a composer

I have recently discovered I am a budding composer. Mostly of little catchy ditties that amuse me and make Anna cry. Sometimes they make her stop crying for a moment while she considers the absurdities of this person who claims to be her father but she dearly hopes is only the pool cleaning guy. I shall regal you…

To the tune of I’ve been working on the railroad.

I’ve been working on a diaper
All the live long day
I’ve been working on a diaper
Just to pass the gas away
Can’t you see the mustard growing
Rise up so early in the morn
Can’t you hear the baby shouting
Daddy change my diaper!

to the tune of oh my darlin

Oh my darlin, oh my darlin, oh my darlin, Annabelle
You are noisy and you’re stinky
Oh my darlin, Annabelle

What more can I say?

    I understand…mostly because I am sure I will demand other people’s understanding when my time comes…so to have friends you have to be a friend. I am a friend. 🙂
    I meant that he was enjoying my shirt. i bought 3 shirts and he let me keep 2 of them so i said that he was enjoying the shirt he let me keep as much as i was. It wasn’t pulled up over my belly!!!! 😀 giggle. Lana is having a cow because jake said he’d take her for a run but decided not to take her at the last minute. poor pups. she’s being really annoying. little ms. whiner.
    some friends of ours (a guy jake goes to school with and his wife) gave us some of their baby stuff they are done with so that was totally cool. We got a baby carrier and a bunch of small bottles and 2 training books. well, a what to expect the first year and some kind of training book. we’ll see. but the other stuff is cool. they were going to give us all their girl stuff cause they just had a girl but since they heard we’re having a boy they decided not to. I tried telling them that we’d still take it incase we have a girl next or sometime in the future, but i guess they don’t care. 🙁 pouty emily.
    so that’s my comment…should have just made it a post i guess. oh well.
