How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Running Away

in Everyday on 09/16/10

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?

      Right there with ya sister. If it weren’t for the crock pot, the microwave and the pizza pizzzae thingy I don’t think my family would have eaten at all this week.
      Mom is MIA till school is over, because she has been replaced by the way too damned tired to give a crap whether you people eat healthy or not college student.

      Love the blog… you make me laugh.

      I feel like this almost every day of my life! That doesn’t say much about me does it?

      OK, I can relate to this post. A little too much. What’s wrong with popcorn for dinner anyway?

      And, I’m embarrassed to say, I’ve actually threatened to bill DR offices for my time when they keep me waiting repeatedly. Whoops.

      Uht oh, and it’s only mid-September! Christmas break will come soon enough. And those doctor’s office waits? The worst. Especially when you have kids with you.
