Sometimes the life of a Stay at Home Mom can get dull. Monotonous. Boring. Gray. Uninteresting. Oh, yeah and repetitive.
To liven things up a bit, I tend to sometimes engage in a little fantasy and self indulgent exaggeration.
“I’d be happy to reschedule my dental appointment, but since I’ll be on my book signing tour all of May….”
“Yes, Mr. President, I do understand the pressure you’re under, but you really have got to stop leaning on me like this.”
“No, worries, Dooce. It’s been a pleasure ghostwriting for you.”
“What am I going to do with it all? Gosh, where do I start??….I plan to give half of my winnings to charity, of course…”
“Houston, we’ve got a problem….but, thanks to this nail file and trusty bottle cap opener, I’ll have her fixed in a jiffy…”
“Well, Oprah, it all started with a little mommy blog back in ’08.”
“I’ll be in my trailer napping. Send my assistant when it’s time for my close-up.”
And, my favorite…
“I’m sorry, Mr. Clooney. I’ve been off the market for some time now….Besides, you know I never take back an ex.”

Lol - nice! FWIW, I have these fantasies, too. It's just that sometimes, they occur when I'm staring at the beige walls of my cubicle.
I see you might be in a Mommy rut as well. I've been here for a while. Sometimes it's like your living in the movie Groundhog's Day. Though I wouldn't change it for the world, I'm getting a little bored. Fantasies are a nice way to escape the day to day routines.
lol... Mine would read... "I'm sorry Mr. Moore (Shemar)... I don't take back... Well, I guess I can make an exception THIS time." ;)
lol thats some great self-talk!
If only...
Thanks for the fantasy!
LOL! Glad I'm not the only one who does this.
But next time you're chattin' up George, let him know that I do take back my ex's.
While I am not a SAHM, I do the same thing at work sometimes...
"Oh sure, hon...pan-seared shrimp for dinner will be fine...Uh-huh. I like Reisling... really? I didn't know the dishwasher had that setting...oh, I dodn't need my dry-cleaning until Friday. Remember? You're taking me to that restaurant? ..."
HA HA HA HA! I do that too! I have a sad SAHM life....I talk to myself all the time. Hmmmm...Maybe it's time I find some adults to talk to! LOL!!!!
That is so funny. I stay at home and hope some of that happens to me. Have a great Friday.
Awesome!!!
Loved every single truth spoken (wink)
You too? I thought I was the only one.
Ha! Glad it's not just me! I think there's fancy books out there that call that "living as if"!!
LOL they got funnier as they went on...if only!
LOL I like your fantasy moments much better than mine! Do you rent them by the hour???
You and I share the same fantasies! Sigh...Love your Mommy MacGyver moves with the nail file! lol!
FINE. I'll admit it...I've been on Oprah (in my head) about a hundred times :)
These were hilarious, of course!
Oh dear...I'm so beaten down by boredom I don't even have fantasies anymore!!

I have groundhog days. don't lose your dreams... its ok to reach for the stars while being home taking care of our treasures at home. :)
Love it.
You know Mr. Smith (Will), Mr. Washington, (Denzel) and Mr. Pitt (Brad) all got into a brawl over me once. Truly it was a tad embarrassing.
Winks & Smiles,
Wifey
