How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

I Didn’t Want It To Happen…

in Everyday on 11/29/11

I never wanted…

To mix up a teeny hand held air freshener with breath spray. Perhaps the picture of a pine tree should have been a clue?

To ever have to try to eat anything like this. Meal Worm Salsa? Shiver.

disgusting

To ever admit to my 12 year old daughter that her grade 7 math is getting too difficult for me.

To send a powerful volt of electricity through my bod as I stepped out of a hot tub to do something really important; turn on the CD player.

To walk through a grocery store with spit up on my shirt, and baby poop on my pants. Fashionable.

To watch my Hubby break his big toe falling down getting out of the shower. Uh, cause I kicked him out of the shower, not in the “showering together” mood.

To ever confuse eyeliner with lip liner again.

To have a police officer knock on my door with a need to check my pool, and under my pool cover for a missing man. Gulp.

So the scary thing…all but ONE of these things are true! Meh, it happens. Can you guess which one is a fib?

      My guess is that you did not get an electric shock while stepping out of the hot tub.

      You definitely don’t live a boring life. 🙂

      Is it sad that I’m hoping the worm salsa is false over the possible missing man in your pool?? I don’t do werid food!

      I’m going way out on a limb and saying that you never had spit up and poop on you. Girl, you lead a crazy life with all these truths!

      Er, the lip liner / eyeliner mix-up? Really? If you had taken a picture of that, that would’ve been so blog-worthy. ;p

      Worm salaa?! I hope you didn’t… Shivers indeed!

      Thinking it’s the cop one that isn’t true…however when my daughter was a teen, another teen was angry at her and called the police and reported us for something or other and the cops showed up at my door asking for the adult. Ummmm, you’re looking at her LOL. I had been reported for abandoning children. Teens, we’re talking 16 and 17 are not “children” and no I did not abandon them. Ok…so which one wasn’t true?

      I think it is the salsa too. I always get caught up these days on my kids homework. So much harder than when I was in school. Ha! I love google for that.

      As crazy as the cop story sounds I’m also going to go with the meal worm salsa…

      I am going with the cop story… I bet they have that yucky meal worm salsa some place.. Maybe you did not have to eat it.. Yes, blogging and having little ones is hard..

We had such an amazing time we’re already planning our next adventure!
