Discussion: Gimme a Break!
November 8, 2008
I love my job. I love going to school. I love teaching religious education. But this was one of those weeks where the teaching, the classes, and the supplementary professional development workshops became a little overwhelming. Earlier today, one of my graduate classes ended. I loved the class, but it’s nice to have my Saturdays back. I need a break!
Thankfully, my amazing writing staff has made my absence unnoticeable, but as I make my return, I’m thinking tonight about songs that capture that “I need a break” feeling. Here are some of my favorites:
Keith Urban, “Raining on Sunday”

John Conlee is always good.

And just because it’s my site and I can indulge in my favorite non-country artist:

This whole post cracks me up. You and your Madonna love.
Anyway, I’ve recently become quite fond of Eric Church’s “Livin’ Part of Life.”
This doesn’t fit the theme to a T, but Wanda Jackson’s “Let’s Have a Party” certainly makes me want to take a break, so I mean…that kinda works.
And of course, nobody expresses job-related exhaustion quite like Toby Keith.
“Honey, I’m Home” by Shania is oneof my favorites.
John Conlee sitting alongside Madonna. Whodda thunkit?
Rosanne Cash & John Haitt – One Step Over The Line
Bomshel – Ain’t My Day To Care
When I hear this song I always think of relaxing
I love that Eric Church song too!
Tift Merritt–”Sunday” (from her 2002 debut album Bramble Rose).
Because, as she sings, “Sunday is nobody’s business.”
