How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Have You Ever?

in Uncategorized on 10/16/09

Waited all day for the UPS guy…afraid to leave the house, only to miss him when you were ummm indisposed.

Checked your blog to see if it will brighten you day and realized you have lost one of your invisible friends.

Had a fight with the Tupperware and pots that are taking over the kitchen cupboard….and lost.

Shopped for 3 hours with your lovely 10 year old daughter to find just the right top for picture day. Come home with boots, jeans, runners and NO top. Silver lining. She found just the “Gee Mom, I am in Grade 5 ya know” Top and not a pre-schooler anymore top. Right in her very own closet. Ya think I’ve been played?

Realized that burning smell is not the furnace kicking in for the first time this season, it’s your super expensive, ultra important Chi Hair Straightener.

Spent an honest hour making a dinner you think the whole family will love only to realize pretty much only the dog appreciated your effort.

Welcome to my world! Hope the weekend treats you well!

      Oooo Chi’s shouldn’t smell – wha’happened??

      Tupperware can go kiss my butt – I gave up on that fight years ago, LOL!

      I have started trying to get my son to eat the foods I cook instead of baby food. The dogs usually end up eating it and out comes the baby food. Oh, well. Gotta keep trying, right? Right?

      All of it. In the same day. Except for the dinner bit – ’cause you know; I don’t do cooking…. Oh and the shopping with a ten year old girl; mines a guy.

      Quit.peeking.into.my.house.for.all.of.your.blog.material.

      I haven’t cleaned can’t you see? Oh, no, it’s because I have the candles burning and it’s ambient light…

      “Had a fight with the Tupperware and pots that are taking over the kitchen cupboard….and lost.”

      Happens to me daily! Most of the time when i lose i just leave he crap laying wherever the battle ended. Hubbs-to-be sweeps in and restores the kitchen order…

      and the a day comes!!

      Hope your weekend is fab!

      Oh, I so hear you on the dinner making. My husband always PRETENDS to like it though so that’s good. Nothing like kids saying “yuck” to your face, especially when it is far from “yuck”. šŸ˜‰

      Lost the fight with the pots in the cupboard? Many many times.

      Yes to every single question…

      Especially the dinner part. I work so hard to try to please picky eaters, and when I make something delicious and kid-friendly, and they refuse, I get so upset.
