Well friends I just HAD to share this with you. I opened my inbox today and found this hilarious message sent to me from Michaela (familyroom girl extraordinare). This is definitely one to share. I have no idea where it comes from so am unable to give credit where credit is due. So, whoever put this together, if you stumble upon it here…we thank you for making us smile/laugh once again at the craziness of our lives as mum’s!
Enjoy.

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,
And 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–no Emailing.
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 A & E.
He must also
Make biscuits or cakes
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.
The men must
Shave their legs,
Wear makeup daily,
Adorn himself with jewellery,
Wear uncomfortable yet stylish shoes,
Keep fingernails polished
And eyebrows groomed.
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 attend
Weeklyschool meetings,
Church, and find time
At least once to spend the afternoon
At the park or a similar setting.
They will need to
Read a book to the kids
Each night and in the morning,
Feed them, dress them,
Brush their teeth and
Comb their hair by 8:00 am.
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 labour,
Each child’s favourite colour,
Middle name,
Favourite snack,
Favourite song,
Favourite drink,
Favourite toy,
Biggest fear and
What they want to be when they grow up.
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.
If the last man does win,
He can play the game over and over
And over again for the next 18-25 years
Eventually earning the right
To be called Mum!
After you get done laughing,
Send this to as many females as you
Think will get a laugh out of it and
As many men as you think can
Handle it!
Just don’t send it back to me…. I’m going to bed.
