My (Not So) Secret Confession

I hate house work. I just do. I get little satisfaction out of a clean house, and I am just as happy sitting in a mess as I am in a tidy house. 

I make a lot of excuses- I work full time, I have a three year old, I try my best, etc But those all just excuses.

And I don't really try my best. If house cleaning was a school subject, I would fail.  And the teacher's comments would say, "Jessica has a lot of potential, but she lacks serious motivation. She is often off task and not focused. She is capable of better/more work."  

I often feel guilty about my messes. Not guilty enough to change, just guilty enough to beat myself up about it at midnight when the laundry still isn't put away and I have wasted another evening. 

Wait, I take that back.  Some evenings are wasted, but most are spent with my family. And that will always win over cleaning. (But so will a Friends marathon or just about anything else that does not involve a vacuum or a mop.)

So, there you go. My name is Jessica, and I suck at house work.
