How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Revenge Takes Time

in Everyday on 05/04/10

teenagegirl2

There are moments when…

She melts down completely because she can’t find ANYTHING to wear in her closet full of clothes.

Shopping for new clothes is torture too.

She stomps her feet in anger, and has been known to slam a door in utter frustration.  Apparently there is just no better way to display her complete and utter discontent with the world.

She can not find anything good to eat in the cupboard or the fridge. She would rather just sulk and go hungry.

She whines when asked to hop in the shower, and then complains when told that 35 minutes is unreasonably long.  Time to get out.

She asks three times, no four, if she can please stay up later.  She is relentless. 

She has been known to clean her room by strategically stuffing her closet to the brim.

She is 11.

It’s scary, she is exactly like me.

I love her more then life itself.

She must be my Mother’s sweet sweet revenge.

      Oh what fun.

      My kids each have at least one of my worst qualities already and they’re all under 4.

      Maybe I should be glad that I only have boys since I was a terror as a teenager. So freaking moody.

      My mother in law is always saying the kids should be just like my husband. I don’t think that is fair since I was a “good” kid. LOL

      There is nothing like the mother-daughter relationship. The maddening and the incredible closeness.

      Or so I hear. I have two boys.

      This would be life with an eleven year old girl. Sigh. Why don’t we think about these years when we dream of babies?

      HA! My mother used to say this about me when I was younger. I’m sure if I have a daughter it will be just the same. 🙂

    Squee! It’s that time again — planning another #HomeExchange getaway!
Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!

Do you have a favourite town or lake in cottage country? Tell me!!

One annual membership fee + listing our home = unlimited swaps all year long. Affordable luxury travel for the win.
