Ms. Nina Simone

This song is one of my favorites by Nina Simone. The power in her voice was intense.


LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME

Love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You won't believe me but I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else
You might find the night time the right time for kissing
Night time is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else

There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue
I want your love don't wanna borrow
Have it today to give back tomorrow
Your love is my love there's no love for nobody else

Say love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You won't believe me but I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else
You might find the night time the right time for kissing
Night time is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else

There'll be noone unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue
Say I want your love don't wanna borrow
Have it today to give back tomorrow
Your love is my love my love is your love
There's no love for nobody else

1st Day of School

Little Girl isn't so little any more. She is in the fifth grade. She has been anxious to find out who her teacher is going to be. We found out it is Mrs. R. Mrs. R is fantastic. She had both of Little Girl's brother's in previous years - many moons ago as Oldest Boy is almost 18 and is going into the National Guard and the Middle Boy is a Junior this year. Mrs. R has seen LG grow up. But then there was Mr. S. Mr. S was OB's second grade teacher in another district AND Mr. S and I went to the same defunct high school together. So we have history with both teachers.

I guess I will see how the first day went later. I am happy because I can now get these troublemakers I call kids into bed at a half way decent hour.... or at least try.
