Our second bash at the 30 Day Song Challenge. Again it’s a joint effort with our son.
Day 8
A song about drugs and alcohol
I had better take this one. Has to be George Thorogoodo – One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer.
Day 9
A song that makes you happy
Certainly a joint decision. Both going for the really funny Jack Black and Kyle Gass becoming Tenacious D and Tribute.
Day 10
A song that makes you sad
This was one of my partners favourite songs. She used to say it was our song every time it came on the radio. Little did I realise the video was so apt for what was going to happen. I still can’t listen to it rather floods of tears.
Day 11
A song you never get tired of.
This one is our son’s choice. Europe – The Final Countdown. He could listen to this on loop all day.
Day 12
A song from your preteen years.
The Goons – Ying Tong Song. I can’t remember when I first heard this song. Maybe it was Dad (sorry Dad if you hated it) but for whatever reason I just remember it as a kid. As a toddler our son love its silliness.
A Dad trying to cope with the loss of his Partner and becoming a single parent. 
What fun brainstorming y’all do together 👐!

Thanks. I might do a blog on some of the songs which didn’t make the final list. Wow some shockers. We now have a deal that Ive got to make them into a playlist then we are going to have a challenge and the loser has to listen to the playlist in full.

😂, I can brag about letting my youngest win but my 9 year old, wins me fair and square half of the time :/. I’m learning how to be a good sport lol.

I have to be a good sport. I dream of winning half the time. But it’s a real question is it best to play hard or let them win.

If I was able to win I think I would be in the let them win camp.

Your blog name leapt out at me for I was a bereaved single parent. My kids are grown up now and have kids of their own so somehow I got through it. My kids tell me I did a good job and I’m proud of all of them. I don’t have any great words of wisdom to offer you except to say that somehow life settles down, the kids grow up and the wheels keep turning. Good luck. It’s one of life ‘s tougher gigs.

Thank you the kind words. It’s a tough gig but it’s still a privilege. It’s reassuring that it settles down eventually.

Two classics in this selection. George Thorogood’s performance is electrifying and The Goons giggle worthy

I thought of George Thorogood two days later. Madness? Is that the same group that did “Our House”?
Europe…l always liked “Carrie”.

LMAO! Tenacious D. I saw them live before I even knew who they were–they came to Madison for a concert with Weezer.

I believe so. The day’s rather a blur–sensory overload, it being my first concert experience. 🙂

Still a good blur. I remember my first concert turned up in jumper as it was winter to find I was the only sheep in the crowd, everyone else was in T-shirt or just less….
