*deep sigh*

I was cleaning up the kitchen tonight. The boys were watching Dr. Doolittle, and I was listening to country music from iTunes. I had set it to shuffle songs from the 'Released Country Singles' playlist, and I was not paying much attention to it, really.

A song I love came on. I sang along with the first verse just fine - after all, it was a song I loved. Then a few words of the second verse hit me like another attack:

"Stranger came and pulled a gun, grabbed her by the arm,
Said, 'If you do what I tell you to, there won't be any harm.'"

I dissolved into tears on the spot. I wasn't expecting that. I never would have dreamed that Tim McGraw's song "Don't Take the Girl" would be a song that would inspire a frightening flashback. Still in tears, I grabbed the phone and called Marissa - I knew she'd be more than willing to diss the crap out of both the robber AND Tim McGraw, and I knew she'd be able to say something to help me out of my tears.

She answered in half a ring. And she didn't let me down. *watery smile*
