Bring It On Home

Lyrics: Bring It on Home

You've got someone here
Wants to make it all right
Someone to love you more
Than I have right here
You've gotta bring it on and I'll hold you tight
A hand to lead you on through the night right here
I know your heart can get
All tangled up inside
But don't you keep it to yourself

When your long day is over
And you can barely drag your feet
When the weight of the world
Is on your shoulders
I know what you need
Bring it on home to me

You know I know you
Like the back of my hand
You know I'm gonna do
All that I can right here
Gonna lie with you
Till you fall asleep
When the morning comes
I'm still gonna be right here
Yes, I am
(Ooooooooooooo)
So take your worries and
Just drop them at the door
Baby, leave it all behind

When your long day is over
And you can barely drag your feet
When the weight of the world
Is on your shoulders
I know what you need
Bring it on home to me

Baby, let me be your safe harbor
Don't let the water come
And carry you away
When your long day is over
And you can barely drag your feet
When the weight of the world
Is on your shoulders
I know what you need
Bring it on home to me
Oh, bring it on home
Oh, bring it on home to me
Home to meOh, bring it on, bring it on home to me
You've got someone here wants
To make it all right
Someone who loves you more
Than life right here

What Hurts The Most

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don’t bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I’m not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I’m ok
But that’s not what gets me

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin’ to do

It’s hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I’m doin’ It
It’s hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I’m alone
Still HarderGetting up, getting dressed, livin’ with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
Not seeing that loving you
That’s what I was trying to do

Over The Hedge

What a cute, cute movie...Brenna got to see her very first movie theater movie today...she did sooo well...sat on Mimi's lap almost the whole time. She didn't say but a couple of words...Of course she didn't get some of the humor, but I thought it was funny...she ate popcorns and drank from a HUGE cup...and she was smitten by the big screen...can't wait to take her to the free movies during the week...She's gonna love it!

101 things about me

101 Things to know about Me!!

1 I absolutely adore my baby girl…she is the love of my life
2 I go by my middle name because my Mother didn’t like the way Michelle Angela flows

84 I’ve moved—OMG—23 times in my life
85 I think I’m finally settled for a little while at least
86 I don’t have too many plans beyond the next say 5 years—I don’t know why
87 I’m a list writer—chronically
88 I love Diet Sierra Mist on ICE AND the new Diet Dr Pepper Berries and Cream
89 I have clippers and a file where ever I go
90 I’m not much for the beach—I hate sand
91 I love swimming in a pool though
92 I love going on vacation with family
93 I’d like to try parasailing one day
94 I can’t fly a kite nor can I juggle
95 I hate shopping, but I love spending money…
96 One can never have too many purses or shoes
97 I am a germophobe—in a major way…I hold my breath when someone coughs or sneezes around me
98 I kill spiders with my bare feet…
99 I have secrets no one will ever know
100 I like myself and am proud of my accomplishments
101 I want my own home again…I truly miss that family time…

Broken Road

"Rascal Flatts - Bless the Broken Road"

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.

To Make You Feel My Love

When the rain is blowing in your face

And the whole world is on your case

I could offer you a warm embrace

To make you feel my love

When evening shadows and the stars appear

And there's is no one to dry your tears

I could hold you for a million years

To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet

But I would never do you wrong

I've known it from the moment that we met

There's no doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue

I'd go crawling down the avenue

There ain't nothing' that I wouldn't do

To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on a rolling sea

And on the highway of regret

The winds of change are blowing wild and free

You ain't seen nothin' like me yet

There ain't nothin' that I wouldn't do

Go to the ends of the earth for you

Make you happy make your dreams come true

To make you feel my love

TMI Tuesday

TMI Tuesday May 9th, 2006 stolen from Monkey

1. After a night of great sex, who do you tell? How much? no one really...

2. Should prostitution be legal? why shouldn't it...if someone wants to pay someone else for sex and both parties agree--where's the problem?

3. On a scale from 1-10, how selfish are you? You'd have to ask everyone who knows me...but I think I CAN be pretty selfish at times...

4. Name something you haven't tried, but have been thinking about trying. Pilates--maybe??

5. If you could have sex with any celebrity, who would you pick and why? (and don't think of this question as cheating… you aren't attached at the time, k?) Giving thought to it now, there's a couple, but I haven't ever really thought about it...

Bonus (as in "optional"): Have you ever dyed your pubic hair or shaved it in a pattern? no…
