(if you can name that movie, i will admire you forever. if you know which word i changed, you will be ranked as extra awesome in my book.)
the most exciting blog hop of my whole life is coming, TONIGHT!!!
(just in case you forgot.)
the jessicasprague.com blog hop starts 10 pm (est) here.
then a few hops more (36 to be exact) and you’ll be here!!!
(like right here.. my blog.)
to prove my excitement, i made a layout today…
it’s complete with lyrics that seriously bring me to tears lately.
(click on image for list of full credits.)
lyrics, for your tearing-up pleasure:
"Story's read, prayer is said
Close your eyes sleepyhead
While angels linger in your dreams
And hold you in their feathered wings
Just like you, I was small
Not that long ago at all
I wish you all the happiness
That God gives freely if you ask.
When you reach for the stars
Don't forget who you are
And please don't turn around and grow up way too fast
See the sand in my grasp
From the first to the last
Every grain becomes a memory of the past
Oh, life's an hourglass
Life's an hourglass."
(but i suggest listening to the song to get the full, tear-jerking effect.) (wink, wink, wink..)
song: mindy gledhill, “hourglass”
peyton had to drive the point home, one drizzly day while i was busily painting, trying to distract myself from life and all that was going on. i was listening to this song, like really listening to what it was saying. i was getting teary, and right after the line, “and please don’t turn around and grow up way too fast..” peyton runs up to me, hugs my leg and says: “i love you mommy!!”
it made my heart hurt just a little. she is doing just what i need her to slow down in doing!!
oh well, a little blog hopping can’t hurt anyone in the cheer-up department. ;)
