It was girls' night a couple weeks ago and I was child-free for at least a few hours.
I couldn't get out of the house faster.
I was to meet the other gals for dinner at 6:15 and my departure time got earlier and earlier. I made and fed my family dinner by 4:30pm and announced I was on the way out.
My husband said: "don't think I don't notice that you are leaving an hour and a half before dinner and several hours before your movie starts...."
"Traffic" I said as I click my heels and closed the front door.
I had the music blasting on my corolla's 1992 stereo speakers so loud that I didn't hear my cell phone ring. I was holding the phone.
"smells like teen spirit" was playing and I had a flashback to the teen angst I thought I would never feel or understand again. The adolescent mix feeling of pent up emotion, rebellion and freedom.
I sang over the music and had the windows down. I was free. We laughed and told stories and ate burgers and fries and nobody changed a diaper.
Hours later, on the way home from the movies, I couldn't wait to see my kids again. I wanted to sleep on the floor of their room except that just seemed too tragic.
What is the song you roll your windows down to and sing over?

This will totally date me but here goes:
Band: Dramarama
Song: Anything, Anything
circa: 1985
Loud and fast. Very cool.
For some reason:
Jane, by Jefferson Starship.
I just love belting that one out, that I suffer from envy of the guy's voice every time I hear it.
OK, I may get in trouble for this, but here's my song:
Save A Horse, Ride A Cowboy
Oh my, it's the best turn-up-the-music-loud-and-roll-down-the-windows song ever. EVER.
Now, if I'm with my husband, it's gotta be Erasure's River Deep Mountain High. We know every word.
