ErikaRobin's Journal

Delusions of grandeur.

Don't get me wrong.  I know that there are ladies out there who can and DO embrace their Suzy Homemaker side.  They delight their families with culinary feats that leave them impressed and satisfied.  They do things like the wacky actors on the Swiffer commercials (dusting, they call it) and look happy while they do it.  I know there are ladies out there who do more than plug the iron in...they actually USE it!  There are those whose piles of dirty dishes are NOT their nemesis. 

I, however, am not one of them.  

I want my own SweetPeas. 

We have SweetPeas serving up a batch of southern hospitality:

baking...but where is the "Crap! I Burned The Cookies" SweetPea?

We have the Obsessive/Compulsive SweetPea sweeping the same spot for an eternity (and IT'S STILL NOT CLEAN ENOUGH)

sweeping...but where is the Lounging SweetPea with evil dust bunnies peering out from under the couch?

We have seen the Medicated Dish-washing Sweetpea who is only too happy to wash the same dish over and over and never shows any sign of discouragement that her stack remains ever the same. 
washing dishes Now where, I ask you, is the Paper Plate Grabbing SweetPea or the It's Take-Out Night SweetPea?

I'd settle for a few of the same SweetPeas that at least look like they're grumbling or scowling as they perform these tasks. 

I think the only way I'd ever wash dishes with that "pleased as punch" look on my face would be if I coupled it...
with this:margarita time and/or this:
nurse 

Hell, then I might even SING.

 

 

Just sayin'.

 

CLICK ME!  You'll be glad you did.
