modern motherhood

an IM conversation with my husband.

me: hi
i got gloomy all of a sudden
basically because of my indecision about getting the kids rain boots
I am possibly insane
Michael: What is up with that?
me: I dunno
I always want thing to be cheaper than they are
also it is so rainy
Michael: How expensive are rain boots?
me: $17 at Target, up to $30 at like Lands End
doesn't that seem ridic?
Michael: Not to me.
me: I just did the quicken last night and we are low. as usual.
just so frustrating
Michael: Don't we have a pair to pass down to Dillo?
me: the next pair we have are size 11.
we had some 9s that were pink and I gave them away.
Michael: Oh
me: anyway. not anything worth stressing about.
maybe it's this weather.
Michael: Yes, I'm glad you realized this.
I think I had one pair of proper rain boots when I was a kid.
me: I know, It's not like it's a need.
only when I compare to happy catalog magazine world
Michael: Now if they are coming home with wet soggy shoes all the time. Then maybe it would be necessary.
me: where everyone's clothes are matching and their hair is brushed.
Michael: And their houses are clean.
me: and their houses are clean.
ha that was a total xpost.
Michael: Jinx
And their dogs don't shed
me: we don't have a god
dog
or a god either, really
Michael: and their cats don't get fleas
me: yeah.
and they use Clorox wipes
Michael: And their kids behave perfectly all the time
me: and BPA-free plastics
and wooden educational toys
and the kids laugh when they go down the big slide in chutes and ladders
Michael: and they eat organic food and drive Volvo station wagons
me: with no cheerios in the car seats
and they have fancy Britax car seats
Michael: No only organic cheerios
me: right, oatie-os.
I think this chat is going in my LJ
Michael: Yeah and Veggie Booty
me: that smells like feet.
