Music

I'm sitting here, playing on my laptop and half watching/listening to Idol. I'm not a huge fan, but I'm enjoying listening to the songs, and it's making me think. I wonder what was the point that I stopped playing music (CD's) around the house? It seems like forever ago that I put on a CD and had a good sing-a-long. Music makes me feel good, so why don't I listen to it more!?
I can probably answer my own question with one word..... KIDS. When we had our first baby, I played music still, but more softly (obviously), and not quite as often. I was still trying to work out the motherhood thing, so music took a back seat. When we had our second baby, well, I think the stereo went into semi-retirement. Only when we had guests did I drag out the old fav's and crank up the tunes. Now that we've had our third child, I can only say that I am embarrassed about my lack of CD-playing. It just doesn't rate as a 'must do' thing in my day, and my day is comprised of a list of must-do's of varying importance.
Soooo, my aim over the next few months is to play more music around the house... and to SING LOUDLY (sorry kids/neighbours/husband)
