Living in Chowchilla made me listen to lots of music.

It made me appreciate words to songs.

Like, "Sounds like life to me"

Got a call last night from an old friend’s wife

Said I hate to bother you

Johnny Ray fell off the wagon

He’s been gone all afternoon

I know my buddy so I drove to Skully’s

And found him at the bar

I say hey man, what’s going on

He said I don’t know where to start

Sarah’s old car’s about to fall apart

And the washer quit last week

We had to put momma in the nursing home

And the baby’s cutting teeth

I didn’t get much work this week

And I got bills to pay

I said I know this ain’t what you wanna hear

But it’s what I’m gonna say

(Chorus)

Sounds like life to me it ain’t no fantasy

It’s just a common case of everyday reality

Man I know it’s tough but you gotta suck it up

To hear you talk you’re caught up in some tragedy

It sounds like life to me

Well his face turned red and he shook his head

He said you don’t understand

Three kids and a wife depend on me

And I’m just one man

To top it off I just found out

That Sarah’s 2 months late

I said hey bartender set us up a round

We need to celebrate

(Chorus)

Sounds like life to me plain old destiny

Yeah the only thing for certain is uncertainty

You gotta hold on tight just enjoy the ride

Get used to all this unpredictability

Sounds like life

Man I know its tough but you gotta suck it up

To hear you talk you’re caught up in some tragedy

Sounds like life to me

Sounds like life

Joe and I are now the (for lack of a better word) proud owners of a mini-van.

After we totaled our car last week (after getting insurance 3 hours before, and now the insurance company thinking we are trying to pull of insurance fraud), it was a bit rough. But hey, we didn't like the car anyway- it just sucks we couldn't have got rid of it in a better way. (like purposefully burning it in a bonfire, maybe? =] )

But hey, sounds like life to me!

We have so much to do. We are finally home, on our BEAUTIFUL CALIFORNIA COAST for 2 weeks, relaxing before school. But things are still bombarding us:

-Insurance agents

-Financial aid

-Moving to Idaho

-Making time to visit all our family and friends

-Errands that are boring

-Training our puppy (who is adorably sleeping next to me! =])

Sounds like life to me!

My family. =]
