My Favorite Things

One of my all time favorite movies is the Sound of Music. I could watch that movie anytime that it is on and never get bored with it. 

My children don't like watching it with me because I tend to sing every song, not that I can carry a tune but I sing anyway. I have the soundtrack on my iPod, I even went to a Sound of Music sing along with a few friends (dressed up in character….I was a nun)

Working the night shift does crazy things to your thought process, I was trying to think of blog topics and I decided that I would change the lyrics to My Favorite Things to adapt to my crazy life, I have to admit I was laughing quite a bit after I wrote this.

Here are the original lyrics....

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens

Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into Springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad.

And here are mine... Sing along with the video...

Water faucets running and toilets need cleaning
Bright colored stains on the floors and the ceiling
Laundry is waiting for someone to fold
These are a few of the things I am told……..

The dogs are so hungry and so are the fishes
I cannot feed them I have to do dishes
I forgot to buy milk, so I got out in the cold
These are a few of the things I am told…….

Homework is not done, there's a project that's due
I think I am coming down with a flu
I'm tired, I'm achy, but I need to be bold
These are a few of the things I am told…..

When the kids sleep
When homework's done
When the house is clean
I sit and remember that this is all mine
And then I have a glass of wine…..

Here's what I know...In My Life....if you can't laugh a little you may as well stay in bed.
