‘Welcome to the Jungle,’ Guns N’ Roses
After a long day at work, I step through the door, and the chaos hits me like a freight train. It’s like a scene from a rock concert—clothes strewn everywhere, the AC blasting with windows wide open, and the unmistakable cacophony of TV shows playing in vacant rooms. The microwave is pinging, hinting that someone was hungry but decided that a snack wasn’t as thrilling as whatever adventure they embarked on. While I pick up the mess, I can’t help but channel Axl Rose: “Welcome to the jungle, it gets worse here every day!” -
‘Don’t Stop Believin’,’ Journey
To my fellow warriors in the parenting trenches, let’s hold onto the dream that one day, our little ones will venture off into the world, leaving us with a house that isn’t a war zone. Sure, the rising costs of living can be daunting, but I cling to that glimmer of hope—one day they’ll graduate high school (and college!) and hop on that midnight train wherever it leads. Yes, I need to keep believing in a brighter future! -
‘All Night Long,’ Lionel Richie
“Everyone you meet, they’re jamming in the street, all night long”—that’s cute, Lionel, but not on my watch! I’ve transformed into the neighborhood fun police. Listen, I need my beauty sleep because, let’s face it, lack of rest can lead to weight gain, and no thanks! So, if you’re planning a raucous night out, let’s wrap it up by 9:30 PM, shall we? -
‘Our Lips are Sealed,’ The Go-Go’s
Nothing beats catching up with my college pals over a glass of wine while the kids play inside. We share laughs and memories, but we have to keep the volume down—don’t want them to know we once had lives outside of parenting! As we reminisce about our wild days, we promise to keep our lips sealed, because girls just want to have fun, but not in front of the little ones! -
‘Jump,’ Van Halen
I’m constantly hopping on and off the latest health bandwagon—yoga, Zumba, the master cleanse, you name it! Yet, I seem to have a natural talent for gaining weight without even trying. But as Van Halen says, “Might as well jump!” I’ll leap into the next trendy workout as soon as I hear about it. -
‘Faith,’ George Michael
With age comes wisdom—or at least a little more faith. I’ve come to realize that all my frantic running around was probably unnecessary. Finding peace through faith has introduced a new joy into my life that I never knew before. My younger self would have scoffed at the thought, but now I understand that sometimes, trusting in something bigger than yourself is the way to go. -
‘I Can’t Go For That,’ Hall and Oates
“I can’t go for that” has become my mantra. Compression garments? Nope! Staying up late unless a kid is sick? Not happening! And don’t even get me started on self-checkout lines—I can’t go for that either! At this stage in life, it feels liberating to assert what I simply won’t accept anymore. -
‘Ain’t Nobody,’ Chaka Khan
Ain’t nobody got time for nonsense! That says it all!
