Just Another Day in Paradise

Dear John,

I was so excited for our big plans this weekend. Valentine's Day! Big date! Just you and me!
Yeah, then Brendan got sick and threw up in my ear. The pink tulips you bought made me forget all about that. You are so sweet. Now I'm sick too, sipping Nyquil instead of red wine. I think Megan has a case of the nose dribbles as well. I guess the money we set aside to finally have a date will be spent on doctor co-pays and Childen's Tylenol.

This all reminds me of that song by Phil Vasser. You know the song, right? Here it is. Totally reminds me of "us" lately.





The kids screaming, phone ringing
Dog barking at the mailman bringing
That stack of bills - overdue
Good morning baby, how are you?
Got a half hour, quick shower
Take a drink of milk but the milk's gone sour
My funny face makes you laugh
Twist the top on and I put it back
There goes the washing machine
Baby, don't kick it. I promise I'll fix it
Long about a million other things
Well, it's ok. It's so nice
It's just another day in paradise
Well, there's no place thatI'd rather be
Well, it's two heartsAnd one dream
I wouldn't trade it for anything
And I ask the Lord every night
For just another day in paradise
Friday, you're late
Guess we'll never make our dinner date
At the restaurant you start to cry
Baby, we'll just improvise
Well, plan B looks likeDominoes' pizza in the candle light
Then we'll tippy toe to our room
Make a little love that's overdue
But somebody had a bad dream
Mama and daddy
Can me and my teddy
Come in to sleep in between?
Yeah it's ok. It's so nice.
It's just another day in paradise.
Well, there's no place that
I'd rather be
Well, it's two hearts
And one dream
I wouldn't trade it for anything
And I ask the Lord every night
For just another day in paradise
Well, it's ok. It's so nice.
It's just another day in paradise.
Well, there's no place that
I'd rather be
Two hearts
And one dream
I wouldn't trade it for anything
And I ask the Lord every night
For just another day in paradise
For just another day in paradise
Well, it's the kids screaming.
The phone ringing
Just another day
Well, it's Friday.
You're late
Oh yeah, it's just another day in paradise

Happy Valentine's Day! I love you! Gotta go . . . I think I hear a kid screaming, the phone ringing, the dog barking at the mailman bringing that stack of bills . . .

Love,
Lisa
