My Nerves are Totally Shot!

Woke up this mornin’ with a twitch in my eye,
Coffee pot broke, and I let out a sigh.
The dog chewed the cord to the internet box,
Now I’m sittin’ here talkin’ to a wall and a clock.

Bills are stackin’ up like laundry I forgot,
I'm one bad mood away from losin’ the plot.

My nerves are totally shot, I swear I'm barely hangin' on,
Feelin’ like a rubber band stretched way too long.
I laugh, then I cry, then I shout at the sky—
If one more thing goes wrong, I might just say goodbye
(to sanity, not y’all—I ain’t goin’ nowhere).
Yeah, my nerves are totally shot, and I just don’t care.

Some folks say, “Girl, just breathe and relax,”
But I’ve tried that, along with bubble baths and snacks.
The washer's broke, the cat threw up on my shoe,
And my voicemail’s full of things I still gotta do.

I keep smilin’ like a pageant queen on cue,
But inside I’m screamin’ like a kettle about to spew.

My nerves are totally shot, I'm a mess in disguise,
Tryin’ to hold it together with duct tape and lies.
I laugh, then I cry, then I talk to the wall—
If one more thing happens, I might just lose it all.
But till then, I’ll sip this tea and plot...
‘Cause my nerves are totally shot.

Don’t need a vacation, I need a padded room,
Or maybe just a quiet night with no sense of doom.
Give me one day where nothin’ goes wrong—
Till then I’ll keep singin’ this broken-nerved song.

Yeah, my nerves are totally shot, and that’s just the truth,
I’m a tired soul in stretchy pants, losin’ my youth.
But I’ll laugh, then I cry, then I throw up my hands,
And hope the good Lord above still understands.
Life’s a lot... more often than not—
Yeah, my nerves... are totally shot.

So, one day I came home, and after a hectic day at work, I came home to this! I thought it would be a good song. I have never heard anyone out there ever put this to words and I feel that it is my obligation to put things into song that nobody would even consider singing about.

Power outages in Arkansas

I am sitting in my car charging my cell phone. Saturday morning some storms came through that did a lot of damage.

Below I am posting some pictures and a link to my YouTube page where I took some videos from Saturday after the storms.

We are on Entergy and there are lots of outages. We live in rural Saline County so it may be awhile. They are saying tomorrow night at 10pm but I guess we will see.

Our neighbors have gas generators that kick on because they are hooked up to the natural gas lines. They are expensive so we can’t afford it right now. My husband did buy one but he t needs work so we can’t use it.

This isn’t the first time that storms came through like this. I’m just glad it didn’t happen with the ice and snow. It is 49 degrees right now and tomorrow it is supposed to get up into the 60s. So if I don’t go to work then it won’t be to bad to stay home.

You’re the Best Deal of My Life

How do I love you? Let me say,
Through every find, through every day.
From flea markets to Sunday drives,
With you, my love, my heart still thrives.

I loved you when the world seemed wide,
Through trailer hauls and deals to find.
Through laughter loud and moments small,
You've been my greatest prize of all.

I will love you still through every year,
Through every joy, through every tear.
Side by side, through thick and thin,
I'd choose you over and over again.

I loved you in our younger days,
Through all the dreams, through all the maze.
From "Look what I found!" to "Just one more,"
You made my life worth searching for.

I loved you in the quiet nights,
The stories shared, the wrongs made right.
Through winding roads and steps we've climbed,
My love grows stronger every time.

I will love you still through every year,
Through every joy, through every tear.
Side by side, through thick and thin,
I'd choose you over and over again.

We’ve built a life, a love so true,
Through ups and downs, we made it through.
With every joke, with every sigh,
You're still the twinkle in my eye.

No map, no plan, just you and me,
A love as wild as it can be.
Through every sale and every find,
You're still the best deal of my life.

I will love you still through every year,
Through every joy, through every tear.
Side by side, through thick and thin,
I'd choose you over and over again.

Through every storm, through every mile,
Your hand in mine makes it all worthwhile.
After all these years, through thick and thin,
I'm still right here, just like I've always been

April Day’s ~ Just a song to celebrate the month of April

April starts with tricks and fun,
April Fools’—better watch out, everyone!
Then Autism Awareness shines so bright,
Spreading love, understanding, and light.

So many days, so much to do,
Every sunrise brings something new.
From Earth Day green to Easter delight,
April’s got something that feels just right!

Oh, April days, come and play,
Celebrate life in a special way!
From laughing out loud to dancing around,
April’s the month where joy is found.

World Health Day comes—take care, be strong,
And hug your pet on the 11th, all day long!
Then we cheer for books on the 23rd,
Grab a story—let your imagination be heard.

So many days, so much to do,
Every sunrise brings something new.
From Earth Day green to Easter delight,
April’s got something that feels just right!

Oh, April days, come and play,
Celebrate life in a special way!
From laughing out loud to dancing around,
April’s the month where joy is found.

On the 15th, we pay our dues,
Tax Day’s here, but don’t feel blue.
Then Earth Day comes, let’s plant some trees,
A greener world, fresh air to breathe.

Pajamas to work, on the 16th, why not?
Superhero Day, go save a spot!
World Penguin Day—so cool, so neat,
Then Dance Day comes, just move your feet!

So many days, so much to do,
Every sunrise brings something new.
From Earth Day green to Easter delight,
April’s got something that feels just right!

Oh, April days, come and play,
Celebrate life in a special way!
From laughing out loud to dancing around,
April’s the month where joy is found.

Oh, April days, come and play,
Celebrate life in a special way!
From laughing out loud to dancing around,
April’s the month where joy is found.

April’s got sunshine, April’s got rain,
But every day, there’s joy to gain.
So mark your calendar, don’t delay,
And celebrate each April day!

April’s got sunshine, April’s got rain,
But every day, there’s joy to gain.
So mark your calendar, don’t delay,
And celebrate each April day!
