Music Video Challenge Day 4/30

My day 4 video is not really a video but I couldn't find the actually video that wasn't a cover.

Day 4/30 Alibis by Tracy Lawrence


Tracy Lawrence was the very first live concert I ever went to without my parents. I was a junior in high school. Man that seems eons ago now. It led to a good couple of years of concert going, nothing crazy, mostly country, but I loved them all! Memories that I don't think about too often though, for sure.

Anyway, I made it home made fried rice tonight and potstickers. I thought it was great, first time I've ever tried to make it on my own and I used unconventional veggies. The little kids seemed to like it, but Meg hated it. She ended up warming up some left over spaghetti. She hates rice. I just really get tired of trying to make things that everyone likes, because I have a really narrow window of things then. None of the kids are starving and I know that, but sometimes the fight just isn't worth it. I can remember when I had to eat something I hated when I was a kid. The dry heaves sometimes, feeling like I was going to barf right there at the table. Holding my breath til I swallowed and sometimes swallowing without chewing. Hell, I've done that as an adult. And the puking all night after eating something new that didn't agree with you..... Maybe I'm doing the kids a disservice by not forcing them to eat things they don't like, but with all of the issues I have with food, I'm trying everything in my power to not pass that on to the kids. Food is what gives us energy, it's a necessity, but it doesn't have to be anything more than that. It's taken me a long time and it's still a struggle, probably will be all my life, but hopefully my kids will have that one part of life easier than I did.
