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!

    6. I’ve so been there. I love my CHI!!! I’ve had it for like 6yrs now and it’s still working like I just bought it yesterday. LOL

      The cupboards in my kitchen barely hold anything. I fight with them all the time!

      I’m so there!

    7. Oh wow.. I totally have days like these as well. Especially the dinner part. It’s just Trinity and I, and she is a super picky eater…

      “Checked your blog to see if it will brighten you day and realized you have lost one of your invisible friends.” ~ try not to take that personal… although I always wonder why someone stops following as well. Their loss, for sure.

      And I CANT live without my Chi either, but man, I hate that smell. LOL

      There is an award for you on my blog. It’s my own creation of the “PIMP” award (pee’d in my pants)…
      I “heart” you!! and so glad we are bloggy buddies. 🙂

    10. do we have the same UPS man? Although it doesn’t matter over here because he doesn’t wait. He is a ring and dropper, whether I am sitting right on the porch or not.
      Other than the 10 year old, yep, been there done that.
      have a good weekend!

    12. Oh, I’ve burned my hair with that Chi iron as well. Ouch! I hope your weekend is better and things calm down.

      Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. I actually have been a follower of yours for a few weeks but have been so busy with my move and trip, that i’ve not been commenting on blogs as much. Hope you’ll visit again!

      Take care!

    13. This sums up the lives of us glamourous Moms!!! I have been played with the shopping trip too many times to count…but it is still shopping. 🙂 So I am game.
