How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

This Weeks. . . . . . . . . Confessions From Suburbia

in Everyday on

I was secretly upset when a women I volunteer with proclaimed herself Co-Convener of a charity event I RUN. You are not co-convener when you pick up one job out of twenty. Petty me.

I fed my kids pizza for dinner on Saturday night and again on Tuesday.

I haven’t returned my “Needy Girlfriends” phone call in three days. I just don’t have the energy to deal right now.

I tanked our budget this month. I really tried to wear an old dress by sprucing it up with some contraband underwear . But, then I did some emotional shopping and went out and bought a brand new dress and some kick ass shoes to go with it!

I threw my shirt in the dryer for 5 minutes and called it ironed.

I wore the same pair of jeans three days in a row. It happens.

I really don’t love my SweetGirls BFF. She is loud, and pushy and manipulative. Sigh.

I ate and ate…….. and ate so many freakin Christmas cookies that now I have to do more baking before Thursday. Ahhh the joys of the Holiday Season!

    1. Ha Ha. You always say what the rest of us are thinking.
      And when I don’t like my girls friends..guess what? They don’t get invited to our house. I am mean like that. I don’t do loud or obnoxious kids…at all!!!
      Happy Baking.

    3. Hey – pizza is healthy! It’s got all the food groups! And the shoes – you deserve them (so says the girl who actually hears shoes calling her name on a regular basis)!

    4. I’ve eaten more sweets than any one woman should be allowed…and it’s only Tuesday. I 99% have no energy to deal with my girlfriends petty problems. Selfish? Hmmm…And next time someone wants to “co-coordinate” something with you, I’d be sure to give her plenty to do 😉 Haha!

    7. I would give “Coconvener”..all the dirty work..that’ll show her..isnt there one in every crowd..and I thought the dryer was my iron..mmm..??

    8. Oh man I miss that dryer trick.

      Glad you at those cookies, because I don’t have any Christmas cookies, so now there is Christmas cookie balance again in the world. You saved Christmas!!

      🙂 Merry Christmas!

    10. We had pizza 2 times and Jack in the Box…that is so unlike me…I am DONE! It was sanity vs. “good” mom. Sanity won! And, isn’t that what the dryer is for?

    11. Yeah, but did you eat the cookies for breakfast??? 🙂

      My confession is: I wrote an outwardly pleasant, secretly snarky Christmas card note filled with bragging to an old school chum who has always been very competitive with me. She started it!

    12. I love your confessions. Pretty sure I could confess those same things (as well as some other good stuff!).

      My mommy friends and I used to run a website called Suburb Moms (which is currently on hiatus), so from one suburban mom to another, love the blog!

      Thanks for stopping by my blog and hope to see you around again! 😉

    13. Oh those are good ones.

      Here’s mine:

      I let my kiddo watch an entire DVD of The Wiggles (he did really watch about 10 minutes of it, which is a lot for him).
