Pandemic Playlist

I was brought up on country music; all the old-time songs are my favorite to sing with my family, and since all we are doing is being around each other, why not those songs. I listen to different genres sometimes, but its nothing I can really get into and continuously listen to. My playlist is, for sure, going to be basically all country.  It's a great day to be alive by Travis Tritt just really makes you happy, and why not sing about being alive even when hard times are going on. I've been Watching you by Rodney Atkins; is a song that my sisters and I have loved singing together, and me being the youngest, I can change it to myself looking up to them. Ol' red by Blake Shelton Is also just a family favorite that all of us know by heart. It ain't my fault by Brothers Osborne, the song is great, but the video is even better, especially right now because it has the presidents in it, and it's just really funny so why not lighten the mood with it.  I hope by Gabby Barrette Is a PERFORMANCE. It doesn't matter if you are in a good relationship at the time or not when this comes on, everything stops, and you go all out, and it's amazing. Get Along by Kenny Chesney is definitely a song that the world always needs because there is never a reason to constantly be fighting, so when you stuck in your house with just your family, get along. One Big Country Song by LOCASH also just resembles getting along were all alike in some way. Good Vibes by Chris Janson, the opening lyrics say how I currently feel right now this far into the pandemic. If you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all is the basic point. Just keep it all to yourself and let me be happy. All I want to do by Sugarlandalso shows how I feel, because all I want to do lately is nothing productive and just lay in bed. Whistle Stop by Roger Miller is the introduction song to the Disney animation robin hood; I love Disney movies so much, and whenever this comes on, I light up, and me and my sister start doing stupid dances to the beat. It just makes for a great time, and that's all I want.

A Little White Lie

Everyone lies, no one is perfect and does everything right. But most of the time, they are just little lies to protect you or someone else. All parents do this to protect their family or to just make your kids listen. My parents technically didnt lie to me; they just didnt tell me at all to keep me out of the bad situation, they told me what I needed to know, and that was it. A couple years back, the business my dad had worked at since he was 18 went out of operation, and my dad had no idea what to do next.  My parents had not told my sisters or me yet, but I overheard someone talk to my mom about what had happened, so I was the first of us to know. After I brought this up to my mom, she sat us all down at home and told us the business what closing and another was stepping in. My dad refused to work for them, so he was going to work all of the last things the job needed him to do; then, he was going to find something new. After this happened, we knew we weren't going to be able to be spending a lot of money on unnecessary things and just had to start saving a lot more. My parents never wanted to make us feel like we didnt have enough money or couldn't do things because we are constantly in sports and that costs a lot. We went through phases that my sisters and I could tell were really hard, and we truly didn't know what to do, but my dad got a job as a truck driver. He was gone a lot, but we needed the money that it was worth it. Once my senior year came around, I was helping pay my sports fees, and my dad stopped truck driving to do farming with a buddy that would pay him what we needed. Through this whole time, I always knew we weren't in an amazing money position, but we were still stable because of my mom's job, and the only thing I was ever asked to do is if I wanted to paly two travel sports I had to help pay. Little did I know when through this time my parents were so worried we almost had to sell our house. If my parents wouldn't have "leid " to me, I do not know how I would have responded to this event.
