How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Have You Ever?

in Everyday on 06/07/09


*Pinched your eyelid in your eyelash curler.
*Gone to the ATM and driven away WITHOUT your cash.
*Made sandwiches for you kids to take to school and then remembered it’s hot lunch day.
*Lugged you butt out of bed to start the day, hit the shower, only to realize it was Saturday.
*Gone to the store for milk, spent $100.00 on Groceries..but not picked up the flipping milk.
*Walked downstairs and not been able to remember what you were on your way to do.
*Left laundry in the wash….for 2 days.
*Slept all night with your pajama top on backwards.
*Run to the mall with spit up on your shirt.
*Worn the same pair of pants two days in a row.

Congratulations you have joined the ranks of the tired Mamas.
Go ahead, make yourself a strong cup of coffee. You’re gonna need it.

      Yes, yes, yes… you’re not alone, mama! I hate doing that with my eyelash curler! And yup, every time I spend insane amounts of money at the grocery store I come home without the things I went to buy in the first place… so annoying!

      Love it! I always forget something at the store. Don’t get me started about walking to another part of the house and then forget what I’m doing. How about this one — I called my husband at work tonight to tell him something and then forgot when he answered the phone.LOL

      Love this! 🙂 🙂 🙂

      When people ask me how I’m doing I’ve been saying “just tired”. Ever since I’ve been a mom (20 years now), I’ve been tired :).
      I did learn to take some time off ..I’ve driven to BK’s drivethru and leave without the kids’ food bc my mind’s just somewhere else.
      Have a great week:
      I love your new purple look! I thought I was already following you but to my surprise, I’m your new follower , who happens to be your 100th follower – so cool…

      I can SO related. I am guilty of all of those. I had a baby that was a spit up factory and even if I got to the mall clean, I left it, stinky and smelly.

      Why is it that the one item that gets left is the one that is needed the most??? I just don’t get it.

    13. Eliza says

      June 7, 2009 at 9:53 pm

      Yes to ALL of the above, except the kids sandwiches, as I don’t have any, (kids that is) 🙂

      I only have one pair of jeans that fits my fat booty so I wear the same jeans every day and wash them about once a week.

      Haha!! Yes, I have done all of those things except the getting to ready to work on a Saturday happened when I was pregnant. Both Hubby and I did it.

Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!
