Makes me wish, sometimes....

Miss F is sick. Poor thing. Her timing is off. I have Monday off from school. Monday would've been a great day to be sick. Of course Mr. B has a training that only comes around once every 100 years like Hailey's Comet so he can't take off work. My 'partner' only works T/W so the library has to be shut down today in my absence (and this is a really bad time for me to be out @ work so I'm stressin'). Besides a poor, sick bebe, and lost work time we seem to have a pile of bills, our own health issues, we're buried under laundry and other chores and we're just beat down by the general rat race. So....in honor of this, I feel my mood is best described in the lyrics of Mark Wills. I found some pictures of happier days (but maybe not my best hair days...although, I still LOVE my pink hair)

I saw Star Wars at least eight times
Had the pac-man pattern memorized
And I've seen the stuff they put insideStretch Armstrong
I was Roger Staubach back in my back yard
Had a shoebox full of baseball cards
And a couple of Evil Kinevil stars
On my right arm
Well, I was a kid when Elvis died
And my mama cried

It was 1970-something
In the world that I grew up in
Farrah Faucett hair-do days
Bell bottoms and eight-track tapes
Lookin' back now I can see me
And oh, man did I look cheesy
But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
It was 1970-something

It was the dawning of a new decade
When we got our first microwave
And Dad broke down and finally shaved Those sideburns off
I took the stickers off of my Rubix cube
Watched MTV all afternoon
My first love was Daisy Duke
In them cut off jeans
A Space Shuttle fell out of the sky
And the whole world cried

It was 1980-something
In the world that I grew up in
Skating rinks and Black Trans Ams
Big hair and parachute pants
Lookin' back now I can see me
And oh, man did I look cheesy
But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
It was 1980-something

Now I got a mortgage and an SUV
But all this responsibility
Makes me wish sometimes
Sometimes....

It was 1980-something
In the world that I grew up in
Skating rinks and Black Trans Ams
Big hair and parachute pants
Lookin' back now I can see me
And oh, man did I look cheesy
But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
It was 1980-something1970-somethingAw, it was 19-Something.....

PS--to everyone asking....No, I don't know when my episode of Rachael Ray will air. I promise to let everyone know the minute I know anything. It could be weeks and/or months or the show could be cancelled before I ever make it on (which is just my luck.....)
