This weeks song pick started off from going to see the movie BRIDESMAIDS last weekend. It was heard through out the end of the movie & the cast lip synced it at the end. It made me laugh so HARD in that scene that I knew it could be the Song of the Week for me.
Then a couple days later I had a phone conversation with a friend who had hit the "deployment wall" & was having a hard day. We discussed all her options & what I had experienced in past deployments. Once again this song sprang into my head & I was about 80% sure it would be my pick.
Then yesterday at dinner time I was thrown into a pre-deployment tail spin. To some it won't seem like a big deal to other Type A personalities they will totally get it! We where all sitting around the dinner table & my soldier casually asked if I was coming to the Pre-Deployment ceremony/Family day next Thursday? I answer I had planned on coming but on my calender it's marked for June such & such day, so you must be wrong. I had emailed it out weeks ago to my families so he must have the wrong date - right? WRONG!!!! They had changed everything & just told our FRG the day before. I had to run & email my FRG leader who confirmed it & apologized for not sending out an email right away. I FREAKED OUT in my head!! I have the next couple of weeks mapped out in my head and on my calender . I did NOT have time for date changes & shuffles to my schedule. Luckily I woke up this morning with a detailed email from our FRG that I pushed out to our families about ALL the changes. I am glad we got it out this week so hopefully our families can adjust their calenders as well.
In short what this means as I explained to a couple of good friends last night is I have hit that pre-deployment insanity phase. Where no dates stay the same, time is short, & I have to much packed into to little of a time frame. Of course it's all activities for the most part that I want my soldier there with us to participate. Thus the reason I have packed them all into the next few weeks. I already warned those two friends that I am losing it & one made me chuckle with her Don't worry attitude- we are use to your nuttyness (not sure that's even a word?). So consider this my warning to all my Blog Followers- this Blog could be neglected & not as many post in the next few weeks or my insane bi-polar self could be posting frantic, sad, angry, Blogs as we fast approach deployment number four,
With that being said here is my song choice of the week- first go see the movie BRIDESMAIDS if you haven't so the song also makes you laugh. Second I hope I realize I can tie a knot in the end of my rope & HOLD ON it'll be Ok!!

I really, really want to see that movie! My sister went and saw it last week and she loved it! Movies are really expensive around here, so my husband and I hate to splurge unless we are just dying to see something. I'll probably have to wait until it comes out on Netflix. I'm glad the movie put a smile on your face, despite what you are going through. Hang in there, girl!
I'm totally jealous that you got to see the movie! I soooo want to see it! It looks awesome!I too love this song. I use to have it on cassette tape and would listen to it and sing every song on the tape as I had to wash the dinners ALL by hand, after we were done eating dinner, as a kid.
I'm so sorry about all the date changes. As we all know, it's all part of the roller coaster of deployments!
Sending hugs! All will be good!
I want to see Bridesmaids, but I really can't drag the hubby to see it. :( boo. Then again I saw Thor for him last weekend. Maybe I can plea a case for him to take me now! Lol.
Great song choice. :)
Nicole I went with my girlfriends- but there where a ton of guys there. the cast is mostly SNL- so the guys thought it was just as funny as us girls!
I about wet my pants when Heen announced them and they walked out! Kristin and Maya were SOOOO funny during that closing scene- because we all know we do the dance moves too! What a great song.
Such a good song! I have not heard it in forever.
