    bake it off

    So yesterday wasn't wonderful.

    Our farm website was hacked, my back is playing up and the Big Sister's butterfly project wasn't coming out as hoped. Then I asked myself, if Taylor Swift were a thirty-six year old mother of two, with a crook back, a hacked website and a Lepidoptera assignment due, what would she do?

    Hackers broke my site, can’t think of what to write
    It's been quite a day mmm, it's been quite a day mm
    School uniform is stained, kids are driving me insane
    It's been quite a day mmm, it's been quite a day mm

    But I keep steaming, can't stop, won't stop creaming,
    It's like I got a entree in my mind and it's gonna be alright

    'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
    And the graters gonna grate, grate, grate, grate, grate
    Baby, I'm just gonna bake, bake, bake, bake, bake
    I bake it off, I bake it off
    Site hackers gonna break, break, break, break, break
    And my back is gonna ache, ache, ache, ache, ache
    Baby, I'm just gonna bake, bake, bake, bake, bake
    I bake it off, I bake it off

    I'll never miss a beat, I'm baking up a treat
    And that's what they don't see mmm, that's what they don't see mmm
    I'm cooking on my own (cooking on my own), I make my meals up on the go (meals up on the go)
    And that's what they don't know mmm, that's what they don't know mmm

    But I keep steaming, can't stop, won't stop creaming,
    It's like I got a entree in my mind and it's gonna be alright

    'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
    And the graters gonna grate, grate, grate, grate, grate
    Baby, I'm just gonna bake, bake, bake, bake, bake
    I bake it off, I bake it off
    Site hackers gonna break, break, break, break, break
    And my back is gonna ache, ache, ache, ache, ache
    Baby, I'm just gonna bake, bake, bake, bake, bake
    I bake it off, I bake it off
    I, I bake it off, I bake it off
    I, I bake it off, I bake it off
    I, I bake it off, I bake it off
    I, I bake it off, I bake it off

    Hey, hey, hey, just think while you've been getting down and out about the messes and dirty, dirty feet in the world you could have been getting down to this sick beat
    My kids toys covering the floor
    They're like "oh my God", but I'm just gonna bake
    And to child over there whose removed her underwear
    Won't you come on over, baby, we can bake, bake, bake

    'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
    And the graters gonna grate, grate, grate, grate, grate
    Baby, I'm just gonna bake, bake, bake, bake, bake
    I bake it off, I bake it off
    Site hackers gonna break, break, break, break, break
    And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
    Baby, I'm just gonna bake, bake, bake, bake, bake
    I bake it off, I bake it off
    I, I bake it off, I bake it off
    I, I bake it off, I bake it off
    I, I bake it off, I bake it off
    I, I bake it off, I bake it off
    I bake it off, I bake it off
    I, I bake it off, I bake it off
    I, I bake it off, I bake it off
    I, I bake it off, I bake it off

    Phew, I feel better already, how about you?

    What do you do when things go wrong? Rewrite songs? Bake? Cry?

    how are things at your place?

    are your kids wearing knickers?

      Hope you feel better soon, that the butterfly project got it's wings and that the website is up and running. When I feel stressed I bake or run (but not at the same time) I think you missed your vocation as a lyricist!

      I do hope your back is feeling better quickly, and the project has found it finish. What a great song! Bad days for me generally find me curled up in a corner, no way I could write something so wonderful!
