How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

And The Beat Goes On…

in Everyday on

Every time we stay in a hotel or take a vacation I leave something behind. Elastics, lip gloss, blackberry charger! Not sure what this says about me.

Every time I volunteer on a field trip I am assigned the “wild child”. Obviously because I am the cool collected Mama. Errr. Perhaps because I’m the only Mama who will take him?

Every time I go to a PTA meeting my theory that mean little girls grow up to be mean women is confirmed. Warning. Just because they are wearing pearls does not mean they will play fair.

Every time I tell myself I will never watch the Young and the Restless again. I do. It’s like a car crash. I can’t look away! I just can’t quit that dumb show until Nick and Sharon are back together!

Every time I swear I am going to take a break from the Chi Tea Lattes with a side of Ginger Molasses cookie….I cave. I am powerless against the yummy Starbucks goodness.

Every time I swear I will only read blogs for an hour, I fail. Stop writing such good stuff!!

Every time I think, this is the night I will be in bed by 11pm, I’m not. Yep, no good excuse for that. There are just not enough hours in the day.

Eeek. Redundant, repetitive, predictable, boring ?? Is this really what’s going on in my life in the Suburbs? Well I guess the flip side is….

Thanks to forgetfulness, I get to go shopping.

Teachers love that I watch the wild child for them so they can have a break!

The ridiculousness of the Y & R and PTA drama gives us all something to talk about over our Starbucks. All the extra sugar from the latté and cookie keeps me reading blogs for hours, and provides the much needed energy to keep going past 11pm. You know, so I can also do some responsible stuff like; look after my kids, interact with real people, do some grocery shopping and perhaps pay a little bit of attention to my Hubby. If he’s lucky.

Yes, the circle of my Suburban life goes on, and I’m lovin every minute of it.

    2. Very true. I think we all have things that we tell ourselves we’re going to do less of but then we get sucked back in. But theres nothing wrong with that Chi latte, sometimes we deserve an indulgence!

    3. I’m pretty sure I’d be one of those PTA moms that every other mom would be trying to get me thrown out of, but I don’t technically ever do anything “bad” just frowned upon unconventional things that would irk them to bits. Don’t know how you do it!

      Like my parents tried to be band boosters. But they started off every meeting with a prayer and my folks were atheists. They couldn’t do it. Ha.

      I’m redoing my blogroll and I took your button dear. Can we swap?

    5. And mean women raise mean girls…whenever there’s an obnoxious, pushy young girl…her obnoxious, pushy mom is not far away.

      It’s a shame. Little ones are so innocent and sweet if not shown how to be mean.

    8. I love this! What a positive take on things. It made me feel really good :). By the way – I totally agree. Mean girls do grow up to be mean women!!

    9. “Every time I go to a PTA meeting my theory that mean little girls grow up to be mean women is confirmed. Warning. Just because they are wearing pearls does not mean they will play fair.” SO VERY TRUE!!!!!!!!!!

    12. You said it girl The Young and the Restless. I watch that show too. I love it. I met Nick in real life and also have his autograph with his picture. I used to work at Planet Hollywood when I was in my early 20’s. That is where I met him at. Great place to work to meet alot of famous people. HAVE A NICE TUESDAY!!!

    13. I could have written this post. Just substtute The Real Housewives of NY for the Young and the Restless.

      Oh, abnd the PTA moms, talk about drama!!!

    14. Haha, I do the same thing when it comes to reading blogs. I’ll say I’m going to read until a certain time and then I’ll look at the clock and time has flown WAY by!
