Mom and Dad Love Story

Dedicated to my amazing parents, Scott and Laura...
(to the tune of Love Story by Taylor Swift)

We were both old when I first saw you
I saw your pic. on ldsplanet
you were Scott,
and I thought you were really hot.

you had eight kids you were single and lonely
I had five I was working two jobs
and never home.
This is what I know,

That you were forty-one I was thirty-six
And I was positive that we had really clicked
we were talking on the phone
And I never wanted to go!
And I said

Scott Willis, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all we gotta do is go
to the temple and be sealed, yes,
its a love story
Baby, just say yes

Your name was Laura Lee and you lived in Florida
you said you were looking for Mr.Right
and I replied
"Mr.Right has more than one tyke"
Oh oh

Cause you were really grand I wished to get to know you,
And I was positive that we had really clicked
we were talking on the phone
and I never wanted to go!

And I said

Laura, I will take you somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all we gotta do is go
to the temple and be sealed, yes,
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes

Scott Willis tell me,
would it be ok to go,
to go and visit you and your kids
Don't be afraid, we'll bring our own car, yes,
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes!

Oh oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering when Labor Day was coming around,
the calendar was aging....
When I drove right into your town
And I said

Scott Willis, take me
I never want to be alone,
He said he'd been waiting all I had to do was come,
I had butterflies
didn't know what to say
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said

Marry me, Laura Lee, you'll never have to be alone
I love you and your kids already so,
lets drive to St.Louis
my mom made you a dress,
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

'Cause we were both old when I first saw you

.............And it Made Me MAD!!!

I was in a terribly, shamefully, bad mood yesterday and I found myself trying to pinpoint what had made me so angry. So I compiled a list of the things that made me mad yesterday. This list is long and very very very inexcusable, but I am able to find humor in my anger now that I am cooled off.

1.It all started when one of my teachers turned the heat off in the classroom.......
2.After that another teacher commented on a problem that i had missed on my science work,
3.then a girl in the classroom wouldn't stop talking,
4.then my scarf was too tight,
5.then I had to grade my stupid math book,
6.then the internet was WAY too slow,
7.then the internet was STILL WAY too slow,
8.then I was ready to beat the computer with a bat because of the slow internet,
9.then a Vietnamese boy came in the class in wasn't able to speak in full english sentences, and for some reason, it made me mad!
10.then someone decided to start with these "laughy taffy" type jokes, which he found very amusing,
11. then a woman kept bumping into my seat even when I scooted in!
PAUSE
then there was a woman who walked in with a New Zealand accent and it made me happy.
12. then the laughy taffy jokes continued,
13. then dad came in before i was finished harvesting my crops on farmville,
14.then my dumb chip bad wouldn't open,
15. then i had to unpick lots of stupid thread from a stupid piece of fabric THREE TIMES!!
16. then Judge Judy was really getting on my nerves,
17.then I changed the channel and it was just news...nothing else seemed to be on!
18. then I was in the car with all of the hyper little kids,
19. then my seat belt was too tight because Haylee had her feet on it in the back.
20. then mom told me I had to wait to shower until after FHE,
21. then my sister was made so it made me even more mad.
Then the movie helped me calm down, and I was pretty much fine the rest of the day.
The chat with mom and dad before I went to bed helped too. :)

Like I said, this list is way to long for any justifiable reasoning, but at least I can recognize when I had no reason to be mad....even if it was after the fact.
