I simply can't be the only one. Don't you...
Taste the milk and think it's a wee bit off, you know, it stinks like sour! So you go and ask your significant other to give it a try. Honey drink this stink. Is it sour?
I can't be the only one to use the ol "Oh the Kids are so tired, I think we better be going..." to escape the family function that has gone on 2 hours toooo long.
Someone besides me must have hoped for rain so your Hubby's golf game will be cancelled, or at least cut short.
I'm sure I'm not the only Mom, short on time and out of ideas, who has thrown a wiener into a bowl of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and called it a balanced meal.
I may be the only fool who buys light popcorn and then smoother's it in extra butter. mmmm. Hey, the lady in front of me at the McDonald's Drive-thru today got the biggie fries and a Diet Coke. Same difference.
Of course this doesn't make me feel better about the fact that I spent 45 minutes on the treadmill and then celebrated with a chocolate bar. Sigh.
I am SURE I am not the only wasteful human to simply discard a funkified container of Tupperware full of mystery meat instead of doing the responsible thing and oh I don't know, washing it!
Ever turned a sock over to hide a hole? Nope, me either.
This is what passes for normal here in the Suburbs. At least I hope it does.
I'm pretty sure everybody does it.

Nope you're not the only one :) Harriet Nelson...I'm not!
I plead the fifth for all of the above. I swear, though, that I haven't done them. Much. at least not all in a day. Nor have I said "whatever" when my son said just wanted fig newtons for dinner. It had fiber in it right?
I can relate to ALL of these points. Great post!
Nope..you are not alone!! Its good to hear that I'm not either!! ;)
Oh no... I have never bought light popcorn and smothered it in butter. Too funny.
Of course, it's survival in the suburbs just like your title says.
Buy have you ever consumed a fudge bar WHILE on the treadmill??? huh??
:0
You're not alone. :)
Okay, I've never thrown away a perfectly good pair of poopie underpants (my kid's, of course!) because I couldn't bear the thought of throwing that in the wash!
Great post.
Vicki...Fig newtons are mostly fruit too. I'm sure!
Suz...ha ha While ON the treadmill? Well done!
Buckeroomama. Done that too!
I'm June Cleaver and would never do any of that...when others are looking :)
Both the hubs and I are guilty of tossing mystery leftovers in whatever container is unlucky enough to be storing them. My Mom, otherwise known as Mrs. Cleaver, is horrified by this. That's why the hubs is my soulmate. We're on the same page with being ridiculously wasteful. Ah ha
Unfortunately, my little one doesn't like mac and cheese. So I just give him the hot dog and call it a day.
;-)
Oh, I do the tupperware thing all the time. Thank goodness for the new disposables! Makes my laziness so much less expensive.
I reward myself with potato chips, not chocolate, but yeah. Guilty!
Too fun to read!
Hubby and I were thrilled when we had our kids and we were FINALLY able to use the old "it's getting late and the kids are getting tired" excuse! Love that one!
LOL, I have thrown more Tupperware away then I should have!
You are totally not the only one!!! I can absolutely admit to at least 90% of those points. In fact, I'll probably be acting out the first one when I get my husband up, since I'm being nice and letting him sleep in this morning (the sour milk isn't his punishment for sleeping in, really it isn't!). :)
Oh I can easily identify with almost ALL of those things on your list. Especially throwing away the tuberware. Been there done that...more than once :)
Wieners plus mac and cheese are TOTALLY well balanced my Dear. Totally.
I definitely am guilty of the tupperware one. Sometimes it's just too disgusting to even open the lid.
So not the only one! I go a step further with the milk. If it stink at in the carton, I pour it in a glass just to make sure the whole carton is sour. Somtimes it's just crusty and gross around the rim but the inner milk is fine. My husband is repulsed by this habit. Whatever. No one has ever died from spoiled milk in my house!
Ha ha! I have done many of those things! Who ever said hotdogs in mac and cheese wasn't a well balanced meal? ha ha ha! :)
Oh, and thanks for grabbing my button! I'm grabbing yours as well! :)
You are not the only one. I've done everything in the post. I love using the kids to get out of social events early.
I do the treadmill thing too!
It's ok, we deserve it :)
Love it! You just freely mentioned what so many of us pretend doesn't happen...
I'm new to your blog. Followed you here from Momma Such. Grabbing your button. What fun!
Tupperware is expendable.....
That's why socks have two sides.... for the hiding of the holes........
God meant the extra butter to go on the light popcorn... That's why "Light" anything was invented.....
for our own innovations.......
Thanks for the chuckle!!! ( and the knowledge that I am not alone...)
Great post! Of course we've all done it! Each and every one and then some.
No, your not the only one! And yes give me that real butter to poor on my light popcorn. We do it all the time!
LOL...this is great M.M.
but extra butter of light popcorn is less calories than extra butter on normal popcorn and diet coke tastes sweeter and I NEED chocolate energy after my exercise class!! sometimes tupperware just has to be replaced so it would have been thrown out anyway and husbands main kitchen job is "will it still pass" taste tester!!
"...45 minutes on the treadmill and then celebrated with a chocolate bar..."
We think a lot alike :-)
xo
I call what's in the Tupperware Science class! We have a lot of Science classes here at my house! Or, we play guess what is was! LOL!!
Hugs!!
You're definitely not the only one!!
Right on girl! Especially about the milk. If it really IS sour, why do we need verification from the hubs?!
I've thrown many a tupperware away. I wouldn't have to if I cleaned out my fridge more often (that means more than 1 every 2 months)....
Oh no - you are not alone! I have thrown out my share of tupperware, claimed the kids seemed a bit beat, so we couldn't go {insert lame event here} and I often reward my exercise with treats. Something has to keep you going!
Hi there. I have to confess. I don't even throw in the weenie. I just hand out the macaroni and call that dinner. Oops! :)
Your posts are always able to if not make me chuckle make me laugh right out loud. Brilliant!
Oh I am pretty sure I have done all of these things :)
Hey!
LOL! This is so funny....love the one about the diet coke & large fries
xxx
i'm sooo the chocolate bar reward after a good workout.
LMAO off. I'm right there with you. Are you telling me running on the treadmill then eating a chocolate bar doesn't cancel itself out? What have I been thinking all these years.
we are soo alike 45 min on a tread mill for one chocolate bar.. i love it!!!!!!!!!!!! hugs
LOL! Love this!
ha ha - great minds think alike here!! too funny! only thing - I don't exercise - and it it starting to show!!
Too funny. I just had the spoiled milk experience tonight. YUCK!
OMG, I'm soooooooo with you on these, lol. But I've 'never' wished for rain when hubby golfs.
;o)
hahaha I loved this post. I seriously thought I was the only one in the world who throws away tupperware containers when there's old food in it. I do it when nobody is around so it doesn't count.
I am so guilty of the tupperware thing. TOTALLY. If we didn't want to eat it, why would we want to look at it again, and smell it's wrath!?
You are perfectly imperfect! Or wonderfully abnormally normal! I have soooo done the funktainer thingamajig.
All of the above. Eating a bar while exercising sounds so much like me. Or playing sick so I don't have to go to the inlaws!
uh hmmmmmm what part should I admit to? :P
