How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Hey, It’s OKAY Tuesday

in Uncategorized on

It’s been one of those weeks where I’ve felt like a bit of a less than average Mama.  I’m not Martha Stewart, I’m certainly not heading up the Brady Bunch or the Partridge Family over here, but I am doing my best.  So when I saw a post over at Airing My Dirty Laundry, One Post At A Time inviting me to link up and relax, yell out that “It’s OKAY!!”  I knew I just had to play along!  So without further ado…it’s OKAY…

~That my kiddos will be eating leftovers tonight, hey, it means they had a decent meal last night.

~To be enjoying my salad and pretending it’s healthy even though it’s slathered in dressing, rich cheese and nuts.

~ To be ready for the weekend already, even though it’s only Tuesday.

~ To be missing Mother’s Day with my Mama so I can go to the Disney Social Media Mom’s Conference with my family at DisneyWorld.  I promise to make it up to you Mom!

~ To forgive myself for forgetting the cat’s birthday.

He’s a cat.  I’m sure he was okay with getting his Birthday gift a day late.   It’s my SweetGirl who was less than impressed with the over sight but hey, she has a calendar too!

~ To be a little bit proud that my Great Dane pup is thriving and weighs over 110 lbs now.  I wish it was cool to be impressed every time I put on a few extra pounds.

~To be just fine with my girls wearing mismatched socks.  If they are clean, that’s now good enough for me.

~ To quietly nibble on some Purdy’s chocolate tonight after the kids go to bed, I mean, I ate salad for lunch.

Oh that does feel good, it really is okay.

    2. Oh my what a pretty cat. Hey, a salad is still a salad, even if we dress it up (ok a lot!) slightly 😉

    5. I enjoy your post almost as much as I enjoy Purdys after a salad as well <3 Great read! Thanks for sharing.

    6. Great post, you are doing a great job! Did you know “stressed” spelled backwards spells “desserts”?

    7. Great post, it has been one of those weeks here too so I guess It Is Okay! And the week is almost over right?

    8. I got a few chuckles out of your post! All in all, it really was a good day, ending with chocolate! cute kitty!

    10. It’s okay that I skipped dinner all together tonight and went straight for the ice cream. Sometimes you just need ice cream.

    11. It’s OK that I didn’t run today. I will run today with my son and he will LOVE when I go fast! 🙂

    12. I am SOOOOO with you on being ready for Friday! I know I shouldn’t wish my life away…but some weeks are just unbearable!

    13. Your cat is so pretty!

      Ooo Disney World. I don’t think anyone would be upset that you’re there.

      I love salads like the ones you described. McAlister’s deli has a bunch of tasty ones that I pig out on.

    14. we all have them kinda days , i know i do , but at the end of the day i am happy for a great family and my Fur Babies , they are always there when your down and out , ad make me feel better …….
      Hugs to you 🙂
