Spare Me!!!

Thursday, May 1, 2008

I am sitting here watching Nancy Grace and the same commercial keeps coming on. It's the new Electrolux commercial with Kelly Ripa. Every time I see this commercial I want to throw my shoe at the tv. Her hair is perfect, her clothes are all designer, her children are neat and tidy and her home is immaculate. There's a segment when it shows her looking under the childrens beds for monsters. Okay, in my house, the only monster you find under the beds are the huge ass dust bunnies or the oodles of toys that have been shoved under there by a 4 year old doing his best to spend the least amount of time possible cleaning his room.

If the commercial were shot in my home, the counters would have clutter, the homemade banana splits would be half melted and the children would be covered in whipped cream and chocolate syrup. The dog would be doing all she could to jump into the lap of the children eating the banana splits. My hair would be half assed and I would have on some less than $20 Target or Old Navy t-shirt with my favorite pair of flip flops..NOT MINOLO HIGH HEELS.

Okay..so I feel better.
