Excellent post
There’s something about people swearing that don’t normally that makes me grin right across my face
Ah, Jonathan. I curse like a sailor.
I graduated high school in ‘91 and I think my greatest aspiration was to find a job that would allow me to wear jeans and stilettos…thanks ZZ Top. Now, I just want a job that allows me to type while breastfeeding and return calls with Jojo’s Circus blaring wildly in the background.
It’s good to always have a goal.
I’m all about the lowered expectations. It just makes my life so much easier.
Har! I have the same goal. Also, will the laundry ever stop multiplying in the basket? IT NEVER ENDS!
Oh Lord, that is funny!
If you find one, let us know.
Oh, sweet Jesus. I think I just woke up a napping Smooch with my raucous laughter. At least you have a goal.

Succinct and telling – thanks for the laugh.
Isn’t it amazing how much garbage a grown woman and a baby or two can produce? We have the same issue.
Am laughing … this is great! My fantasy can also has to be dogproof.

Not to be a pollyanna or anything, but you could look at this in a Buddhist way… you’re getting closer to breathing. Chop wood, carry water.
I know, I know… the hardest part of mothering is the delay or shattering of our personal dreams.
