How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Running Away

in Everyday on

Do you ever feel like …

-telling the school you flat out refuse to fill out the same field trip information form 6 times a year.  They should keep a damn copy.

-packing up every single thing that is in your kids closet and giving it away because the mess is too overwhelming.

-presenting the Doctor with a bill after your visit.  For the hour of your time they just wasted in the waiting room.  Isn’t my time as valuable as theirs?  

-telling your Hubby he can do his own damn laundry. Oh wait I already did that one.

-feeding your kids popcorn for diner because you are too tired to go to the grocery store.

-unplugging every phone and computer in the house so no one can track you down.

-telling that super pushy PTA women to Shut Uppa her face.

Do you ever feel like just packing it all in and running away? Grabbing the kids and the Hubby and escaping to some deserted island.  Yeah, me neither, cause that wouldn’t be normal.  Sigh.  Is it Christmas Vacation yet?

    4. Yes!

      When I lived in Las Vegas, I used to pick up and go to a cheap hotel/casino for a night when I got to feeling this way. I could usually get a pretty nice place for just $20 or $30. It was awesome! And I didn’t even have a dog or boyfriend or anyone depending on me at that time! Did I mention it was AWESOME?

    5. Packing it all in and running away? Definitely. Grabbing Hubby and child to do so? Not so much – particularly they are currently the reason I’m running away. 😉

    6. I have always done my own laundry, but I agree with you on much of the other stuff. Popcorn, a bowl of cereal, a can of spaghettios….when you’re too tired to cook or shop, it’s anything goes for dinner.

    9. I feel that way sometimes too. I completely understand.

      On the feild trip thing, maybe you should be a total smartalec and make a dozen copies and give them that many at one time so they don’t have to worry about losing one.
