There is a quote: "LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORMS TO PASS.... IT'S ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN."
With 12 children and 5 adopted from Russia, we have had challenges and trials along with our joys. We have decided that we must
learn how to "dance in the rain." We must notice and acknowledge the joys and miracles in our lives.
They exist daily -- we just need to make sure we do not miss them!! This blog is to remind us of these miracles and joys!

JULY 17, 2012 -- "BACK IN T-I-M-E"

JULY 17, 2012 -- "BACK IN T-I-M-E"

We have had a lot of fun listening to the soundtrack CD from the Hannah Montana Movie.  It has a lot of fun songs on it.  I have a favorite song on there that is called "Backwards."  It makes me smile because it is just so clever and creative!  I just figured out tonight that Rascal Flats sings their version that I assumed came first that isn't as "family friendly" so I am now grateful for the film makers who edited the song and made it "G-rated" and family friendly!!!  Make sure to listen to the Hannah Montana Movie Version of the song!

Now, one of the reasons this song is my most favorite is the fun memory that is now attached to the song!  One day when Benjamin and I were driving in the car, this song came on and we were listening.  When it came to the part towards the end when it says:
"If we just could rewind it all and go back in T - I - M - E."
Benjamin, my clever funny boy, pushed the rewind button and jumped the music back to the beginning of that phrase and we heard it again, then again, then again and then again .......  his clever sense of humor took us back in "time" so many times that I was ready to bop him!  FINALLY!  I held his hand back without crashing and the song went forward!!!  We then made plans to do that for the kids that we were picking up to see how they reacted!  It was good and we all laughed!!!  
Now, we can't play that song straight through!  We have to "go back in time" at least a few times!!!  We love it!
Search the song and listen to it -- the Hannah Montana Version!!!  
It will make you laugh! 


HERE ARE THE LYRICS:
"BACKWARDS"
I was sitting on a wooden stool
In a barbecue joint in Tennessee
When this ole boy walked in
And he sat right down next to me
I could tell he'd been through some hard times
There were tear stains on his old shirt
And he said you wanna know what you get
When you play a country song backwards

You get your house back
You get your dog back
You get your best friend Jackson back
You get your truck back
You get your hair back
Ya get your first and second jobs back
Your front porch swing
Going ding-a-ling-a-ling
Your bling bling bling and a diamond ring
Your get your farm and the barn and the boat and the Harley
That old black cat named Charlie
Sounds a little crazy, a little scattered and absurd
But that's what you get when you play a country song backwards

Well I never heard it said quite like that
It hit me in the face cause that's where I'm at
I almost fell flat out on the floor
He said wait a minute that's not all theres even more

You get your mind back
Your nerves back
Your achy breaky heart back
You get your pride back
You get your life back
You get your first real love back
You get your big screen TV, a DVD and a washing machine
You get the pond and the lawn
The rake and the mower
You go back where life is slower
It sounds a little crazy a little scattered and absurd
But that's what you get
When you play a country song backwards
Oh play that song
Woo!!!

We sat there and talked about how it would be
If we could just rewind it all and go back in T-I-M-E


You get your house back
You get your dog back
You get your best friend Jackson back
You get your truck back
You get your hair back
Ya get your first and second jobs back
Your front porch swing
going ding-a-ling-a-ling
Your bling bling bling and a diamond ring
Your get your farm and the barn and the boat and the Harley
That old black cat named Charlie
You get your mind back
Your nerves back
Your achy break heart back
You get your pride back
You get your life back
You get your first real love back
You get your big screen TV, a DVD and a washing machine
You get the pond and the lawn
The rake and the mower
You go back where life is slower
It sounds a little crazy a little scattered and absurd
But that's what you get
When you play a country song backwards
