I haven't posted in a while because I have been overwhelmed by end of the year tasks. Just when I think that I'm almost done another rock lands in my backpack. As I was walking to work a few days ago feeling overloaded and not up to the challenge, a song from my childhood came into my mind (that seems to happen a lot recently). It is from a book entitled "Power Tunes" from which we sang at homeschool nearly every day. The lyrics to this particularly peppy song are great so I thought I'd share a verse here!!
1st verse:
My name is Baldy Eagle
I'm here to tell a story
About a man George Washington
The father of our country.
He believe in being honest
With his family friends and neighbors,
Overcoming challenges,
Accomplishing his labors.
Chorus:
It's your attitude, attitude
That makes you do the things you do.
Attitude, attitude
That makes you what you are.
You've gotta be kind,
You've gotta wanna share
You've gotta be a friend
You've gotta wanna care!
It's your attitude that makes you!
There is a lot of truth packed in this little song. If I change my attitude towards the tasks ahead, I can overcome my challenges and accomplish my labors!

Since fewing your blog a couple days ago, I've now had this song running through my head today. It's great, I feel the energy that makes me smile at my computer screen. Yessss. See ya soon. Wahoo!!!
Would you believe I listened to power tunes too? We still have the whole set at my house.
YES, JARED!!! That's aaawwwesssssooomme!!
"Work like a beaver, be an achiever!!"
I've been searching for this music from my childhood but have still not found where to get a copy of it now. Do you know more details about it and where I could look to get it?
You can find this series on CD at Desertbook.com. I listened to it as a kid and now have it running in my car a LOT. The kids love it even at age 12. Also great to use when the kids start to argue. Stops them dead in their tracks, because they can't help but sing along with it.
