Day 2: What's it mean?

Well hello again my friends! Thanks for coming back. I am having WAY to much fun with this blog! I have been so excited for this day of the challenge because I just love my blog name and the reason behind it. Now I get to share it with you!

Day 2: Meaning behind your blog name

Ok, so for all you country music fans, you probably already know where this came from. It's a Kenny Chesney song called (yep, you got it) "The Woman With You". Here are the lyrics (I cut out a chorus or 2):

She hit the door 6:55 sack full of groceries split down the side.
Can goods scattered all the way to the curb.
Look on her face saying don't say a word.
So, it's me and her and a can of beans sitting there on the front porch swing.
Western sky all turning red.
Head on my shoulder she sighed and said:

Been gopherin, chauffeuring, company chairman.
Coffee maker, Copy repairman.
Anymore there ain't nothing I swear man that I don't do.
Been juggling, struggling, closing big deals.
Dancing backwards in high heels.
Just when it feels like i can't make it through.
She said it sure is nice to just be the woman with you

She said the girl I was with the business degree probally wouldn't recognize me.
I was gonna run the bank.
I was gonna run the math.
Now all I want to run is a bubble bath.
Back then you know I had this plan.
Before all of this reality set in.
Here comes life boy ready or not.
Hey I wanted it all and that's what I got.

Cause I'm gopherin, chauffeuring, company chairman.
Coffee maker, Copy repairman.
Anymore there ain't nothing I swear man that
I don't do.
Been juggling, struggling, closing big deals.
Dancing backwards in high heels.
Just when it feels like I can't make it through.
She said it sure is nice to just be the woman with you.


I've always loved this song just because I love Kenny. Lately though, this song has taken on new meaning to me. When I heard it the other day, I thought, "Yep, that's me!". Then I thought, "Yep, that's my blog name!". :)

I have a lot going on in my life, a LOT. I have a full-time job on top of running my event planning business. I am part of 2 Bible groups. I have a husband and a son. I am a daughter, sister and aunt. I am the housecleaner, the grocery shopper, the clothes-buyer, the dishwasher, the cook, the bill-payer, the nurse. I'm a couponing princess (not quite to the queen-level yet). :)

But you know what, at the end of the day, I am Meredith. When I crawl in the bed exhausted and worn out, I am Jeffrey's wife, his "woman" (oh he'd love to hear me say that!). I can lay my head on his shoulder and know that all is well with the world. I have the love of my life beside me, and the most amazing little boy sleeping in his crib.

And that, my friends, sure is nice! :)
