Grateful For Music Challenge Day 22

🙄🙄🙄....

....when you try to do something fun like take your nice new bike out for a crisp ride because your daily "holiday" calendar says it's "go for a ride day" and then half-way through your ride your back tire looks a little low and like it might need some air so you try to pump it up but clearly don't know what you are doing, in fact you're making it worse by releasing more air somehow so your younger brother has to come pick you up and explain what you did wrong and fix your problems for you...

Yeah. So all of THAT 👆 just happened. I'm so annoyed. I feel so stupid. It's a miracle I can accomplish the most basic of things like preparing my own food without burning the house down! I feel so helpless and foolish all of the dang time. I swear I can't do anything. Especially since, whenever I try to handle my own sh** I start to get overwhelmed and panicked and stressed and have to call for help within 10 minutes of my own attempting. 

*Sigh* On top of all that, my mom has come down with a nasty cold so I'll be making Thanksgiving dinner this year. Yes, I, as in singular!! Because everyone else has a life so they'll be out doing that while I actually have to do something with mine! And I'm gonna stress and cry and whine about it the whole time because I can't even make a regular weeknight dinner for my family without the kitchen exploding everywhere and getting stressed out of my mind! And that's just ONE dish, I usually don't even think far enough in advance to include sides! So yeah. A little overwhelmed and intimidated by that. I'm hoping to get a head start and begin prepping some stuff today and tomorrow so I don't get too freaked out but who am I kidding? 10 minutes before we eat come Thanksgiving day I'll still be trying to get stuff prepared and be in a bad attitude because we won't be eating for another hour! 

Venting over. 

I am super, duper grateful for my sweet, amazing, superior, knowledgeable, cool and calm as a cucumber brother who was available and able to come to my rescue. I'm grateful the weather was nice so I wasn't out there freezing. I'm grateful I was in an easy location to be "rescued." I'm grateful I didn't get hurt. I'm grateful my tire isn't completely ruined like I feared. I'm grateful for my health and the opportunity to have a Thanksgiving meal. To get to make and eat the foods I love and look forward to all year long. I'm grateful we have two ovens and refrigerators to hold and cook all of our food. I'm grateful my dad was able to help me get all the ingredients yesterday. I'm grateful for music to listen to as I work. I have so much to be grateful for! 

Song: Rainbow Connection 🌈

Artist: Kermit the Frog & Kenny Loggins

This song has nothing to do with anything whatsoever. I just love it and wanted to share it today! 

🐸💚🌈

My favorite version! 💓🌈

Why are there so many

Songs about rainbows?

And what's on the other side

Rainbows are visions

But only illusions

And rainbows have nothing to hide

So we've been told

And some choose to believe it

I know they're wrong wait and see

Someday we'll find it

The rainbow connection 🌈

The lovers, the dreamers and me

Who said that ev'ry wish

Would be heard and answered

When wished on the morning star

Somebody thought of that

And someone believed it

Look what it's done so far

What's so amazing

That keeps us star-gazing?

And what do you think we might see?

Someday we'll find it

The rainbow connection 🌈

The lovers, the dreamers and me

All of us under its spell

We know that it's probably magic!

Have you been half asleep

And have you heard voices

I've heard them calling my name

Is this the sweet sound

That calls the young sailors

The voice might be one and the same

I've heard it too many times to ignore it

It's something that I'm supposed to be

Someday we'll find it

The rainbow connection 🌈

The lovers, the dreamers and me

La la la le la la loo

La la la la le la la loo
