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.
