Feelin’ 42

Today is my 42nd birthday. I wrote a little song about it that could potentially be mistaken as one belonging to Taylor Swift because we are both musical geniuses that way…wanna hear it? Hear it goes!

FEELIN’ 42

It feels like a perfect night to put on yoga pants

and watch some Netflix ah ah ah ah

It feels like the perfect night for dishes left in the sink

to just do nothing, ah ah ah ah

Yeah!

We’re middle-aged, content, and restless all at the same time

It’s hormonal and blissful, oh yeah

Tonight’s the night we forget about waistlines

It’s time

Uh Oh!

Don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 42

Everything will be alright, if I run to Target with you,

You know plenty about me, but there’s much more to see

Everything will be alright

If we keep groovin’ like we are 42…42

It seems like one of those nights it’s time to act up a bit

My teens aren’t the only cool kids ah ah ah ah

It seems like one of those nights we show the 80’s

were really the good ‘ole days

And robot in front of their friends… ah ah ah ah

Yeah!

Don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 42

Everything will be alright, if I run to Target with you,

You know plenty about me, but there’s much more to see

Everything will be alright

If we keep movin’ like we are 42…42

We’re middle-aged, content, and restless in the best way

It’s hormonal and blissful Oh Yeah

Tonight’s the night we forget about pride…it’s time

It feels like one of those nights

we act up a bit

It feels like one of those nights

We are the cool kids

It feels like one of those nights

that are age-inappropriate

But once a year will do..

When you’re 42….42

Hi... I'm Lisa and as the tagline says, also a preacher's wife. I began this website in 2007 just prior to the Facebook revolution when mom blogs were a relatively conflict-free zone for sharing recipes and stories about our latest parenting fails. Fast-forward a few years... Luke and I continue to serve the same family of believers in North Alabama where we've called home for over 16 years. The boys are grown and gone, we have an incredible daughter-in-law and the baby McKay is living her best life as an only child while working and going to college. I am a full-time corporate employee and still love to write and teach Scripture. The last two years haven't been kind to public events but it's been during these trying times that the Lord has revealed the importance of the local church reclaiming discipleship using the gifts of those within the body. The time feels right to refresh the blog as a platform for sharing how God has worked through this process and perhaps encourage other churches to follow. And who knows, there may even be a recipe or more parenting fails. Those don't stop when your kids become adults. Thank you for visiting.. I look forward to connecting!
