Welcome!

I'm often amazed and confused by the bizarre happenings behind the closed and competitive doors of the typical suburban home. The following is a place to share my thoughts and reflections on daily life as I try to navigate this crazy and wonderful world.

There are Fairies in the Suburbs!


The Dish Fairy came today.
The Laundry Fairy too.
The Vacuuming Fairy is scheduled for later this afternoon.
The Mopping Fairy will follow.
The Dusting Fairy is always here.
The De-Cluttering Fairy never gets a break.
The Lunch Making Fairy loves hot lunch Wednesdays...otherwise she is on duty.
The Toilet Paper Replacing Fairy is always close at hand.
The Coffee Buying Fairy is essential.
The Garbage Collecting Fairy is truly magic.
The Bathroom Cleaning Fairy hates her job but does it anyway.
The Kitchen Counter Cleaning Fairy can't keep up.
The Fish Bowl Cleaning Fairy is fairly new and wonders how she got here?
The Shoe Straightening, Front Hall Tidying, Bench Cleaning Fairy will never win.
The Bed Changing Fairy, strangely, doesn't mind her job.
The Carpool Fairy.
The Homework Helping Fairy.
The Grocery Shopping Fairy
There are too many to list!

Maybe I should thank them.
No!
In the Suburbs, no one ever thanks a fairy.
