Can You Fill My Mom Shoes? Please?

Have you heard about the awesome Ketchup With Us writing prompts that Mel and Michelle offer up on the 1st and 15th of each month? Well I’m about to school you! Hmmm, maybe that was unnecessarily aggressive. Okay, I’ll soften that up a bit by sharing some of the hilarity and hi jinx that goes on with these two.

‘KETCHUP WITH US’ – PROMPT #13

In 57 words or less, tell us whose shoes you would

like to walk in for a day.

Whose shoes would I like to walk in for a day? I could get all historical and say Madame Curie, but wait, she died from radiation poisoning. Ack.

I could go all movie star and say Jennifer Lawrence. Heck, I would even be willing to fall in her shoes on a normal day, but my knee has been rather wanky lately and I’m afraid I might not be able to get up.

My teenage daughter is pretty fabulous but whoever sang “I want to be forever young” was an idiot because being an adolescent is hard. Don’t need to personally walk that path again; it’s rough enough hiking it vicariously through her.

You know who I really want to pick? Someone to walk in MY shoes for a day! So without further ado . . .

Wanted: Someone To Fill My Mom Shoes For a Day

Required qualifications:

Must be able to cook, correct homework and HTML code, clean cat puke, and email coaches simultaneously while looking sexy and fit.

Must be able to maintain clean laundry for a family of four (and the phantom family of five that MUST be living in the basement to dirty that many towels).

Must be able to chauffeur while simultaneously soothing a broken heart and remembering to pick up the milk. In fact, teleportation skills would be handy.

Most importantly, must have ovaries of steel to allow her heart  to walk out the door into the wide world each and every morning.

Bonus: No pay!

Hit me up on Facebook if you want the job. -Ellen

    I laughed out loud at the phantom family of five you have. I have one of those, too. Dishes, laundry and more dishes. I have looked in the bathroom downstairs, the storage closet and now I’m convinced they are hiding in the crawl space under the house.

    Your visual is PERFECTION! I have brown “fugly” boots as well. I love them and they are SOOOO comfy. But the heels are HOT! 🙂 You go, girl.

    Thanks for linking up. We love it when you do!!

    P.S. Thank you for helping to celebrate my “Dork Debut” by posting it in the post. But those heels were AWESOME. One day…:)

      I am not just saying this, but you looked so totally hot, it was ridiculous especially considering you were wearing a ketchup bottle. You must send out moonbeams when you really gussy up. Ellen

    I can barely walk in heels, so you are on your own. Long ago, I bought towels in different colours and assigned a colour to each child. The fear of using someone else’s towel removed, all of a sudden, towels were manageable again. They were hung up after being used, too (because I’d know who hadn’t).

    No, Ellen. Wrong again, Ellen. We are a family of FOUR. Duh, not FIVE. And, if you’re pissed about our excessive towel usage, you should have just said something to us personally … not put it out there for the whole world to see. It’s not like we ask for anything else. Like sunlight.

    We’ll be out in a week. Maybe two.

    But seriously though …

    We love your posts. Please keep linking up. Or I will be forced to be a pain in the ass and stalk you on your blog with all kinds of OTHER comments that ALSO don’t make a lot of sense.

    I find I fill some very similar shoes… the boots are almost identical, my uggs are pink, so most definitely not even going to the mailbox and my sneakers are much newer looking cause they don’t often see the light of day… but the idea of trading my two preschoolers for a teenager is enough to make my blood run cold, I have not built up the sang froid for that challenge yet, my dear!
    on a completely unrelated note, would you and Erin come over and give me an opinion on something, please:
