Day 1: 30 Days of Truth

November 1, 2010 By Erin L. Leave a Comment

And it begins….Day 1.

Something I hate about myself.

Hmmm.  Just one?
It’s so easy to get down about things you don’t like about yourself.  But instead of being a major bummer on my self-esteem, I’ll stick to two that annoy me to no end.

I HATE that I can be SO EMOTIONAL and I hate that when it comes to housework and such, I can be a LAZY bum.  Yup, that’s me, undeniably lazy.

There you have it.  I’m being truthful.

I’ve always been emotional — even as a kid.  I cried a lot.  Too much. I know it got annoying for the adults that had to be around me.  And it’s not even just emotional…I was sensitive.  OVERLY SENSITIVE.  I feel too much for other people.  Myemotions get in the way of making decisions for fear of hurting feelings.  I wish I could harden up just a smidge. 

I’m not as bad as I was…even in the past five years, I’ve changed.  But at my core, I’m a big ol’ softy and I would love to  just “man up” sometimes and not dive into the emotion behind things.

The lazyness.  I’m not going to go into it.  It doesn’t require a lot.  If my house needs my attention, I’ll watch tv instead, check my email, take a nap (ok, that hasn’t happened in a REALLY long time) — ANYTHING to avoid cleaning.  It irks me to no end and I don’t know how to change it.  It would be awesome if I could be like those people that are all out of sorts when things aren’t clean, that thrive on cleaning and get a rush from it.  Nope. Not me. 

GRRRRRRR.

    I have never understood those people who enjoy cleaning either! How could they?

    Soooo not a fan of cleaning. I have to keep a daily duty list for myself. Today, Monday, was floor mopping day. Ugh.

    Um yep I hate cleaning too but I feel better when I just jump in and do it so I can check it off my list!

    I'm ALSO a fellow cry baby. I hate when I cry at work though– that's the worst!

    I feel like you wrote this post for me! I'm definitely overly sensitive!

    I'm lazy, too, but my OCD takes over and I HAVE to clean!
