How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

This Weeks Confessions From The Suburbs

in Everyday on 03/07/13

Sometimes in life there are just some things you need to get off your chest.  It’s good for the soul, for the heart, maybe even for your sanity?  Here is my list of confessions from the Suburbs.   

* I am exhausted, but I just can’t sleep.

* I wore the same pair of socks two days in a row.

* When I locked my car door in the grocery store parking lot yesterday I scared a couple of old ladies with the loud “beep beep” that damn alarm thing makes.  I immediately apologized for startling them, but as I walked away, I might have giggled just a little. 

* I had cookies for lunch yesterday.  They were good.

* I got misty eyed when I dropped a piece of turkey on the floor and had to pick it up.  I haven’t had to pick little scraps of food off the floor for more then 12 years; I miss my sweet dog.

* More cookies.  Emotional eater much?

* Got checked out at the Tim Horton’s by a man with hair more grey than black.  I was wearing my glasses at the time.  Suddenly not hating my glasses as much or the fact that apparently I now rock the senior citizen demographic.  Related; I am old.

Sigh…that’s a little better.  Go on now, fess up, what do you need to confess this week?

      Aw, loved this. Post inspiration! Um, at the grocery store I bought a bag of chips and hid them from my children so I can eat them after they’re asleep!

      It’s refreshing to get things off your chest isn’t it? Have a great weekend.

      Silver fox or not – you still got checked out! Rock the fact you still got it! 😉

      And there is nothing wrong with cookies for lunch.. or anytime of the day. I stand by that fact.

      (P.S. – you are NOT old)

      I am old too! I don’t know what happened, I just woke up and bam, old!

      I am so sorry about your dog, you’re gonna make me cry. My dog is only 4 so he thankfully still has a long life ahead of him.

      As always, you make me laugh. I confess that this week in my “super mom” moments I may have dropped the f-bomb once or twice #keepingitreal

      Maybe he is just one of those men who goes grey early in life … regardless he still checked you out … score for you!

      Old? Hardly! You are gorgeous, and that old man knew it. 🙂 And I love having cookies for lunch, or even breakfast and dinner all in the same day. I know how hard it is to always miss our sweet puppy dogs…they are best. xo
