#357 I've Got A Good Mother, her voice is what keeps me here...

girls = photogenic... boys = not photogenic....

eek, to see my arm this close?!?! handmade bracelet for mothers day!

Went to a Mothers Day Brunch at Jake's school today. I thought it would be silly but it was so great. I got some nice suprises and got to make a bracelet!! I actually teared up at a little poem they made with jake's hand and footprint on it... I am such a sap! Never thought I would be!
listen.
I've got money in my pocket,
I like the color of my hair.
I've got a friend who loves me,
Got a house, I've got a car.
I've got a good mother,
and her voice is what keeps me here.


Feet on ground,
Heart in hand,
Facing forward,
Be yourself.
I've never wanted anything.
No I've, no I've, I've never wanted anything,
so bad..(so bad).

Cardboard masks of all the people I've been
Thrown out, with all the rusted, tangled
dented God Damned miseries!!
You could say I'm hard to hold,
But if you knew me you'd know,
I've got a good father,
And his strength is what makes me cry.

Feet on ground,
Heart in hand,
Facing forward,
Be yourself.
I've never wanted anything,
No I've, no I've, I've never
wanted anything so bad..(so bad).

I've got money in my pockets,
I like the color of my hair.
I've got a friend who loves me,
Got a house, I've got a car.
I've got a good mother,
and her voice is what keeps me here.

Feet on ground,
Heart in hand,
Facing forward,
Be yourself.

Heart in hand,
Feet on ground,
Facing forward,
Be yourself.
just be yourself.
just be yourself.

Feet on ground,
Heart in hand,
Feet on ground,
Heart in hand....

Queen911 Visiting school for your young child is so precious, but also the little gifts that make.
I would tear up also.
