It’s Possible, Unlikely, But Possible
Happy New Year everybody!!
The Mouthy Housewives got together and after we’d sobered up, realized perhaps some changes might be beneficial. So, as our last post of the year, each one of us has put together a list of New Years resolutions that we have every intention of committing to until it just becomes too burdensome. Or Valentine’s Day, whichever comes first.
Marinka:
1. I resolve to find a way to get the dishes to jump into the dishwasher on their own. It’s easier than asking the kids to load it.
2. I resolve to petition the FDA to classify gin as a spice. Or as a health supplement.
Jessica:
1. I resolve to actually take a full quarter of the amount of time to eat my food as I did to ORDER it.
2. I resolve to never offer a date green M&M’s, then tell him I only did it because at recess, my friends said it will make him horny, and then wonder why he never calls me again.
Wendi:
1. I resolve to Swiffer naked at least once a month. You know, just to make it even more enjoyable.
2. I resolve to be nicer to all of the other mothers in my neighborhood. Except for Jeanne. She knows what she did, that spray-tanned tramp.
Heather:
1. I resolve to convert to green cleaning products so when I make the kids do all the cleaning, I don’t have to worry about nasty chemicals.
2. I resolve to invent a fat-free, organic bon bon. I’ll need something to snack on while I’m sitting on the couch watching the kids clean the house.
Kelcey:
1. I resolve to somehow accept that the characters on “Gossip Girl” are not my actual friends and, in fact, are 20 years younger than me.
2. I resolve to stop eating three dinners at night: one with the kids, one when my husband gets home, and one late night because the “Chelsea Lately” show is so much more entertaining with a cheese burrito.
Thanks again to all of you who take the time out of your day to come and visit us. Let this be a healthy and prosperous new year for all. And if for any reason you should have a problem in the new year, you know who to call.
Love,
The MouthyHousewives

Update: I am still fighting the good fight with the dishwasher. Results haven’t been great, but I’m not giving up!

Love it! My resolutions need to be more like yours, except for the kids…do you think I can get dogs and cats to clean?

Those sound like the type of resolutions I could actually handle!
