Everything Sucks!

I said good-bye today to Brad for four months. I was reflecting on things in the car on the drive home, as much as I could over Baileigh's crying and Mckenna's singing and Brooke's babbling (no pun there...but that made me laugh), and decided that the summary of my feelings was "This Sucks". It's not the most eloquent of terms, but the most genuine of where I was at. Ironically, a good friend of mine who is so much cooler then me and has made my girls want red hair too sent me a link to this song by MxPx which lyrically described where I'm at:

Everything Sucks (When You're Gone) by MxPx
All I ever needed was to eat popcorn with you
Come on over, watch the late show, stay up talking until two
Today's the day you're leaving and tomorrow you'll be gone
You're in my heart and on my mind, I will bring you along
Everything sucks when you're gone
Everything sucks when you're gone
I dream of our reunion, makes me crazy just to think
How so very far away you are, my hope begins to sink
Today's the day you're leaving and tomorrow you'll be gone
You're in my heart and on my mind, I will bring you along
Everything sucks when you're gone
Everything sucks when you're gone
And it's not okay; I made dinner here for two
And it's not okay; I've got candles lit for you
And it's not okay; I've got your favorite records out
And it's not okay; you should already be in route
Toooo meeeee
Today's the day you're leaving and tomorrow you'll be gone
You're in my heart and on my mind, I will bring you along
Everything sucks when you're gone
Everything sucks when you're gone
I want you, I need you...
Everything sucks when you're gone

It was a God-thing, finding that song. Some people might think that's a little strange; why would God point me to a song called "Everything Sucks"? But then I don't think those people know the same God I do.

I LOVE MxPx. How funny that song came up when you needed it. I have quite a bit going on in my life as well, and have had the same things happen. He surely is able to meet all our needs.
