd surgery to repair what they had done on the 1st surgery and was pulling through much better so Brenda was coming back to work on Wedensday and so was Wanda!! she felt a bit better and wanted to be there to do her work..

    So on wedensday the gang was all back together by lunch time.. although we weren't even CLOSE to being done with our work there was a tremendous lift off my shoulder knowing everyone was back..but still I started helping Brenda with her work and amazingly enough.. by thursday at 4 pm we had gotten EVERYTHING done.. I think the others were surprised but we were done and so on Friday we were getting started with our Monday's work.. I just feel like I was getting runned over by a bulldozer because of all the things we had to go through at work.. But in the end I am glad that everyone is back..

    And for those who are wondering.. The baby is doing wonderful and was moved to a regular room on Friday morning and was told she could go home as early as yesterday (Saturday) or Today..So I am glad that she was getting better and getting stronger each day.. She has been through so much the last 7 months every since she was born she has struggled to stay alive and grow.. Although she's not out of the woods entirely she may have to have another heart surgery eventually but at least for now she's made it through..

    Tomorrow I was suppose to take the day off but I had postponed 1 of my doctor appts. and another appt tmw. afternoon for robert and me to see our family doctor had to be cancelled becuase our dr is out of town :( geeezzzzz so I'll go on to work and be stressed all over again hehe...

    I'm now working on deciding when I wanna take my vacations this year.. I get 2 weeks off a year and I wanna take one off earlier in the year like the spring time and take the other in the fall perhaps.. Sept or Oct.. depending on what happens with Oct... Time will tell eventually on that part no rush for me to decide when to take the one later in the year.. but for now IF we don't have any bad weather I won't have to take vacation days for those winter snowy days and I'll take it for a full week but when?!?!?! hmmmm March.. Or April... May?? I hate it when I want something so bad but not knowing when I wanna do it LOL..

    Well gonna close this post and work on another post.. see ya then...
