Trying
I’m trying to see if I can write often but it seems I can’t. Yesterday two of my children didn’t go to school so my morning was spoiled. I’m not so fine with changing plans.
Today I woke up with a terrible headache and that makes things even more difficult. I couldn’t practice playing my mandolin because I feel it’s too noisy. Now I kind of get my children… Learning to play an instrument is only fun for the person playing that instrument. That reminds me when my son wanted to learn how to play the flute… So glad those days are over.
Hopefully next week I’ll be more ready to write and to read other people’s blogs. I don’t like not being able to read but truly, my days are shorter than what I’d wish. And maybe it’s just me being paranoid but sometimes I get the feeling people get mad if someone doesn’t read and like the stuff they wrote. That’s reason number one why I don’t like Facebook but I still have the fake account because otherwise it’s impossible to use some apps… I hope that’ll change soon. I don’t think it’s fair that they need to know ALL your information before they allow you to play a freaking game…. Ugh… I miss writing… Venting is great. And just now I realize why my children kept asking me why I stopped writing… The more I write, the less they have to listen to me venting, ranting, swearing and stuff like that. They know once I start, I go on and on until I’m out of breath. While I write, only the keyboard suffers… and maybe my readers… Sorry!
And It’s Friday, I’m in love! I miss that too. I enjoyed looking for a fitting song. Maybe I should do that again. Life is too short. Dreaming is nice but making dreams come true, is even nicer.
So here it goes a song that I’ve been practicing with my mandolin. I think the lyrics are super nice, even if the subject could be painful for some. And very painful for the people around me when I also attempt to sing along as I play it. It felt very nice when my husband and one of my children said: ” Vast improvement!”. I bet they were happier than me.
Today’s song is, Your Cheatin’ Heart.
Your Cheatin’ Heart
Writers: Warn Defever, Lovetta Pippen & Fred Thomas
Will make you weep
You’ll cry and cry
And try to sleep
But sleep won’t come
The whole night through
Your cheatin’ heart will tell on you…
When tears come down
Like falling rain
You’ll toss around
And call my name
You’ll walk the floor
The way I do
Your cheatin’ heart will tell on you…
Your cheatin’ heart
Will pine some day
And crave the love
You threw away
The time will come
When you’ll be blue
Your cheatin’ heart will tell on you…
When tears come down
Like falling rain
You’ll toss around
And call my name
You’ll walk the floor
The way I do
Your cheatin’ heart will tell on you…

Paola!!! This (and your previous post) was SO nice to see 😀 To me, you shouldn’t put ANY pressure on yourself to post regularly (I know I don’t!). Who needs added stress? lol Do it when you’re moved and time allows, my friend.
And yay for you trying to learn the mandolin 😀 I have to tell you, though, I MUCH prefer Patsy Cline’s version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmKkn2JYfR0 Have you ever seen the movie “Sweet Dreams”? SO good! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090110/

Hi Donna! SO nice to hear from you <3. I hope all is well! How's sweet Charlotte?
Thank you for the links! I heard Patsy Cline's version and after that, a lot of others because I got curious. I really enjoyed Ray Charles version too 🙂
I never heard of the movie "Sweet Dreams" but I'll see if I can watch it here somehow 🙂
Hugs!

That’s one of my favorite songs to play and sing😁 My kids are both taking music lessons now too. Little AoA is playing piano and banjo. 13 year old Brother is playing guitar and drums (no worry about the noise- he never practices- because our drums “don’t sound right”).

You have a little orchestra at home! That’s wonderful!
I’m not really musical but I wanted to learn to play an instrument and I thought the mandolin was a good idea because my fingers are shot but it’s so difficult!
