Song for Sunday: Alright already

Last night was like a cruel joke. Little Sister woke up coughing & snotting as her canine teeth (that have been bulging for 9 months or more) decided it was finally time to poke through her poor little gums. Big Sister (after fairy-flying at warp speed all day long) had a charley horse in her calf muscle that kept her up half the night. That meant we were up too, even though Hubs didn't come to bed until 2:30. Or was it 3:30? Dumb Daylight Savings Time.

I've been thinking about this song for a while, even if last night wasn't a super example of a time when things just have to get better. A year's worth of hormone problems from my Mirena IUD (google "mirena side effects"- that junk is crazy) had left me frustrated, angry and depressed, tired and unmotivated almost all of the time, along with some physical side effects too. Just about a month ago, I finally called my midwife to have the beast removed.

I was hoping to immediately feel better, but when you're dealing with hormones medicine toxins in your system, it can take a while to recover. I do have more patience, and a little more energy, but I've been disappointed that I didn't feel like my old self overnight. A part of me is screaming, "Alright Already!" but I also have to remind myself that good things have to be around the corner. Because I have a God who knows and loves me and has plans for me and my wonderful family. And because, sooner or later, we'll all float on.

Float On
by Modest Mouse

I backed my car into a cop car, the other day.
Well he just drove off, sometimes life's ok.
I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh what did I say.
Well you just laughed it off, it was all ok.

And we'll all float on, ok.
And we'll all float on, ok.
And we'll all float on, ok.
And we'll all float on any way, well.

A fake Jamaican took every last dime with a scam.
It was worth it just to learn some sleight-of-hand.
Bad news comes don't you worry even when it lands.
Good news will work its way to all them plans.
We both got fired on exactly the same day.
Well we'll float on good news is on the way.

And we'll all float on, ok.
And we'll all float on, ok.
And we'll all float on, ok.
And we'll all float on, alright.
Already we'll all float on.
No, don't you worry, we'll all float on.
Alright, already, we'll all float on.
Alright, don't worry, we'll all float on.

Alright already we'll all float on.
Alright already we'll all float on.
Alright don't worry even if things end up a bit too heavy.
We'll all float on...alright. Already we'll all float on.
Alright already we'll all float on, ok.
Don't worry we'll all float on.
Even if things get heavy, we'll all float on.

Alright already we'll all float on.
(Alright)
Don't you worry we'll all float on.
(Alright)

All float on....
