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?

      It’s sounds like you’ve had a rough day, week and maybe year. It’s amazing how we are able to get through so much without losing our cool, well most of the time.

      yea. No. I’ve never thought of that constantly like everyday of my motherhood life.

      Nope. Sorry can’t relate.

      (I’m just dreaming of fall break first!)

      I can relate to most of that, but thankfully, it hasn’t hit yet. I’m still basking (did I spell that right?) in the delight of the children being back at school. I’ve played some tennis, sat on the screened in porch, ahhhh… But reality is slowing creeping in. The car pools are increasing, and the “opportunities” to volunteer are beginning to happen.
      Oh well.
      EnJoy your weekend!

      YES! I feel like doing all of that – and sometimes am afraid I just might pack everyone and move out into a tiny town in the midwest someplace!

      You live in my house with my hubby and kids. I can so relate.

      Hey, I teach and I hate filling out those forms and the PTO pushy people.

    12. Danica says

      September 17, 2010 at 4:30 pm

      Oh my gosh I do. I’d love to get away! Even for just a day.

      HA! That telling hubby to do his own laundry never seems to WORK!!!!UGH

    14. Krystyn says

      September 17, 2010 at 3:01 pm

      Umm…yes, totally!

      And, how about asking for a refund from the doctor for the first visit when you have to go back for a second for the same reason. One can dream, right?

    15. Stacey says

      Oh yes. I would have loved to have handed the doctor a bill yesterday. I finally saw him for a total of 5 minutes a full hour AFTER my scheduled appointment.
