One of the downsides of being a Middle Aged Mama, is that I seem to spend a fair proportion of my time as a taxi service.
Although Mr 19 has a licence and car, Miss 17 still needs constant chauffeurring.
And then there are the occasional phone calls from my “third child” that go something like this: “Honey I forgot my ID tag/mobile phone today, could you drop it off to me please?!” (Luckily it is only a 5 minute drive to the hubster’s workplace but still!)
I work from home, so of course I have plenty of time to run around and do errands for other family members (huh)!
Sometimes it feels like I could easily have driven to John Hughes in Perth – and back!
One thing that makes all that drive time bearable is that it is a rare opportunity to listen to my OWN choice of music.
My favourite driving playlist is made up of mostly rock (with a bit of disco thrown in for good measure!) from the 70s onwards – I don’t mind a bit of nostalgia when I’m driving – and I know all the words so can belt them out with the best of ’em!
Here are my top 10 9 in chronological order:
- September by Earth Wind and Fire (1971)
- Blame it on the Boogie by the Jackson Five (1978)
- Hold the Line by Toto (1978)
- Turn me Loose by Loverboy (1981)
- She Drives me Crazy by Fine Young Cannibals (1989)
- I’ve been Thinking about You by Londonbeat (1991)
- Missing by Everything but the Girl or Sade (Seems to be some debate about this one!)
- According to You by Orianthi (2009)
- Treasure by Bruno Mars (2013)
They are also great to listen to when I’m doing the vacuuming – I tuck my iPhone in my bra (sorry, is that TMI?!), plug in my headphones and boogie my way to a clean house!
Would any of these songs find a home on your driving playlist?!
