How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

This Weeks. . . . . . . . . Confessions From Suburbia

in Everyday on 06/11/09


I went out to the drug store today and didn’t wear a bra.

I threw out a Tupperware full of moldy pizza sauce instead of washing it because the rancid goop made me gag.

I was pretty sure that flattened box of Cheerios blowing down the street on recycling day was mine but I didn’t chase it.

I did not give at the office. I’m just not giving to you. You are the third charity to knock on my door in just under two weeks and clearly I’m just not that nice.

I let my child wear two different socks to school today. Hey they were both white. At this point that counts as a match!

I used the TV as a babysitter. I let the girls watch an extra half hour of TV so I could talk on the phone without interruption.

I’m not going on the field trip because I just don’t want to. I’ve been on the same field trip twice now and I’m tired. Bad bad Mommy.

I made good use of my favorite phone feature…call screen. Good luck getting through.

I faked it…….
passed off store bought cookies as homemade. What? Did you think I meant something else?

Yep this is me, just trying to survive life here in the suburbs.

      LOL…I could never do the no bra thing, my girls are just too big to get away with that! And I love the Cheerio box one too, I’ve done that before.

      Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting =)

      I’ve definitely thrown my share of tupperware away and I might have used Baby Einsteins to occupy the dude while I worked on some posts. Guess that’s just life in the ‘burbs huh?

Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!
