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!

    2. I may never get any sleep tonight because I just discovered your blog and I adore you! Where have you been all my life?

    3. These are great! You are hysterical and i think we share quite a few faults!!

      love the kids get kraft you get lobster night! Might have to bring that round here in my home!

    4. I’m tempted to steal this idea from you and do my own weekly confessions…. Might clense my guilty soul or something.

      That or totally shame me.

    6. MY BABY POWDER SECRET!
      Hee hee. I thought everyone knew this one:

      Here it is!
      Works best for blonds or lighter colour hair. If you don’t have time to wash your hair but it looks a wee bit ummm dirty. You can shake a little bit of baby powder into the roots of your hair and then brush it through. Makes it look all clean and fresh. (just like dry shampoo only much much cheaper)

    9. You are so not the only one! I don’t call my Grandma as much I need to. I would so hide if they came to my door, they would have to find us first. I love the lobster one – so funny.

    10. I think that I have done about everything on your list. But, I offer my kids the lobster. They just never want our fancy food.

      I definitely hide from all solicitors. I do not have to answer the door or phone just because they called or knocked!!!

    11. I’m reading this with a huge bag of crisps on my lap; my diet starts tomorrow. The Jehovah Witnesses are invited into my house whereby I get my husband to ask them questions they cannot answer and they leave in disgust. We are always polite, just annoying. :O)
