My fellow blogger Katie did a very interesting post the other day. It was about her imperfections and I thought it was a very brave thing to do. Not many of us like to admit our imperfections to other people and doing so on her blog puts it out there for EVERYONE to see. So I mustered up the courage and followed in Miss Katie's footsteps. Hope this doesn't scare anyone away. lol
I don't wash the bottom of my feet every day. I hate touching feet and I sometimes forget to bring a washcloth in the shower with me.
I'm overly protective of my children. My 8 year old still isn't allowed to cross the street by herself, I still cut up her food, and I just recently started letting her take a shower by herself. Maybe I'm afraid if she does too much by herself, she won't need me as much?!
I've been known to put on the Disney channel for the kids, so I can have a half an hour on the computer uninterrupted.
I've started cleaning the guinea pigs' cage every other week instead of once a week. If it gets too messy I just put more cedar in the cage. Thankfully she's in the basement, so no one really sees it.
I don't thoroughly clean the basement like I do the rest of the house. I figure it's the kids area and people don't usually see the messes they sometimes make and forget to clean up.
When I get upset I'd much rather write down what I need to say than confront someone face to face.
I'm jealous of my husbands free spirit. He can go anywhere and do anything and feel completely comfortable.
Even at 32, I still find myself wondering what others think of me. I feel so sophomoric when I find myself thinking that.
I think I may have accidentally killed Jojo's frog with spray from my window cleaner :(
I feed my kids a fruit for breakfast and lunch and a veggie for dinner every.day. I'm a stickler for good eating habits, even if I don't follow them every day.
I feel that if my house isn't neat, tidy and clean, then I'm not doing my "job". I'm a stay at home Mom and I feel that since I'm home all the time, I should have a clean house.
I love cooking and feeding my family, but the clean-up parts is the pits. I sometimes wish I could just throw out the pots and pans instead of standing over the sink cleaning them.
Thanks for giving me the courage to do this Katie!
You ARE brave. Though if these are the worst things about you, you are doing EXCELLENT. :) I'm sorry, but the frog one was kind of funny!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I'm brave enough to do this. MOstly b/c I don't want to give certain people who read my blog more ammunition to talk about me. :)
I agree with QO...you are BRAVE to do this. You are one step closer to not caring what people think of you!!! Yey! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI actually dont' think it was bad at all!! haha...you look like a saint compared to me. haha ;)
ReplyDeletebut I am so so so glad you did this!!
I hear ya on the veggies and fruit thing! Landyn has to eat those everyday.
ReplyDeleteOn the subject of what others think of me......I've learned to say, "Who cares." It used to bother me if people thought bad of me, but I've learned that those people don't really love me for me and I don't need that negativity in my life. Just be yourself. We all love you very much!
You are a very brave girl. See...obviously you don't care what others think if you can do this.
ReplyDeleteLove you, even if you are a frog killer...LOL
