The Devil, Daniel Webster ,and Charlie Daniels

Well, we had a busy, fun weekend. I did absolutely NOTHING at all scrappy for NSD. (for Lidbom, that means National Scrapbooking Day. Don't worry, next year Lorena, Jen and myself will force you to celebrate it. Are you starting to fear your decision about work yet???)

Lincoln had his first soccer game on Saturday and he did great. He broke his arm after 2 games last year, so he really is new to it. I had literally just said to another mom, "I really don't know if Lincoln gets what he is doing yet, " when he pummeled the ball into the net for a goal! I may have to insult him more often... He actually scored twice, and he was sooooo proud!
Now, onto my title there...
Here is how it all went down...
The boys and I are on our way to church. (micah has gone on early) SO, we are in Micah's car, and I look down and see the word "Disc" on the CD player, so I think he has some mixed disc of music in. He is the music lover around here, I just listen when he plays it. So, I hear this great little song playing. Now, I should also say here, we are sooooooo careful about what we listen to because we have two little boys who take it all in. Plus, I once caught myself singing "I Like Big Butts" and was truly disturbed when I actually thought about what I was saying. I don't like big butts... well, okay, I don't like MY big butt.
Anyway, I digress. We are careful about what we play. But this song is familiar, and I know some of the words and turn it up, and it goes into this instrumental section. I thought it was some song by Carmen. He is a christian rock and roller... so I knew it would be fine for the boys to hear. I turn the music Waaaayy up... we are jamming now. Lincoln has his little air guitar out and is just a playing. Emerson is bobbing his head and bouncing up and down. Then the lyrics come back and as I sing some of the words, I slowly realize... this is not Carmen. And when I hear the Charlie Daniels Band say "Devil you son of a gun" I began to realize this was not in fact a song I necessarily want the boys to hear plus... I felt a little bad because hello??? We are on our way to church... So I quickly found some nice worship song for the duration of our trip to church. I know it isn't a "bad" song... I mean the devil does lose, but it is hardly church prep music either...
Tannis had asked me for some music I like... well Tannis, now you know why I should clearly NOT be in charge of music selections of any kind.
The best part... I was telling a friend about this whole tainted car ride to church, and called the song "The Devil and Daniel Webster". As in, the short story we all read in high school. Yeah, I am sure they will set that to music real soon. I bet more kids would read it if they did...
So, in closing...
I like the song "The Devil Went down to Georgia".
I like Carmen.
The two are not the same.
"The Devil and Daniel Webster" should not be required reading. And...
I, in my current state of knockedupedness cannot be expected to get any song title, artist, or even genre correct.

Fire on the mountain, run boys run...
