#178 (theme!) 'Cause it makes me that much stronger, thanks for making me a fighter!

2007.11.12

fun challenges every friday night in the fall...

both my 2 babies faced challenges....

raising kids... a challenge... a wonderful challenge....

a current challenge... potty training.... fun stuff!

My challenges...
listen... great workout song!
Well I, thought I knew you
Thinking, that you were true
guess I, I couldn't trust
Called your bluff, time is up
'Cause I've had enough
You were, there by my side
Always, down for the ride
But your, joy ride just came down in flames
'Cause your greed sold me out of shame, mmhmm

After all of the stealing and cheating
You probably think that I hold resentment for you
But, uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do
I wouldn't know how just how capable I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you, cause it...

makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Oh, ohh

Never, saw it coming
All of, your backstabbing
Just so, you could cash in
On a good thing before I realized your game
I heard, you're going around
Playing, the victim now
But don't, even begin
Feeling I'm the one to blame
'Cause you dug your own grave, uh huh

After all of the fights and the lies cause you're wanted to haunt me
but that won't work anymore
Uh, no more, oh no, it's over
'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how to be this way now, and never back down
So I wanna say thank you

[Fighter lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
It makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

How could this man I thought I knew
Turn out to be unjust, so cruel
Could only see the good in you
Pretended not to see the truth
You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself
Through living in denial
But in the end you'll see
You won't stop me

I am a fighter and I
I ain't goin' stop
There is no turning back
I've had enoughhhhhh

makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Thought I would forget
But I, I remember
I'll remember, I'll remember

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter
-Cristina Aguilera "Fighter"

Awesome! I love#3

Marlena · 2007-11-12: 12:37

I think that your family has a good start.

maharba · 2007-11-12: 13:37

fantastic and personal set. it's so great to see how your children pulled through their own challenges when newborns. without the strength of their mum they couldn't have done it. they are fabulous and amazing children, and more precious everyday. jakester's pose in underwear is fantastic!!!! #3 just makes me crack up. they hate getting their photos taken while crying, but refuse to stop - so OH well! hehehe.

MidsummerSilence · 2007-11-12: 14:39

Great, great set. The last one is great. He looks like Captain Underpants. (Which is a great series if you don't have any. My girls loved them).

dweiskir · 2007-11-12: 15:49

Good luck to Jakester! I like that he's so proud of them they are on the outside. #3 is fun (for us probably wasn't for them). :)

vollenda · 2007-11-12: 16:35

A wonderful set and wonderful take on the theme...... I love the way you show the everyday challenges that we all face......

Carley · 2007-11-13: 11:44

i love that potty training shot - its like jake is saying 'don't put that camera in my face right now!' like when a celebrity puts her hand in front of the camera. i also love the crying picture and love the fact that you shoved your camera in their faces when they were crying like that! oh, toots!
