It seems like everyone has their own reality show. They are filled with drama, fighting, rebellion, partying, and irresponsible spending. I'm still waiting for the call, but I've put together my own reality show pilot. What inspired this, you say? My husband has been gone for the last two weeks (including a trip with two of the kids) and it has been quite "interesting" not having him here. I'll give you a sneak preview.
Craziness: Oh, we've got a lot of that in the pilot. This would include, but not be limited to, the toilet overflowing. It gets a little gritty during the scene with me simultaneously holding back two super curious kids while trying to clean up the mess and plunge. It also includes the scene with me trying to figure out which smoke alarm was beeping at 2 a.m. That's a beauty. You'll see some raw emotion there. (I never figured it out and I was mighty tired the next day.)
Wild Parties: Does it get any more wild than Redi-Whip being sprayed directly into your mouth? I think not. Riveting. We also watched Nancy Drew (two nights in a row). Good times.
Irresponsible Shopping Trips: It shows me splurging on this "Open" sign at The Round Barn. I put it in my kitchen. The kids think the kitchen is always open now, but that just adds to the drama. The burlap bow has since been removed by someone unknown to me. I guess I better watch the episode to find out who took it off.
Fear: It shows me awake at night (every night) convinced the "bad guys" are going to burst through my bedroom door any second. I'm terrible at being the only big person sleeping in the house. I may or may not have slept with the house phone in one hand and my cell phone in the other. You'll have to watch to find out. I also may or may not have avoided the basement for the past two weeks. I realize it's going to be difficult to believe that I'm 36 years old, but that's what makes it good television.The ratings are going to be through the roof.

Awww. Tatum. Miss you guys. And those stinkin' smoke alarm episodes are exhausting. We've had some here...then we finally rip them out of the ceiling. Grrr. I wasn't alone though. But I too get scared when I'm the only adult around. I don't know why, but I attribute it to a healthy and wonderful imagination. Which is probably your problem, my dear! Your reality show sounds like a hit, and I love the Round Barn and the sign.
I think we could have had dueling reality shows! My husband was gone for 9 days, leaving me with ALL the kids! And part of his trip was for fun!! It was definitely starting to get scary around here too! I'm so glad you survived!
