Re-Runs and Leftovers: Go Ask Alice

I don't know if my kids really think it would be fun or if they're trying to tell me I'm a crappy parent, but they want me to call Super Nanny. I mean, hello? Have you seen some of the parents on that show??? The kids are obviously NOT the problem. Me? I don't mind if Super Nanny comes by but I don't want her to fix my kids or teach me how to parent. No, I would much prefer she just be the stinkin' nanny and not the family shrink. Thanks for stopping by - the playroom's thataway. No I DON'T want you to observe and I'm not interested in a DVD of my failures. Just go make a craft and teach my kids a new game. Sheesh.

You know what I'd really like?? I'd like a freakin MAID. Seriously. Someone to come clean up after all of these people in this house that seem to think I ENJOY picking up their dirty underwear and scraping their dried on food off of their plates. And what in the Sam Hill is the deal with all of these freaking PILES everywhere? Do we have to have something piled on EVERY surface??? Oh! Oh!! Can I PLEASE vacuum three times today?? YAY! What? No one has folded laundry in a WEEK?? BLISS! I can hardly stand to wait to get started. Oops...uh oh..guess what? I just wet myelf in anticipation of another day filled with cleaning the house. *sigh*

A personal chef would be nice, too. I mean, I just burnt the keyrap out of my hand last night so I could stand to use some help in the kitchen. I was draining the macaroni and managed to pour the water all over my left index finger, effectively COOKING it. Yeah. It's well done. Blisters, discoloration, pain. Go me. And, well, PLUS if we had a chef then maybe I wouldn't get so personally offended when people didn't eat the dinner I put time and effort and LOVE into planning and preparing. Or I wouldn't be crushed when they didn't like it. I could be all, "Damn it...cook will NOT be getting a bonus this quarter if the food doesn't improve."

In conclusion - I either need Alice from the Brady Bunch, or a wife.

Imma go with Alice on this one.

Alice could do it all. I wish she really existed. I would totally get me an Alice. I loved that show.

Oh yea, go with Alice...wives can be b**chy. I kicked hubs dirty clothes under the bed for 2 weeks before he noticed his clothes supply was dwindling...

Life with Kaishon said...

Such a funny, funny post :) Love it. Laughed out loud. The saddest thing of all is that Kaishon always asks me to call her too : ) I would be terrified to see all my mistakes on television : ). I am sure the number one thing she would say would be, "Blog less" : )

Personally I would rather have Nancy from Pollyanna! My mom's favorite joke when I was a kid was "Do you think Nancy lives here?" (My mom isn't very funny.)

Do you have your kids do chores? Or does that just end up being another chore for you to GET them to do chores? I used to have a chore list for my boys. Before they could go to a friend's house, go outside, turn on the TV, etc., they had chores they had to do each day. Maybe you could get some help with those dishes and clothes! ;-)

As I am thinking about how we are starting another week and tomorrow is Monday I so wish I had a nanny. a maid and a chef. Ugh! Everyday should be a weekend day.

As a kid I had a wicked crush on the mom and Alice...I have always had a thing for older women...babes-a-licious! Man, they just dont make good shows like the brady bunch anymore.

webberpa said...

Yeah, nothin ticks me off more than to do all the damn cookin, cutting up the ingredients, and whatnot and have them NOT like it. That gets my goat.

Emily said...
