This song was released on May 29, 2001. My freshman year of college had just completed.

I had just found out that I was pregnant and I had just put in to transfer to EMU from WMU. I was accepted but plans changed when I found out that I was pregnant.

The whole story of my enrollment and U if M – Dearborn is absolutely insane, but I’m too tired to write about it now. Here is this song:

I heard this song on Apple Music:

This is one of the last times that I could belt this song out!!! Sean was with his dad and I was doing laundry. Sean was due home and I had left my front door open of our second apartment because I was busy.

I remember when Sean opened the door with his dad right behind him and I was belting this song out full-force and I wasn’t even embarrassed to be caught! I haven’t thought about that day in a long time… I miss being able to sing… A LOT!!! #ItSucksToSuck #MSsucks!!! 😒😒😒…

I’ve been hearing this song for a while, and I finally found out who sang it and what it’s called. I remember when Demi Lovato starred in Sonny with a Chance on Nickelodeon. I thought her smile was great! She was probably on drugs even back then! I heard a DJ was reviewing a CD that she had just released when I was still teaching at CCA. He said that it is the worst CD ever! I kinda dig some of her songs! I know I’m cheesy!!!

So, a random song came on after I was listening to my music choice and I listened to the whole song. I didn’t want to, and I didn’t think that I would, but when I heard the song after it, I realized that I listened to this entire song. That’s so CHEESY!!! Now, I will tell you what song it was:

This is a tributeto my teaching days and our second apartment. 😂😂😂

I guess I didn’t really mind it because I heard it in my middle school as well:

All of my good times are REALLY past tense now because my current existence is rough! I was listening to Apple Music yesterday and my chosen song ended, and this one showed up and it took me totally back to 2015:

I was still teaching back then and I was in my third classroom which was a converted closet off of the cafeteria. We used the cafeteria as a gym for the PE classes. I was still driving, working, and still using a manual wheelchair and I was going to Barwis Methods three times a week at that point.

I heard this song so much working in a middle school just as this movie was about to come out! Mr. Curl played music on Fridays during dodgeball and this song was on so much for the entire day. I also heard this song at Barwis as well! I was still working with Adam back then. It’s fall and it’s after daylight savings time because I would drive home from Barwis and it would be dark as I heard this song.

The Fifty Shades books were hyped way before the movie came out. I’m pretty sure that a bunch of teachers read the books at the same time. That sounds familiar to me. I had the three book set when Sean was playing football. I actually talked with another football mom, Jen, her son was friends with Sean.

I offered the books to her and suggested that she read them by herself. Don’t read them in public. she laughed and I brought the books to her at the next football game.

I brought them to her in a paper bag, similar to Gary in Parenthood. You know, the part where he has his dirty movies in it. Well, I had dirty books!!! She laughed when I gave her the bag and I have never gotten my books back, but that’s okay.

I fell to sleep thinking of this song and all of the memories from that time in 2015. Things were so different back then! I NEVER expected them to be how they are now!

it’s been three weeks since my procedure and the recovery time it’s supposed to be 24 hours and in some cases it’s a couple days. Or how about, let’s try having MS for 24 years. so that changes the timeline! It’s NOT even three weeks! Today is three weeks and I’m not okay!

Whenever my Mom and I reference three weeks, we think of Fiddler on the Roof and specifically this scene:

I grew up watching Fiddler on the Roof at my aunt Linda‘s house. We watched all the time (my cousins and my brothers Jimmy and Dave) and we sang along with the music and we danced. singing and dancing was probably mostly just me and my cousinTs Dawn and Shannon) It wasn’t until I was in my house when I saw it was on so I just decided to watch it because I haven’t seen it in so many years.

BIG MISTAKE!!!

Seeing this movie for the first time as an adult, I cried my eyes out!!! I cried my eyes out because I understood the content of what was going on. As a child, I was just singing and dancing. But then I saw it as an adult.

I do I have to tell you that those songs hold a special place in my heart because of my childhood fun!!!
