Your Kids are Watching Your Every Move (4-Minute Country Music Video)
I sometimes suspect that Country-Western music is the most JewishMOM of musical genres. Get your tissues ready, JewishMOM. Thanks to the Bliss Buzz for sending this my way:)

Wow, how perfect for August when our kids are with us 24/7! Also for Elul – when our kids can hopefully see us focussing on our avodat Hashem.
DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’RE BEING WATCHED?
by Bracha Goetz and Chana Zelasko
It’s hard for me to believe that G-d is always there.
That’s why He gave us two-year-olds. They’re always everywhere.
G-d can constantly watch me. Little fella, you’re my proof.
You catch every mistake I make. You copy every goof.
I mumble all my blessings, so even you can hardly hear.
And then I expect that your blessings will come out clear.
When I’m nervous and anxious and acting like a spoiled child,
Why am I confused that your behavior is so wild?
I never wipe my feet before coming in the door.
Why do I get so angry when you dirty up the floor?
You won’t share your toys with guests, and isn’t that what I taught?
“Don’t give all our fruit away!” “Give me those crackers I just bought!”
I tell you: “Don’t be a tattle-tale.” And, “No name-calling, son!”
But you hear me tell Abba all the “news,” when the day is done.
“Everything’s for the best,” I like to say. But why should you believe?
I missed the bus. The bank is closed. You watch me as I grieve.
Your temper tantrums can’t be my fault. I don’t lie kicking on the ground.
But I guess you have heard my “fed-up” scream. It’s not the sweetest sound.
At night, when you’ve been put to bed, and I know you won’t peek,
That’s when I feel I can relax. Then I don’t have to sneak.
Well, who am I kidding? Maybe you can’t see.
But aren’t you my reminder that Someone’s always watching me?
You are like a sponge, soaking up everything I do.
Telling me who’s always watching. There’s Hashem – and little you!
I loved this song, along with Just another day in paradise. please can you suggest more similar songs as they are such a beautiful and enjoyable genre of music
