Since I gave up the single life and settled down to become a hip suburban mama, I have found more then a few annoying questions for which I have no answer.
Is there no answer...or am I just that blond?!
Where DOES the other sock go?
Why DO men think it's OK to fart in the marital bed?
At what point do us young, vital women, start making that odd grunting groaning noise as we drag our behinds off the floor?
How is it that in a house with four people, two of which are adults, the wife seems to be the only one who has mastered the art of changing the roll on the toilet paper roll?
Why is it that men get better looking with age, and women just get old?
When did Kraft dinner with a side of wiener and an apple become a well balanced meal?
What did I do before kids?
When did the definition of an amazing evening change? I'd gladly pass up a night out at a bar in exchange for a quiet evening at home with Hubby, a bowl of popcorn and a rented flick.
At what point did I stop just grabbing clothes off the shelf in the store that were "my size" and taking them to the cashier? Now everything must be tried on.
When did finding a bikini that actually fits, or a pair of jeans that look fab become a true victory?
When did I start to get excited about a sale at the grocery store?
How did a quality carpool become something to envy?
What happened to my boobs?
Help!

PS Many thanks again for the award - that was the really nice part; the difficult bit was having to choose 10 RECENT blogs!!
hehe! i love this list... a lot!
Wait.........you serve apples with your mac n cheese??
Man my kids are deprived!!!
And the boobs are still there...just look farther down!!!
Oh and you forgot to ask the really good question...........
What's all the popping and creaking noises during sex???
Wait....
What??
It's just me and my knees? (sigh)
Love this post! I also am the only one who knows how to change a toilet paper roll in our house. And sadly, I too would pass up a night out to stay in and relax if I could. I haven't watched a movie in forever!
I ask myself some of the same questions every day.... lol. Great post!
When you find those answers, let me know, I will have a unicorn delivered to your door. :)
great questions
my sad question is why do I have to dye my hair every 6 weeks because of gray hairs when I used to just dye it to change the colour????
and seriously what is up with the toilet paper roll????It's not rocket science.
What?!! You can still wear a bikini? Oh, you lucky girl. Don't want to hear any complaining from you!
I'm so glad I found your blog, you make me laugh. And I desperately need to laugh as often as possible.
I live with 3 boys: my husband, my almost 12 year old son and my 8 year old son. Imagine living with these guys. Do you pity me? You should...They don't know what a hamper is, definitely don't know about replacing toilet paper or putting their trash INSIDE the trash can, everything and I mean everything ends up on the floor, the counters or the kitchen table. And I can go on and on and on. And mind you, I explain how to and what to do with these things daily, but to no avail. But I still love them, although I may endup at the looney bin.
LOL.
go braless - it pulls the wrinkles out!
And if he only does it in bed you're very lucky!
I know what happened to my boobs, KIDS! The day I can afford a boob job I am SO getting one! Thanks for coming by and remembering me!
It may not be a technical error on your end. I changed somethings around to enable the subscribe by email function. I dont think that I have added back the RSS yet. I am kind of going through a mini redesign at them moment.
See, now I'm rambling :)
LOL...nobody changes the paper towel roll at my house, and nobody takes the trash out til' I scream about it! And shutting the front door, what is up with that?? My kids don't know how!
Your boobs have gone to where all mommy's boobs have gone before, and back!
Oh I recognise a lot of those. Although strangely my experience of buying clothes seems to be the other way round. I don't have time to go to shops and try on stuff (or if I do, daughter runs off when I'm down to my underwear) so I just throw something my size into my trolly at Tesco and hope it fits. The only label I wear at the moment is 'Florence and Fred'!
All excellent questions! Although I am the opposite at a clothing store, I grab and go and try on at home. Then return them when they don't fit.
Oh, LOL! unfortunately, I can relate to too many of these...hee hee!
Thanks for stopping by! Glad to meet you :)
I have no answers for anything except the Boobs. Gravity at work my dear. So please add a good bra to the fab jeans and bikini list. Thanks, MM.
yes, I can relate to these things. Even with two daughters, I'm the only one who can handle "mission toilet paper"... ditto for all kinds of basic operational procedures!
Thanks! I need that!
Oh, and by the way - I'm the only one capable of changing the roll here too!
those are GREAT questions!! thanks for coming by my blog :)
Love love Love your post! I think all that came with age. Thank you for the wonderful comment you left at my blog. I really had a great laugh here really your post.
Oh my gosh, are you reading my mind?!? ROTFLOL! These are GREAT questions!
Sorry about your boobs. Maybe they're at the bar with the boobs I lost after childbirth enjoying a couple of margaritas. Since I don't get to go to those places anymore, I'll have to be satisfied with my current droopy status.
How do we do it?
Oh dear, no answers I'm afraid but you've just given me a lot of questions. Other Mothers do that grunting thing too? I must tell Husband. Do Other Mothers wake up in the night and wonder what the hell happened? Hope so MH
So well put! This is an awesome list. My favorite is "what did I do before kids?" It was only 15 months ago, and I'm totally clueless as to what the heck my life was before this munchkin came along!!
PS - I've just tagged you in a super-short meme over at my blog so come for a quick visit. :)
i think i will hang onto single life for a while....
adorable post!
well balanced meal? yours has fruit? Man - Mag warms up chili, pours it on fritos and calls it a meal!
for my childless anniversary weekend? Mag and I went to dinner, did laundry, watched a movie and mowed the lawn. Lookit the party animals.
LOL!! I wonder all of those same things! Let me know if you ever figure out the answers..please :)
I so agree with EVERYTHING you've said. You sure we weren't twins separated at birth!?
these are so valid - when you get all the answers - post them okay??
