After reading a post I stumbled across from another blog, I thought it would be nice to follow suit.
I want to help others, but I do not want to be misunderstood.
I am not perfect, and while I may strive for perfection, I realize that I am far from it.
I would like you to know just how human I am….
1. I encourage my children to be independent so that I do not have to get off my lazy bottom.
2. I try to justify this and say that it is healthy for them to learn to be independent and even resort to using expert names to support this (like Montessori).
3. I skip bath nights when I get sucked into the tv.
4. I usually take the trash out when I hear the trash truck outside. (I have missed him a few times)
5. I should be taking the trash outside right now.
6. I rarely make phone calls.
7. I doubt.
8. I still believe.
9. I tell myself I am not going to get on the computer for a day/week/month, but am usually on the computer in an hour or two.
10. When I clean the house, I always start in the room that is the closest to clean so that I can feel a sense of accomplishment.
11. The room I start cleaning is also often the only room I get to that day.
12. Often, I will leave dirty dishes in the sink, but I will be so thorough that I will clean the baseboards in the room I did get clean.
13. I plan and buy foods using a budget and schedule, but almost never prepare the foods according to the schedule.
14. I also create a schedule for my day, but almost never follow the schedule.
15. I convince myself every night that I will be better about following the schedule tomorrow.
16. I want to have a green thumb, and have gotten plants to grow, but I kill them before they produce fruit/vegetables.
17. I try to blame my lack of green thumb on the horrible heat here.
18. I continue to try to have a green thumb, and continue planting seeds/plants only to be reminded of “the heat.”
19. I have recently started using quotation marks a lot.
20. I am usually late.
21. I get angry at my husband when he is late.
22. I want to recycle or repurpose, but usually end up throwing things away.
23. I do not enjoy board games unless I am winning and/or good at them.
24. I love meeting new people but feel very awkward when I do meet them.
25. I should have been a nomad and get very uncomfortable when things become too familiar.
Okay, now that I have shared some really difficult things, what are your 25?
