The Next Survivor Series

This was too funny, I just HAD to share...

The next survivor series:

Six married men will be dropped on an island with one car and 3 kids
each for six weeks. Each kid will play two sports and either take music or dance
classes. There is no fast food.

Each man must take care of his 3 kids; keep his assigned house clean,
correct all homework, complete science projects, cook, do laundry,
and pay a list of 'pretend' bills with not enough money. In
addition, each man will have to budget in money for groceries each
week.

Each man must remember the birthdays of all their friends and
relatives, and send cards out on time.

Each man must also take each child to a doctor's appointment, a
dentist appointment and a haircut appointment. He must make one
unscheduled and inconvenient visit per child to the Urgent Care
(weekend, evening, on a holiday or right when they're about to leave
for vacation). He must also make cookies or cupcakes for a social
function.

Each man will be responsible for decorating his own assigned house,
planting flowers outside and keeping it presentable at all times.
The men will only have access to television when the kids are asleep
and all chores are done.

Each father will be required to know all of the words to every stupid
song that comes on TV and the name of each and every character on
cartoons.

Each man will have to make an Indian hut model with six toothpicks, a
tortilla and one marker; and get a 4 year old to eat a serving of
peas.

Each man must adorn himself with jewelry, wear comfortable yet
stylish shoes, keep their nails polished and eyebrows groomed. The
men must try to get through each day without snot, spit-up or barf on
their clothing.

During one of the six weeks, the men will have to endure severe
abdominal cramps, back aches, and have extreme unexplained mood
swings but never once complain or slow down from other duties. They must try
to explain what a tampon is for when the 6 yr. old boy finds it in the purse.

They must attend weekly school meetings, church, and find time at
least once to spend the afternoon at the park or a similar setting.
He will need to read a book to the children each night without
falling asleep, and then feed them, dress them, brush their teeth and
comb their hair each morning by 7 a.m. They must leave the home
with no food on their face or clothes.

A test will be given at the end of the six weeks, and each father
will be required to know all of the following information: each
child's birthday, height, weight, shoe size, clothes size and
doctor's name. Also, the child's weight at birth, length, time of
birth, and length of labor, each child's middle name, favorite:
color, snack, song, drink, toy, biggest fear and what they want to be
when they grow up.

They must clean up after their sick children at 2 a.m. and then spend
the remainder of the day tending to that child and waiting on them
hand and foot until they are better. They must have a loving, age
appropriate reply to, 'You're not the boss of me'.

The kids vote them off the island based on performance. The last
man wins only if...he still has enough energy to be intimate with his
spouse at a moment's notice.

Sounds like a great series to me!

Lazy Mom Tip #12

Alrighty everyone... hold on to your computer chairs! Today's lazy mom tip is QUITE possibly the GREATEST. TIP. EVER!!!!

I can't believe I haven't shared this one with you earlier. It is sooooo good! How could I have neglected it until now? Are you ready? Really ready? Really, really ready?? Okay! Here it goes...

In my bag I carry this little guy...It's a game called LCR - Left, Center, Right. It is a SUPER easy game. Easy enough for my three year old daughter to play. Which is WHY I keep one in my bag at. all. times. Whenever Lazy Dad and I are at a restaurant with the kiddos and the coloring place mats have expired in excitement, but the food has YET to arrive, we whip out LCR. The kids love it, it's small enough to keep in my bag, it doesn't take forever to play and MOST importantly it provides entertainment when we need it most! PLUS, an added benefit, Lazy Dad and I actually ENJOY playing it, too!

Our "keep-the-kids-busy-while-we-are-waiting" game has been such a great hit we also purchased this little buddy on our most recent trip to Wisconsin:
It's a pocket size version of Farkel. Which is pretty similar to Yahtzee. We are saving Farkel for a day when the kids are tired of LCR. That day hasn't come yet, but we are prepared for when it does!
If neither of these games suit your fancy there are lots of small games out these days. I saw tons of them by the card game area in Walmart.

Side Note: This game isn't just for lazy moms and dads trying to entertain rambunctious kids in restaurants or other public places where you have to wait for an ungodly amount of time. It's also great to entertain a group of adults! In fact, Lazy Dad and I just played it with another couple when we showed up early to a Minister's Dinner and were waiting for others to arrive!

So there you have it. Isn't that a good one? Come on! You know you wish you had thought of it sooner! Leave me a comment and tell me how wonderful and creative I am... help a lazy mom out!
