The Next Survivor Series

I'm sure this is old, but I never read forwards so it was new to me. I got this forward from my sister-n-law and thought it was worth posting for everyone to get a laugh today. 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, 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.

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 (weekend, evening, on a holiday or right when they 're about to
leave for vacation). 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.

Each father will be required to know all of the
words to every stupid song that comes on TV and the name of each and
every character on cartoons.

Each man will have to make
an Indian hut model with six toothpicks, a tortilla and one marker;
and get a 4 year old to eat a serving of peas.

Each man must adorn himself
with jewelry, wear uncomfortable yet stylish shoes, keep their nails
polished and eyebrows groomed. The men must try to get through each
day without snot, spit-up or barf on their clothing.

During one of the six weeks
(maybe even TWO), 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 try to explain what
a tampon is for when the 6-yr old boy finds it.

They must attend weekly
school meetings, church, and find time at least once to spend the
afternoon at the park or a similar setting.

He will need to read a book
to the children each night without falling asleep, and then feed them,
dress them, brush their teeth and comb their hair each morning by 7:00
. They must leave the home with no food on their face or
clothes.

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.

They must clean up after their sick children at 2:00
a.m. and then spend the remainder of the day tending to that child and
waiting on them hand and foot until they are better.

They must have a loving, age
appropriate reply to, "You're not the boss of
me."

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.

I loved that email you sent. It was to funny. I sent that to Jon and of course he said bring it on. How are you hanging in with Tad so busy? I am so proud that you have posted again. I love your new blog. The music is great.

I hope that your feeling better and the boys are on the mend. I use those plugs, but I left one in way to long and it did not smell so good. I will call you soon.
