Just another day in Paradise!!

Several years ago there was a great country song called "Just Another Day in Paradise" that I could really relate to!  See lyrics below and if you know me at all, you'll understand why I liked it so well! Well, as you can see by the pictures above, what started out as a lovely day to go haul some hay bales quickly turned disasterous!! A wheel bearing went out on the trailer that we had borrowed to haul the hay bales home from Blackwell. It sparked causing the hay to catch on fire and once you have hay on fire...you got a PROBLEM!! Fortunately, Mike was able to pull over in a wheat field and unhook his pickup from the trailer. The handle was right by a bale that was on fire so it did burn his hand, but could have been much worse. The Deer Creek Volunteer Fire Dept came out and did a great job of getting the hay cooled off enough that Mike was able to unload it off of the trailer so that it did not ruin the trailer. So, yes, we lost 11 bales of hay at $30/bale and have to replace a couple tires on the trailer and pay for an axle and pay for a fire run....BUT...Mike is fine, the truck is fine, the trailer is basically ok and did I mention that MIKE is fine?!!  God seems to send me little reminders like this all the time to remind me that he never promised me that life would be a bed of roses! In fact, it's pretty tough somedays, but I wouldn't trade it for anything! In fact, every night I ask the Lord for "just another day in paradise!!!"

JUST ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE

The kids screaming, phone ringing
Dog barking at the mailman bringing
That stack of bills - overdue
Good morning baby, how are you?
Got a half hour, quick shower
Take a drink of milk but the milk's gone sour
My funny face makes you laugh
Twist the top on and I put it back
There goes the washing machine
Baby, don't kick it.
I promise I'll fix it
Long about a million other things

Well, it's ok. It's so nice
It's just another day in paradise
Well, there's no place that
I'd rather be
Well, it's two hearts
And one dream
I wouldn't trade it for anything
And I ask the Lord every night
For just another day in paradise
Friday, you're late
Guess we'll never make our dinner date
At the restaurant you start to cry
Baby, we'll just improvise
Well, plan B looks like
Dominoes' pizza in the candle light
Then we'll tippy toe to our room
Make a little love that's overdue
But somebody had a bad dream
Mama and daddy
Can me and my teddy
Come in to sleep in between?

Yeah it's ok. It's so nice.
It's just another day in paradise.
Well, there's no place that
I'd rather be
Well, it's two hearts
And one dream
I wouldn't trade it for anything
And I ask the Lord every night
For just another day in paradise
Well, it's ok. It's so nice.
It's just another day in paradise.
Well, there's no place that
I'd rather be
Two hearts
And one dream
I wouldn't trade it for anything
And I ask the Lord every night
For just another day in paradise

For just another day in paradise
Well, it's the kids screaming. The phone ringing
Just another day
Well, it's Friday. You're late
Oh yeah, it's just another day in paradise
