How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Have You Ever?

in Uncategorized on

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!

    1. No (I missed him because I popped into the garden and he ignored the note on the front door), yes, yes, yes, yes, yes…..clearly my world too!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    4. I, too, always feel a little sad when I notice that I have lost a follower. I try not to take it personally, but I do wonder what made them decide to stop following.

    5. As for the failure of dinner, our rule was that at the end of dinner everyone got to vote thumbs up or thumbs down, but to spare the feelings of the cook they were not to dissect its failures while they were trying to eat it. Still depressing but not so painful.

    10. I have no idea what a Chi hair straightener is, but I’m off to google it. Sounds like something I’d love to buy. Hair straighteners are worth the money!

      I love these peeks into your life. It is so different from the life I’ll ever have.

    12. Oh yes… especially the dinner part! When that happens, I think that I should’ve just ordered take-out and saved myself the effort.

      Have a great weekend.

    13. Every time I read your posts, I get a laugh and it brightens my day 🙂 I don’t have anything really to complain about, but I’m on bedrest for a couple of weeks and it’s boring, so a laugh is much appreciated…LOVE your posts and humor, it’s just such a pleasure to come here and read.

    15. Oh have I ever?! Yes, to every single one, especially that dinner one. I hate to cook as it is, so when it goes unappreciated, it’s even worse!
