The busy mom thing bothers me when anyone says it.

Susan Graver - "It's all about..." "It's all about building wardrobes", "It's all about the fabric", "It's all about the fit", "It's all about smoke and mirrors", "It's all about the color", "It's all about the print", "It's all about the embellishments". In addition (as BevG previously stated), "You can run over to a sink and spot clean with a little soap and water", "This is the piece you will wear over and over", as well as "I'm known in the business as Dotty Graver", "I started in the business as a pants designer", and the ever popular "I'm in liquid knit heaven." Not to mention how she used to design for stores like Bloomingdales and Nordstrom's, but QVC stole her away. Same thing show after show after show.

And we REALLY don't need to hear any more about how the Sleeping Beauty mine is closed, as a pressure tactic to make us snap up turquoise jewelry. There are other places in the world where similar looking good quality turquoise is mined.

If I didn't have a job and two dogs to take care of, I'd like to count the times that the hosts use the term "super"; e.g., super cute!

The "we're all SO busy" has to be at the top of my list. I was "busy" for 25 years when I worked, and I no longer AM busy, WANT to be busy, or WILL BE busy! I swear sometimes I think most people believe if they just can fill every single hour of every single day with something, the won't have to cope with their real lives. It's almost like they are afraid to have quiet time alone to really reflect on themselves and their lives.

This^^....I think women use the term "busy" cause it makes them sound important, or that their life is so interesting and exciting...but I have always thought this also, that they can't deal with real life so they have to stay constantly busy doing something, anything...I am a stay at home mom, and yes, I have days that are busy, but mostly I have a lot of free time, kids are in school from 8:30-4...I don't need to fill up my time with a need to be" busy," nor do I cart my kids to every activity so they can also be busy...they have their activities, but we don't run around crazy every afternoon....

Where do your kids go to school? That's amazing! We get out at 2:00.

Where I live the school times are staggered and get out anywhere between 2-4:00.

Re: What words or phrases do you get sooo sick of hearing? ""Busy Mom""

This is a very ""monied"" (not sure of spelling) look.

When I buy clothes I never purchase because it looks as if I spent a lot of money. I look for what appeals to my sense of style.
