How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

This Weeks Confessions From The Suburbs

in Everyday, Family, Travel on 03/30/12

I have a blemish, no a zit, in the middle of my chin and am embarrassed as hell about it.  Zits should not happen to 40 year olds!

I currently feel anxious, angry and stressed.  Why?  Not because there is a single thing wrong in my life, but because little girls are mean.  Sigh.  Raising girls is hard.

I’m not bubble wrap Mom (I swear) but I am starting to think Home School Mamas may be some of the smartest women out there.

While I’m complaining, I‘m tired of nagging my Sweetgirl to practice the piano.   Oh and clean her room, brush her teeth and put her dishes away!  Is this my job?  Yes, I guess it is. 

Apparently it is also my job to wash the floor the dog vomited on.  Yuck. 

My coffee addiction is getting worse.  That’s okay though, right?  Perhaps I can counter it by adding an addiction to Baileys. 

I’m pretty sure I have become somewhat spoiled.   It’s been less then a year since I had the vacation of a lifetime.  A trip here…

Now I’m dreaming of going here……

      Of COURSE you have to go to Italy. You deserve it! Leave all your woes behind and sip chianti.
