How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

This Weeks Confessions From The Suburbs

in Everyday on 02/23/10

Dear Romantic Hubby bought me a Chocolate covered candy apple as part of my Valentines Gift.  I promised I would share.  Apparently I lied.  Chocolately covered goodness is all gone.  Went out and replaced it with a second new Delicious Apple.  Shhh.  No one will ever know.

Did my new drivers license arrive in the mail yet?  Well yes, but I keep telling him “No”.  The picture is that horrible and I am that vain!  How did I start looking so much like my mother in just under 5 years?  Not there’s anything wrong with that, she is a stunning 65 year old gal!  Must invest some uber expensive face cream to combat the crows feet and check out that Jillian’s Shred.  Think if I went for some botox the Ministry of Transportation would give me a re-take?

Was secretly relieved when the sleep over / tubing birthday my SweetGirl was invited to was in direct conflict with BlueEyes Gymnastics meet.  She legitimately can’t go and now I don’t have to make up an excuse as to why she can’t sleep over at that bossy know it all full of attitude I can do everything better then you can do it little girls house.

Was so tired that I put lip liner where eyeliner is supposed to go.  Just one eye before I figured my mistake.  Red rouge..not the best look around green eyes.

Sitting cross legged on the floor while writing this post.  Had a HUGE sneeze…and a little bit of pee sneaked out.  Good grief. 

Can you beat that confession?

      Hahaha.

      I might be able to beat that one: I went all weekend thinking it was the day before whatever day it really was. Sunday (in my mind Saturday) my girlfriends came over. I was sitting with them on the couch eating Chocolate Chip cookies. I sat up and noticed something brownish on my couch and said “Ew I got Chocolate on the couch”. I cleaned it up and sat back down.

      I noticed 15 minutes later it had presented itself again. This time it was a darker -red- tint. I felt between the seat of my pants and sure enough, there was the answer to my mysterious reappearing stain. I ran like hell to the restroom yelling “I’m not supposed to start until Sunday!!” To which my girlfriends of course yelled after me “It IS Sunday!”

      *facepalm* I had to flip the cushions. Don’t even ask me how I didn’t notice I was bleeding so heavily through DENIM. I’m clueless sometimes, I swear.

      That’s what motherhood does to you…

      And my driving license picture sucks big time too. I look like I’ve just escaped from prison and am armed and dangerous.

      Those sneezes are the worst!!!

      Why can’t they just leave the old pic on. I was pregnant when I took my last picture. They guys said, “Oh, your stuck with this picture for a while and you pregnant!” Not nice.

      Don’t you love it when you can say no and not be the “bad guy”

      I hate sleep overs…

      I went 5 years without a valid driver’s license b/c my pic was so hot. So hot that I even had people ask me if it was me. Fockers!
      The one I have now: VISIBLE makeup line. yikes!

      Oh gawd! Those are the worst sneezes.

      And I have to go in for an eye test and new picture within this next month and I am dreading it.

      I always eat everything that I say I’m going to share with my husband. Hehe. And then he gets mad!

      Thanks to sneezing, laughing and any other type of excitement, I have a little bit of pee sneak out on a daily basis.

      Many thanks go out to my three beautiful children who have given me that sweet peeing gift.

      I hope you were wearing undies…

      That is all 😀

      hehe!!

      great confessions.. and don’t feel too bad over that whole lip liner thing.. i’ve sooooooo done THAT before, but at least you noticed after only one eye.. it took me doing both.. lol!!!

      February 24, 2010 at 12:12 am

      Can you beat that confession? I wouldn’t try. I am so not turning into my mother, nor do I eat candy that isn’t mine…and, really, how is it possible that I can slightly spill a glass of water down there in only one spot? Achoo.

    15. Frugal Vicki says

      Girl, you never let me down! I love your confessions, and no I can never top that!
