Anyone here have the perfect life?
It would not be me.
My best friend of 50 years does.
She is never dirty. Gets her nails done and has a store bought hair-do. She's the perfect 10. She wears make up every day too. She's beautiful. Even without the makeup.
Even her junky clothes" look like my dress up clothes do. She even wears panty hose every day to work. Her boots have high heels!!!!!!!
Lives in a huge beautiful home on an acre in a ritzy suberb in Connecticut. Professionally landscaped.
Her home is so clean and perfect that you can eat off the floor. She's got marble and a chandellier in her formal dining room. Huh? What's that? Don't know how she does it. And where is her piles of dirty laundry? She just added on a 2000 square foot addition to the already humongous house. I call it the "West Wing." The furniture never looks like anyone sat in it. And she does have two pets in the house too. And they are perfect and clean. Mine have fleas and a skin condition.
She cooks up a storm every night. Her appliances all match and work. She's even got that ice cube maker thing on her refridgerator. I think she's a Martha Stewart clone.
She said she fell out of love with the Beach Boys since Brian went stupid. I remain a loyal follower.
She married her childhood sweetheart. He's the perfect husband and father too.
She has 4 perfect kids that all are doing wonderful in college. Her kids are so nice. Just like she and her husband is. She's worked the same high class job all her life. Been promoted a million times and wears suits. And her family is always so upbeat and happy.
They all have vehicles of this century.
They paid off their mortgage, have a nest egg, and a boat.
They have a time share in Florida plus they go on vacations and cruises, take in Broadway plays and get to shop in New York City.
Then there's me and my dysfunctional family.
I've never had my nails done unless I did them.
I have makeup though from Walmart. Three things: blush, green eye shadow, and eyeliner. I don't ever wear it because I can't find it. I think they boys used it for Halloween and didn't put it back.
No store bought hair-do here. It just kinda hangs straight and never seen a blow dryer or curling iron. I tried a curling iron ONCE. Burnt my forehead and said this is stupid. Threw it out.
I have barn sweats and then there's my "go to town dress up sweats."
I know the difference because my "go to town dress up sweats" don't have those elastics in the ankles.
There is no panty hose owned by me. But I have those grey socks from Walmart's men's department that come 6 in a package for $5.96. Now beat that deal.
My entire house is less than 1000 square feet. Every room needs to be remodeled before it caves in. Jerry is always under the house jacking it up to get the floors even. One time he over did it and it cause a big buldge in the living room wall. So I moved the china cabinet in front of it so you can't tell.
Everyone tracks in mud around here. My floors are always dirty and get mopped every single day. It doesn't help much. We go in and out a lot. I paint my living room every year. Makes me feel that it's cleaner somehow. I dust and scrub constantly. By the time I'm done with one room, the others already got messed up behind me. I have atleast 4 to 6 baskets of laundry in the living room to fold every night. There is always atleast 3 more baskets to wash in the laundry room and I have dishpan hands from all the dirty dishes every day piled up all over the counter. I cook dinner every night. I have a lot of help from Banquet Dinners too. I have to wash dishes with Brillo. My windows leak. My dogs broke the back door down again too. Need another one of those. My refridgerator talks in it's sleep and it's been leaking something ugly out the bottom of it. Jerry has to look at that sometime. My washing machine walks around. I've seen it do the watusi a couple of times. It's very talented. Sometimes it screams too. Like Michael Jackson on a bad day. It also eats socks. I always put in pairs of socks, but always get out an odd number.
My living room couch is 20 years old. It's very lumpy but last year I bought some slip covers for it. Jerry and I have our own reclyners. They are about 10 years old. Our butts have worn an imprint in the seats where they are kinda carved out just to fit our butt size. They have slip covers too. All my other furniture has scratches too.
My kids aren't perfect either. I was hopeing one would be a doctor and the other a lawyer. My dream. Not theirs. They are so funny and silly and don't do anything illegal but they still are always in trouble. One is going steady with three girls and is about to get busted and the other one brings me home D's on his report card all the time. There went college. He prefers to build engines and be a mechanic for his life long goal. He loves grease. They tell dirty jokes and know "whoop yer butt" if you mess with them too. Their idols are Sponge Bob and Jimmy Neutron. And they are how old??????
Don't know how many more years of mortgage we've got left. But it's there.
No nest egg here.
Nothing is perfect here.
Don't know why, but we're still basically happy.
It would not be me.

. It must be so happy to wash those 16 loads of clothes a day! :lol: Most of which are still waiting to be folded the next day so I never catch up in that dept.
