If My Life Were A Reality TV Show...

My husband and I were watching the show "Little Couple" the other evening. For those of you who don't know, this show is about the lives of two individuals who are dwarfs (little people) and their journey throughout life. The show basically in tells what challenges little people must face on a daily basis and then goes on to show how they overcome those obstacles. I guess this got my husband thinking because he looks at me and says "what do you have to do to get your own reality TV show?" Well, me being me...this of course got my mind spinning. I wondered would people even be interested if my family and I did have our own reality show? How many people would actually tune in and watch our lives unfold on national TV? What would our show even be called? A day in the life of a Welch? Crazy people who think they are normal? I mean, the possibilities are endless. I thought about my typical day and the things my family and I do. Would a camera guy really want to follow us around all day? I mean, how much does my family really have to offer? My four year old would probably get great reviews, but me? Hummm...
And what about Jeremy? What does he do all day when no one is around? I sure hope he doesn't fart and scratch himself like that at work. Ohh goodness...what does he do when I am not around???
I could just picture us now. The camera guy zooms in on me dancing and singing along in my car, all while busting a move. Now that's what you call ENTERTAINMENT! I wonder how many times I would be caught rolling my eyes at someone because they either said or did something I find rather stupid. How much cleaning would I have to do in order to actually keep my house clean and keep the world from knowing what it really looks like on a daily basis? Lord knows my son can terrorize a room in 30 seconds. It actually amazes me at how fast things can go from spotless to dangerous. This kid deserves a medal! It truly does amaze me. I thought about my days spent at work, and then off. Boy that would be something having a camera watching me get ready every morning. Alarm clock goes off at 7:15am, me looking a hot mess! I shower, get dressed, and then put my makeup on. Even after all that, it's not much better. Would I really want the whole world to see me in my old, stained t-shirts and underwear? I could just hear everyone now..."tell that lady to put some clothes on!" The whole world would probably think we never do laundry around here. James wants to wear the same Angry Birds t-shirt every day and night. I promise the laundry does get done people!
I do think it would be interesting to have the crew do playbacks for us from time to time. That way when Jeremy says 'I didn't say that" I could then say "Ohh yes, you did, and this time I have proof." That would never get old. Maybe I am actually starting to like this thought. I could just see our arguments unfolding before everyone. Man that would be something. Of course we would have to throw something in there to keep the ratings up and the audience watching. Tune in next week to find out if Dallas will ever forgive Jeremy. Haha! That's when those playbacks would really come in handy.
I would actually like to see what Jeremy does all day when I am not around. Does he really "work" like he says he does? Did he do what I asked the first time, or does he wait last minute? Does he talk about James and I with his co-workers? Does he wear his seatbelt when I am not there to remind him for the one hundredth time? Inspiring minds want to know. Would the nation start dressing and acting like me? Would I become the focus on the next fashion trend? Would people start saying and using my own catch phrases? Like I said the possibilities are endless. I mean, if Honey Boo Boo and her family can have their own show, and people actually find this entertaining...then my family and I would ruin her ratings! It does make me wonder...Look out world...the Welch's are coming to national TV. Viewer discretion is advised! If My Life Were A Reality TV Show...
