How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

This Weeks. . . . . . . . . . Confessions from Suburbia

in Everyday on

I put baby powder in my hair this morning because I was too damn tired to have a shower.

When my kids asked why we had to leave the park. I had no good excuse. I used “Because I said so.” I swore I would never do that.

When the Hubby was away golfing and the kids were tucked all snug in their beds, I snuck more then my share of the freshly baked oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. WAY more.

I had to give myself a courtesy flush. P U!! That will teach me to eat so many oatmeal cookies!

When I saw the Jehovah Witness crew knocking on the door….. I hid.

We fed the kids Kraft Dinner for supper, put them to bed, then feasted on Lobster. Just because.

It took me three days to return a phone call from my 90 year old Grandma.

I had to throw away 4 chicken breasts and a package of ground turkey because I just didn’t get to it in time.

I tried to talk my daughter out of Girl Guides because there are three girls in that group that have been so mean to her. The world doesn’t need any more pre-teen drama.

I honked at an old man I saw tagging a bridge…upon closer inspection, it turns out he was cleaning up the graffiti.

Please tell me I’m not the only one!

    1. Thanks for stopping by over at my place and thanks for the sweet comment. 🙂

      I’m embarrassed to admit that I just sat and read your entire archives. I will definitely be back. You are a hoot!

    3. Ahhh, you are SO not the only one. Take heart. 🙂

      It seems like I am always throwing out expired food items from my fridge and cupboards and this was to be my “living more frugally” year, too!

    4. Cute post….. You are definitely not the only one!!!!! I’m MUCH older (been there, done that)—but I relate to some of those!!!

      Thanks for coming to my blog. I’m very impressed with yours.

      Hugs,
      Betsy

    6. i take the meat out of freezer to cook it the next day. plans change and it sits there, tomorrow for sure. then we go out to dinner and on and on and the meat never gets cooked.
      but i have to toss it out when my hubby’s not looking. he hates it when i waste food and money

    7. I could open a deli with all the meat I’ve thrown away over the years. All of that could happen to anybody. (It doesn’t make you a bad person…no really, it doesn’t.) 🙂

    11. I always say, “Because I’m the meanest Mommy ever!” Sometimes I add, “Auntie Kris and I are having a contest. Do you think I’ll win?”

      This always brings smiles.
