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 musttake 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 Urgent Care.
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.
The men must shave their legs, wear makeup daily, adorn himself with jewelry, 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 weekly school meetings, 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 7:00 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 labor,
each child's favorite color,
middle name,
favorite snack,
favorite song,
favorite drink,
favorite 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 Mother!
The princess received the STAR treatment for her birthday this year. She was picked up after school by a limo and then she and 6 friends cruised out to the mall where they got to stick their heads out the window and scream and holler! After an hour of cruising, they came back to our house for cake and presents. Cool sunglasses were a must and posing as we exited the limo was also expected! This was the best party ever!
It's a winter wonderland! Very A-typical of this part of the country at this time of year!
The princess has Corrine.
Happy Birthday to Uncle Marty (pictured on the right) on the 14th. He's the queen's sister's husband, although he LOOKS like the king's brother--if the king had a brother, that is. 
It's been 2 1/2 weeks since "THE INJURY". The prince's finger doesn't look like this anymore--thank goodness. He does therapy 4-6 times a day and can now bend it all the way and straighten it all the way with very little pain. It's still quite swollen, and the therapist says it could stay that way for up to 9 months! P.E.: It's not for sissies!
