How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Deep Thoughts from the Suburbs

in Uncategorized on

My child is 11 years old and it was 11:30 at night.  When I  went to check on her last night I did the lick your finger stick it under her nose to make sure she is still breathing thing.  Haven’t pulled that one out in a long time.

Presidents Choice Chocolate Chip cookies were on sale at the grocery store today.  We bought 3 bags.  These cookies never disappoint.  I guarantee their won’t be one cookie left by Wednesday.

I bought my 11 year old daughter a size Small shirt at American Eagle. It fit her perfectly.  She is a little gymnast with a six pack.  Suddenly don’t feel so bad about those size Larges I’m sporting. 

We went to a family wedding last weekend.  The couple were so in love and the ceremony was lovely.  Years ago you enjoyed a wedding if there was a free bar.  Now the sign of a good wedding is if the facility has good bathrooms, you can park fairly close to the hall so your killer heels don’t hurt your toes, and you can arrange a sitter who is skilled enough to get your kids to fall asleep BEFORE you get home.  Old much?

My kids know every word to “I Kissed a Girl and I Liked it”. Mmm  Is this a sign of bad parenting?

I’m going to go back outside to watch my kids act like monkeys on the climber and bake my brain in some more in the sun.  Clearly need that!

Hope you have a wonderfully random Monday!

Mwah!

 

Linky love.  CSN giveaway ends Friday.

    1. HA I notice the older I get the more I NEED to know where the bathrooms are located EVERYWHERE haha..

      I laugh because me and my 9 year old could share clothes in the next few years but I’m really sad that she will be moving out of kids sizes. 🙁

      BUT then again I’m so short I could probably wear kids clothes haha..

      And don’t feel bad my 9 year old knows lady Gaga.. haha..

    2. My four year old said the other day, “Step aside, Butch.”

      That’s a quote from Pulp Fiction, and film he hasn’t seen thank God.

      That would qualify me as the worst parent ever.

    3. Glad I’m not the only one who still occasionally checks to see if my child is breathing. I literally did that last week with my 13 year old. He has a cold and an ear infection…not malaria…and I have to make sure he’s breathing??? Oh well….it’s a mom thing I guess 🙂

    4. Love that they know the song–too funny. I will still occasionally stop in to their rooms as I head off to mine, just to check!

    7. Awesome cubby house, my boys would be so jealous. Im jealous its summer over there, its freezing here and I miss the warm days.

    8. You summed it right…it’s all about finding the time and knowing how to balance parenthood, passion and career. Some people ask me how do I find time to blog, cook, clean, volunteer, run errands for others, and be a mom of 3 kids. Sounds impossible but it can be done.

    9. City living = limited land space = small backyard. I wish I have a big backyard. My kids have been dying for either a swing set or mini play house. Not going to happen 🙁 I have a tiny weeny backyard.
