Pink Zebras

"I wish the real world would just stop hassling me"- Matchbox 20

I heard that song on the radio the other day for the first time in a long time and couldn't help but identify with it a little bit.  With all the challenges of this week it just seems like Steph and I couldn't catch a break.  Before I complain I must stop and say I am very, very thankful for all the wonderful things that happened.  They were able to stop Stephanie's labor, I still have a wonderful baby boy cooking safely in his mommy's belly, and so many people have shown us so much love and support this week.  That being said, it seems like one of those weeks just to keep our head above the water.  I couldn't help but think about the video for the aforementioned song.   Anybody remember it?  It had everything- pink zebras, a camel walking through a bowling alley, anything you could ever ask for.  The other lines of the song hit home too

"I wonder what it's like to be the head honcho
I wonder what I'd do if they all did just what I said
I'd shout out an order, I think we're out of this man get
me some
Boy don't make me wanna change my...tone, my tone

I wonder what it's like to be a super hero
I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around downtown
From some other planet, I get this funky high on yellow
Sun
Boy I bet my friends will all be...stunned, they're stunned"

Well, I'm no superhero, and definitely not the head honcho, but when all is said and done, I wouldn't change with anyone.  So, I guess I can end this post with the end of the song:

"Please don't change, please don't break
The only thing that seems to work at all is you
Please don't change, at all from me
To you, and you to me"

P.S. If you have no clue what I'm talking about or just want to join me in my memories of the 90's you can find the video here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwJazZIWNgg
