h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm so tired of being criticised.

Please don't tell me anymore that
I need to lose weight

I should be prettier -
wear more makeup
get fancier clothes
get rid of the ugly glasses on my nose

Excercise more

I know I'm overweight. But I'm not that bad - five kilo's would be fine.
And I am, slowly, losing weight. Maybe a kilo a year, but I'm losing.

I wear makeup. But I wish to look professional at work, not like a hooker.

I have bought clothes lately, but it required that I tell you firmly to be the driver of the kids and me (weekends are busy, didn't you notice?) so that I could spend two hours shopping.

I need more time to find glasses. One of these days, you could come home early, and pick up the kid at school.

And likewise for excercise... relieve me of home duty one day a week, and I might make it.
But when children are brought home, fed and homework supervised, it's bedtime for them, and by nine it's finished. At that time I'm too tired to run three miles. Or even three kilometers.
