Soundtrack of our lives...ideal vs. reality

The thing I love most about swimming is it gives me time to think. Sometimes I ponder things of great importance and substance, othertimes, not so much. Last night I was thinking....if my life had a soundtrack and ran to the 42 min of a TV episode...what would it be...'and it went a little something like this'

Title sequence - LIfe is a Highway by Rascal Flats : a montage of life's 'sparkly moments', lots of clip shots of us all being happy and laughing. During the slow ballad bit, it would show me getting cross with one of the kids, followed by lots of hugging shots.

Super Woman Moment- This would play while I went about achieving everything that was on my todo list with faultless hair and makeup (and heels), I would then have time to 'go for lunch with the ladies' and we'd sit around looking faultless with our wellbehaved, clean children playing quietly at our feet. We'd throw our heads back and laugh

The drama moment - something big would happen, some trial that would cause me turmoil. I might look up to the sky and question why me, claim it was too much for one person to bear, a burdon too far.  Then the music changes and I would begin to realise that there was hope, I would pick myself up and set about overcoming said adversity. There would then be a montage sequence (becuase there always is, and lets face it makes it much more interesting!) and it's hard to solve problems in 42 min without 'the montage'

Romantic moment into closing credits - the kids would be in bed, Dan and I would laugh at all the things that had happened that day, we'd talk over a lovely homemade pudding that had no calories in it and then snuggle on the couch without the telly going on, or one of having to work on the laptop on various lessons, newsletters etc............

______________________YEAH RIGHT ____________________

BUT IN REALITY - it's much more like this....

And the love song at the end...Fat Bottomed Girls - (ok a bit harsh maybe, but to show that 1. I most definately can still laugh at myself and 2. There is always a bit of room for Glee!!!)

If I could have just one song, of something to always keep in mind, to play in the background of my life, then it most definately would be this...

Love you all ladies...and if life had a soundtrack, what would yours be???
