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.

This Weeks Confessions From The Suburbs

Dear Romantic Hubby bought me a Chocolate covered candy apple as part of my Valentines Gift.  I promised I would share.  Apparently I lied.  Chocolately covered goodness is all gone.  Went out and replaced it with a second new Delicious Apple.  Shhh.  No one will ever know.

Did my new drivers license arrive in the mail yet?  Well yes, but I keep telling him “No”.  The picture is that horrible and I am that vain!  How did I start looking so much like my mother in just under 5 years?  Not there’s anything wrong with that, she is a stunning 65 year old gal!  Must invest some uber expensive face cream to combat the crows feet and check out that Jillian’s Shred.  Think if I went for some botox the Ministry of Transportation would give me a re-take?

Was secretly relieved when the sleep over / tubing birthday my SweetGirl was invited to was in direct conflict with BlueEyes Gymnastics meet.  She legitimately can’t go and now I don’t have to make up an excuse as to why she can’t sleep over at that bossy know it all full of attitude I can do everything better then you can do it little girls house.

Was so tired that I put lip liner where eyeliner is supposed to go.  Just one eye before I figured my mistake.  Red rouge..not the best look around green eyes.

Sitting cross legged on the floor while writing this post.  Had a HUGE sneeze…and a little bit of pee sneaked out.  Good grief. 

Can you beat that confession?

I hate those sneezes!

I am really dreading having to re-take my DL pic next year. Luckily I don't look anything like my mom.

Secret Mom Thoughts said...

I've replaced candy too.

Viv said...

I let my little guys walk to the bus stop alone together because I am crippled after bleaching the unsealed grout on my living room floor on my hands and knees yesterday. Do I feel pathetic much? You know that I do.

Secretia said...

Kegel exercises my dear, and pee more often, that's the thing to do.

Brian Miller said...

red rouge and green eyes..lol. maybe you will start a new trend. chocolate covered apple candy...yum.

GregoryJ said...

TMI. TMI.

A photo of the eyes would have been nice.
We wouldn't have laughed.


too much.

Stephanie Hartman said...

Girl you are a mess..That is so funny...

In NY one can keep the same photo on their drivers license for a long long time. My wife's photo is several year's old and is still good for a time to come. Doesn't really look anything like her.
I had my photo retaken, 'cause I like to be honest and uptodate or whatever.
It's not a good photo, but then I don't take good photos.
I'll see if I can scan it and post it.

diane said...

OMG honey, thank you so much for making me laugh out loud (yes, I still spell it).
I have a collection of bad photos of me. I look like a terrorist in every single one. I'm very proud.
I'm baking cinnamon buns AND a pumpkin pie, if you lived closer I'd invite you over for coffee. Hugs. xo d

Buckeroomama said...

Move here. We don't have a photo in our driver's license! I do find that a bit weird, too, but I'm not complaining. :)

Much More Than Mommy said...

I have had the same pic on my license since 2002, after I married The Husband. I will never age on my license, because I renew online and they just send me a new license with the same picture. MUWAHAHAHAH!

So when we say "bless you," do we hand you a Kleenex or some TP? ;-)

Busy Bee Suz said...

Ha Ha You are so funny.

Thanks for the reminder...now I am doing my kegels.

Together We Save said...

I hate those sneezes too... but it happens. LOL

Crazy Shenanigans said...

I love that you went out and got a 2nd apple! That's something I would do lol

Laura@Cowboy Boots said...

i don't blame you for not sharing...some things you just can't!

my dl ppl ask why i look PO'd. maybe it was the nasty wait and rude 'stand behind the line' lady? dunno!

I'm sure the red looked ummm really nice on ur eyes! (grins)

as for the pee...it's too hard to sneeze...cover your mouth...protect your keyboard and squeeze ur kegals all at once....

Margaret said...

I hate when I sneeze like that. It always makes me feel like I am two again lol.

Heather @ Two Little Monkeys said...

Love this post! I would have replaced the apple too.

Mrs EyeCanSee said...

Haha. Don't think I beat your "Sniss" confession! I will however, fully admit to eating something and replacing it before the hubs notices it's gone. He's never been the wiser!

Matty said...

You share three things with my wife - 1)She hates her DL picture 2)She pees when she sneezes 3)She thinks the same of another little girl

Marla said...

Oh, I can definately beat that, my little sister! Just stick me on a trampoline or make me laugh, sneeze or cough and watch what this 51 year old bladder can do. It aint pretty!

**** April **** said...

I love how you just keep it real sister! Love it -- I do! I'm 7 months pregnant and one of the message boards I'm on has a WHOLE thread about the "PEE-ZE" LOL... when you sneeze and pee at the same time. bwa ha ha... made me laugh out loud. I've been living in Poise pads since about a month ago since I'm so petite... and tend to have such big babies -- there's no hope for me!

And the lip/eye liner mishap - - yeah, been there done that! LOL... Too funny.. You SHOULD have taken a photo of that! LOL.... we can all comiserate in some form or fashion on that one, too, I'm sure.

Steph said...

