My 10 Things That I Hate About Me List

I'm FAT!

I am quick to anger.

I have a very difficult time getting up in the morning. I have a hard time getting to sleep at night and am, in turn, very sleepy in the mornings.

I can't cook. I don't like cooking and have NO desire to learn how.

I'm shy. I have a hard time making friends because of this. People think I'm stuck up because I don't talk much. (Why is that by the way? Why do people assume that quiet people are stuck up and not just shy?)

I am forgetful.

Did I mention that I'm fat? Oh yeah, I forgot :)

I care about what other people think about me. I really hate that. Why should I care what you think about me?

I am lazy. (Partially, I believe, because I am ALWAYS tired...read line 3)

I don't like to read. I miss out on so much and feel uninformed because of this.

I can not think of 10 things that I actually like about myself.

I totally understand the shy thing. Before having a little, people thought that I was stuck up because I liked to keep to myself.

Thanks, Sweetiepie. It is a lot of work, and I may complain sometimes, but I wouldn't trade my job for the world!!

Heck, yeah it's a lot of work!! Do what I do: tell your husband he may go play golf. He will be so thankful that he will take over all childcare responsibilities when he is home for at least a week. And if golf isn't his thing, then.... well, it rhymes with "snowblob."

...rhymes with snowblob, huh? Ummm...glowcob? lowbob? flowmob?

Hmmmm.

Ahhh, that last comment was me.

I guess my mind was someplace else.

Lizlee,

I don't play golf, but my wife is welcome to go out and have a night after I get home from work any time that she wants. It doesn't have to be paid with any lowbobs, I consider it part of being a Dad - comes with the package - no extra charge.

I typically take over handling the two oldest when I get home. The baby is very clingy to Lo whenever she is home, so pretty much her only hope is to leave him here and escape away in to the night :-)

loelsh said...

Yep, those girls really do love their daddy and pretty much cling to him as much as the baby clings on to me :). Guru and I both know that we are able to go out any time we want to and the other will be fine to stay home with the kids. The thing is, I think we both just like spending quality family time and don't want to interrupt what little family time we get to go out alone. (But we both escape occasionally, and are comfortable with the fact that we know we can if we want to.)

Trinity13 said...

So is it about quality or quantity?

loelsh said...

Well, the answer to that is simply...both.

Trinity13 said...

Do you think that a family could spend too much time together?

In your opinion Lo, if you had to give up one(quality or quantity), which one would it be?

Sorry for being so nosy, but I'm just curious.

loelsh said...

I guess it just depends on how well your family gets along together.
It's hard to answer. I think time is time. Of course I'd rather not have those inevitable times that our time together is stressful, but I think time is time. I just don't want to look back one day and wish I had spent more time with my family.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy doing things by myself (or with friends without kids), and I don't feel guilty for it because I don't do it very often.
The way I see it is that I'll have plenty of time to do things by myself in just a few short years when my kids are bigger. I want to enjoy their littleness in the short time that it lasts and build memories for them (and me) to be able to look back fondly on.
