Life in the Burbs is not always the quiet, boring, meek and mild place you might think it is. Behind those closed doors, decorated with their fancy door knockers, real drama, real life is going on.
I may not look like one of the Desperate Housewives, can’t afford the personal trainer and fake boobs but if you weave the tales together of my friends and acquaintances, you could at least come up with a plot that matches up to any good soap.
Down the street a new house has come up for sale. The gorgeous Mama that lives there has her 4th baby going off to college. She kicked her cheating Hubby out and is moving in with her new female partner. You go girl!
Around the corner, not so sweet 11 year old girl is having a birthday party this week. She invited everyone in the 5th grade…except one girl. Thank goodness it wasn’t my girl, but who does that? What kind of parent allows this? Mean girls suck. Oh and PS. They grow up to be mean women!
Down the street our beautiful life long friends have been waiting for the phone call that may change their lives forever. These two giving, smart, loving people have been on the ride of their lives. For more then a year, they have been riding a rollercoaster of emotions. High hopes, incredible excitement, crushing disappointments. They are adopting. Now it looks like “the” call they have been waiting for has come!! I can not imagine the sweet agony of this waiting game they have been playing! Fingers crossed, prayers and positive vibes. Hoping this is the little baby that is meant to complete them.
Inappropriate Mom, you know the Mom that wears snakeskin boots, minis and tank tops to school pick up, switched Hubby’s with her girlfriend? For reals!
BFF came over and showed me her new boobs. Yep, I touched em.
Yes, as it turns out, except for the whole murderer on the loose thing, those Desperate housewives haven’t got anything on what happens here in the Burbs.

Glad there is no murderer. But maybe you just don’t know. LOL. (really)!! Your blog seems cool!! Glad I found it on the D-list!
It almost makes you feel too boring to live in a neighborhood like that, huh?
I’ve got the neighbors that are both RN’s and get drunk at parties and give themselves IVs to sober up. Next door to them are parents of a con that got out of prison on parole long enough to knock up someone else…. the baby and the momma are living at their house.
Next are a ridiculously religious family that are just… weird.
Next to that is the alcoholic wife that isn’t outside without a glass in her hand. I remember an episode of DHW where they lined Bree’s porch w/all her bottles… that could very well be this woman. She screams at her daughters and likes to bleach her hair so much that it looks like the shade Dolly Parton goes for.
Next to her is an average family.. hubs, wife and 2 daughters.
BUT next to them is a single woman… with a daughter that is going into 5th grade taht she won’t let play outside with anyone. If yo umeet her on the street she’ll introduce herself as Dr. ____- ____ and say “I’m the unsociable neighbor” (which she is).
Then is the “super mom” that is so ridiculously trendy… her boys have to have their hair done and be in Polo shirts and Tommy shorts…
Next to them is a family from London that is divorcing… not sure what all is going on there b/c they’ve only lived there about 8 months..
seriously… it’s bizarre this street.. we’re totally boring…
which is good… because I do NOT do drama!
First of all, you’re totally hot enough to be on Desperate Housewives, and secondly, I want to move to your neighbourhood! Sounds… downright naughty.. and fun! 😉
