Jenny On the Spot

Now this is fun… I found it at ReadingWritingLiving many moons ago, and it’s been sitting in my drafts folder since. Many of my songs are gut-bustin’ funny, others are just dumb…. Let me know if you decide to check out your… musical fortune. Here’s how you too can do this at home. Put your mp3 player on shuffle. Say the following questions aloud, and press play. Use the song title as the answer to the question. NO CHEATING….

How does the world see you?
“Everybody Dance Now” by C&C Music Factory (Is anyone who knows me really surprised??? In fact, it’s a little freakay…)

Will I have a happy life?
“Like a Child” by Jars of Clay (kids are happy people, especially when they get chocolate milk and coins for the bubble gum machine)

What do my friends really think of me?
“I Must Have It” by Veggie Tales (eww, that’s charming)

What do people secretly think of me?
“Man Of God” by Audio Adrenaline (that’s better)

How can I be happy?
“Black Hole Sun” by Soundgarden (black sun = happy…)

Will I ever have (more) children?
“He That Is In Us” by Hosanna Music (I have nothing to say)

What is some good advice for me?
“Believe” by The Newsboys (true, true…)

How will I be remembered?
“Self Control” by The Music Machine (yeah. no.)

What is my signature dancing song?
“Majesty” by Delirious? (picture flags of many beautiful colors, flowing scarves, tamborines and a big open field)

What do I think my current theme song is?
“Yuletide Medley #1 (Oh Holy Night/Joy To The World/Oh Little Town Of Bethlehem/Deck The Halls) by the Glenn Miller - In The Christmas Mood Holiday album (OK, I do love holiday music)

What does everyone else think my current theme song is?
“I Will Sing” by Hillsongs of Australia (sure if I’m at a karaoke bar - and have had a dose of “liquid courage”)

What song will play at my funeral?
“Gargantua’s Last Stand” by Man…Or Astroman? (seriously)

What is my day going to be like?
“It Is You” (Live) by the Newsboys (huh?)

Seriously, where is it? I can’t find enough. If you happen find extra time, I’ll give a good price for it. I’ll take it over gold… seriously.

This crisis comes on the heels of moving and getting our old place ready to rent. Oh, did I mention I’m homeschooling the boy, so, yeah… time.

I need time to finish unpacking, organize what’s been unpacked, school the boy, do the preschool-mom thing(s), exercise, maintain a relationship with my husband, cook meals (take-out is killing us). I also need some girlfriend time, some exercise time, some Bible-reading time, some praying time, some down-time, some “I am such an attentive and creative mother” time, some dancin’ time… and even a bit of alone time. Then there’s diaper changing time, laundry time, eyebrow-plucking time, blog time, pumpkin carving time (ok, next month), cleaning the corners time, and homeschooling time - did I mention homeschool planning time? I need time a chiropractor, and a deep-tissue massage, but I did make time for the dentist in July…
