The soundtrack of our lives!

Ask anyone (any parent that is!) and they'll tell you that having kids involves sacrifice. Some might say it's all about sacrifice, but that would be harsh! But whether it's your sleep, your money or your sanity I reckon little people (and I don't mean Oompah Loompahs?!) can seriously rob you of it all! But let me add, very quickly, it's all worth it!!

That said, one of the things that we don't seem to do as much (although Lisa will probably try to deny this!) now that we have two 'little people' is buy music. Not sheet music, but recorded music! Which means my wish-list grows by the day! Currently I'm fighting the temptation to 'invest' in some Bob Dylan, Ray LaMontagne and Rufus Wainwright!

Yet without knowing it, certainly without asking for it, it would appear our lives have acquired a new 'soundtrack'. Although far from original and not a little repetitive our household currently seems to be filled by 'Tears and Tantrums' the latest offering from the as yet undiscovered 'Joshua James'!

I'm left wondering (hoping?!) whether or not other parents of young children have a similar soundtrack endlessly looping, albeit by different artists?!