Love the confessions!!!
I ate cake for breakfast. I set up an early conference call so that I didn't have to be part of the getting-off-to-school drama this morning. I still haven't showered or brushed my teeth or my hair and it's 12:30. There are mine :)

misszippy said...

You are great! Love the brutal honesty.

suzicate said...

And where is the pic of the eye?

Life Laugh Latte said...

Yeah...I have nothing to confess...I swear...life is Totally perfect. Nope...not tellin:) Holly

Danna said...

My DL is expired. By 2 months- Won't renew until I lose another 10 pounds. How is that for confession! Love- Danna

Existential Waitress said...

I have to get a new driver's license photo this year and am so dreading it. The one I have now is one of those amazing once in a lifetime "Good" driver's license photos. I'm not foolish enough to think this could ever happen again. Ugh.

Amy said...

I am one who also looks like my Mom.. It is not a bad thing. I love what happen with the eyes. I have put the wrong contact in and that was a mess. Love your confessions. I hope you took an award today when you stopped by.

Mighty M said...

You have me beat for sure! I hope the lip liner came off okay!

Frugal Vicki said...

Girl, you never let me down! I love your confessions, and no I can never top that!

Alyssa said...

Can you beat that confession? I wouldn't try. I am so not turning into my mother, nor do I eat candy that isn't mine...and, really, how is it possible that I can slightly spill a glass of water down there in only one spot? Achoo.

Randi Troxell said...

hehe!!

great confessions.. and don't feel too bad over that whole lip liner thing.. i've sooooooo done THAT before, but at least you noticed after only one eye.. it took me doing both.. lol!!!

Technodoll said...

I hope you were wearing undies...

That is all :-D

Veronica said...

Thanks to sneezing, laughing and any other type of excitement, I have a little bit of pee sneak out on a daily basis.

Many thanks go out to my three beautiful children who have given me that sweet peeing gift.

Sarah said...

I always eat everything that I say I'm going to share with my husband. Hehe. And then he gets mad!

Monique-aka-Surferwife23 said...

Oh gawd! Those are the worst sneezes.

And I have to go in for an eye test and new picture within this next month and I am dreading it.

The mad woman behind the blog said...

I went 5 years without a valid driver's license b/c my pic was so hot. So hot that I even had people ask me if it was me. Fockers!
The one I have now: VISIBLE makeup line. yikes!

Vodka Logic said...

Don't you love it when you can say no and not be the "bad guy"

I hate sleep overs...

Michelle @ Flying Giggles said...

Why can't they just leave the old pic on. I was pregnant when I took my last picture. They guys said, "Oh, your stuck with this picture for a while and you pregnant!" Not nice.

Michele said...

Those sneezes are the worst!!!

Momfever said...

That's what motherhood does to you...

And my driving license picture sucks big time too. I look like I've just escaped from prison and am armed and dangerous.

The Wifey said...

Hahaha.

I might be able to beat that one: I went all weekend thinking it was the day before whatever day it really was. Sunday (in my mind Saturday) my girlfriends came over. I was sitting with them on the couch eating Chocolate Chip cookies. I sat up and noticed something brownish on my couch and said "Ew I got Chocolate on the couch". I cleaned it up and sat back down.

I noticed 15 minutes later it had presented itself again. This time it was a darker -red- tint. I felt between the seat of my pants and sure enough, there was the answer to my mysterious reappearing stain. I ran like hell to the restroom yelling "I'm not supposed to start until Sunday!!" To which my girlfriends of course yelled after me "It IS Sunday!"

*facepalm* I had to flip the cushions. Don't even ask me how I didn't notice I was bleeding so heavily through DENIM. I'm clueless sometimes, I swear.

Christina Lee said...

hehe the sleep-over thing--yep feel that way alot!!

Eve said...

thaaaank you for making me laugh :)

I'd like to see anyone top these confessions!

Too Many Hats said...

I wonder how many times you can replace that apple before someone gets suspicious. It sounds like a really good challenge to me.

Haddock said...

Ha ha ..... enjoyed reading that.

Adventures In China said...

So funny! I have these thoughts too. I use eyeliner as lip liner on purpose, but I agree, the other way around just does not work!

Martha said...

I don't think I can beat that confession, hmm, secretly relieved that my Dh had to take youngest to Scout meeting last night.

Lee the Hot Flash Queen said...

I am just sitting here laughing my ass off!! This post was hysterical. Kegel exercises..helps with the pee. How the heck do you spell that anyway??

JoeyRes said...

My driver's license picture was taken before my Tony Danza haircut grew out. It's B-A-D.

Also, I refuse to acknowledge pee that comes out from sneezing or coughing. Therefore, I cannot beat your confession because I refuse to admit that condition exists.

B Sparkly said...

Pilates is key against sneez wee wee:) Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I'm now following you.

Insanitykim said...

Hahahahahah! Thank goodness it didn't leak on the computer! Gack!

And sharing? What's that? You're too kind, to replace it. I would eat the second one too... ;)

I have been absent. But I am back. Aren't you excited??!!!!
