I know it has been a while. I have been in a terrible funk. It seems as though so many things are changing in my world, yet so much is still the same. I had sort of giving up on blogging because I had decided that "if I couldn't do it right I just wasn't going to do it." That has sort of become my mantra over the past couple of weeks. At the same time of being so frustrated with myself - I am overwhelmed with the blessings I have been given. In all of those blessings, Ryan is one of my greatest. He is forgetful, he procrastinates, he loves football (a little too much) but hands-down he is the best, most hard-working, caring, husband and father. I couldn't have asked for a better role model for my kids.
A few weeks ago, I heard a song by the same person in the Dollar General. I asked the cashier (who was singing along at the top of her lungs) the name of the artist. We discovered this song - it has become Ryan's mantra to me. I think maybe I should be insulted, but I am not, It fits. And as I am often heard saying: "well if the shoe fits"
I am not always glad to be "not right" but I am eternally grateful for being "just right for him".
Lyrics:
She got her daddy's tongue and temper (not really - its my mothers)
Sometimes her mouth could use a filter (not for dirty words - just sometimes unkind words)
God shook his head the day he built her
Oh, but I bet he smiled.
She loves and lives her life unruly
Tears up that dirt road up in a dualy
Dangerous, absolutely. (Not really dangerous - just always have a plan)
And in a little while...
She'll be roundin' that corner on three wheels (not really - they just say I drive everything like a go-cart)Ain't slowin down, yellin "Come on, jump in"
Always up to somethin, crazy got nothin' on her
Chorus:
She ain't right, she ain't right
She ain't right, but she's just right for me
She says she wants to meet my momma
I said, I don't think you oughta
Be like mixin' oil and water
But by midnight she had
momma on the coffee table dancin'
Comin' unwound
Good God I swear, can't take her anywhere
What's the girl gonna do next
Chorus:
She ain't right, she ain't right
She ain't right, but she's just right for me
Every once in a while she'll give me that smile and say,
I just don't see somebody like you lovin' somebody like me
She ain't right, naw she ain't right
She ain't right
She ain't right, she ain't right
She's just right, she's just right,
She's just right for me
Mhhmmm she's just right, she's just right.
She ain't right, she's just right for me.
