So the other day I had one of those 'how the hell did I get here' moments. I was driving Erin to Grandma Bobbie's and she had a brand new Disney Princesses book from Costco (thanks Grandjo and PopPop!) It was one of those with the push buttons that play songs. On the radio came one of my favorite all-time songs 'When the Levee Breaks' by Led Zeppelin. Which would have been great, except the background noise of her Disney Princess book was playing 'Lavender's Blue Dilly Dilly....' and she was singing along with it. (Don't get me started on why that song was in a Disney Princess book -- it is neither Disney nor Princess related -- my bet is that is not under copyright so they saved on the royalty fee they would have had to pay had they used "Kiss the Girl" my favorite Disney Princess song). Suddenly I realized that I wasn't in Kansas anymore.....Zeppelin vs. Disney Princesses. That is what my life has become. But honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. And tomorrow, I'm moving all my Zeppelin CDs to the car. You can't start too early on these things, you know.......
