Heartache Tonight

Today was the toughest day I've had in a while. My kids pointed out that I always get stressed when packing to leave for trips, as we did today. They are not wrong.

I'm not sure why I find it so stressful, but I do. And this time, the stress made me lose sight of a lot of what makes me feel good, like healthy eating. That went right out the window today, as we hit the road to head up north to the cabin to spend time with family.

En route, we heard this song, which felt apropos of how I was feeling - a sense of dread of inevitable hurt feelings coming my way:

Somebody's gonna hurt someone
before the night is through
Somebody's gonna come undone.
There's nothin' we can do.
Everybody wants to touch somebody
if it takes all night.
Everybody wants to take a little chance,
Make it come out right.

There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
a heartache tonight, I know.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight, I know.
Lord, I know.

Some people like to stay out late
Some folks can't hold out that long
But nobody wants to go home now.
there's too much goin' on.

This night is gonna last forever.
Last all, last all summer long.
Some time before the sun comes up
The radio is gonna play that song.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight, I know.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight, I know.
Lord I know.

There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
the moon's shinin' bright
so turn out the light, and we'll get it right.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight, a
heartache tonight I know...
