Eyes Open

Bouncing back from my day yesterday and looking forward to what I hope to be a relaxed weekend full of garage sale shopping, playing outside, and spending time with those I love.

Yesterday as I was driving back from dropping Drew off at work ( I am so blessed to have him continuously willing to drive me around and sacrafice lunches with his friends everyday for lunches with me.) the new Taylor Swift song from the Hunger Games (still would like to see that!)

Here are the lyrics:

Everybody's waiting Everybody's watching Even when you're sleeping Keep your eye, eyes open The tricky thing is Yesterday we were just children Playing soldiers, just pretending Dreaming dreams with happy endings In backyards, Winning battles with the wooden swords But now we've stepped into a cruel world Where everybody stands in, Keep score Keep your eyes open Everybody's waiting For you to breakdown Everybody's watching To see the fallout Even when you're sleeping, sleeping Keep your eye, eyes open Keep your eye, eyes open Keep your eye, eyes open So here you are, Two steps ahead and staying on guard, Every lesson forms a new scar They never thought you'd make it this far But turn around And they've surrounded you It's a showdown And nobody comes to save you now But you got something they don't Yeah, you got something they don't You just gotta keep your eyes open Everybody's waiting For you to breakdown Everybody's watching To see the fallout Even when you're sleeping, sleeping Keep your eye, eyes open Keep your eye, eyes open Keep your eye, eyes Keep your feet ready Heartbeat steady Keep your eyes open Keep your aim locked The night grows dark Keep your eyes open Keep your eye, eyes open Keep your eye, eyes open Keep your eye, eyes open Keep your eye, eyes open Everybody's waiting For you to breakdown Everybody's watching To see the fallout Even when you're sleeping, sleeping Keep your eye, eyes open Keep your eyes open Keep your eye, eyes open Keep your eyes open Keep your eye, eyes open

I loved it instantly! I am not a huge Tay Swift fan but the girl has some catchy tunes. Sometimes I just feel attacked and as though the world is just waiting for me to fail... especially in handling my Mom's business affairs. Sometimes it feels as if I have been thrown into the deep-end without a life jacket one... and let me tell  you I am NOT a great swimmer. I can hold my head up and survive for a little bit but I am quickly getting weary. It seems just when I feel something is a solid ledge to stand on it is washed away. A divorce that was supposed to take 90 days is now going on 8 months. I am trying to get Mom involved in things during the day and just when I have something set up she isn't in the mood for it. The hardest part is seeing what she is dealing with and knowing that as difficult as it is for me it is 1000x more difficult for her. I hate it! I would love to whisk her off to Ireland for a trip or to the ocean somewhere for her to watch the whales migrating. Instead we are here fighting the battle against time everyday and wishing and praying for something to change.

Anywhoo....

Let me tell you about the greatest thing a girl could ever want, it is not a diamond (although those are always nice :) ) it is not new clothes, nor is it chocolate. Nope the greatest thing ever is your very own personal hair stylist! One who lives with you and will cut, color, and curl  your hair for you at 10:00pm from the comfort of your very own bathroom. Yes, Neeley is AMAZING at doing hair. I mean talk about a God-given gift! She has impeccable direction for each person's hair style and color. She even does my brows! I am loving loving her choice of profession and the benefits I get from it! I seriously could not be proud of her! So two nights ago she colored my hair, I was wanting to go a little bit lighter to embrace the warm weather coming.

This was my inspiration and what it looks like on me...

Not the best lighting for it  but Neeley NAILED the color!

My Love and I last night at Doss' birthday party

HAPPY WEEKEND ALL!
