I had so much fun with this meme last week, that I thought I'd participate again.  This week's topic is CONFESSIONS.  Through our blogs, we often "appear" to lead a perfect life.  But, how many of us actually do?  I know I sure don't! 

So today I'll confess to you some of the things I don't brag about on my blog, but they're what make me ME!

1. There are so many things I'd rather do than housework!  Vacuuming and dusting ... well, I just don't do them, if I can get away with it.  Dishes and laundry aren't so bad, but the rest always gets put off around here.
2. I'm addicted to my job!  I put in way more hours than I should.  Don't tell Gena this, but I'd probably do it without pay.  Well, maybe not, but still...
3. I have an obsession with books and doing book reviews is a way for me to feed that obsessions.  Up until a few years ago, I had problems getting rid of books too (I've since had to remedy that situation, as we were running out of room!)
4. I'm a paperwork perfectionist and am very particular about organizing certain things.  But then, referring back to #1 - I only wish this "problem" would trickle over into housework.  It does, however, trickle over into The Schoolhouse Planner (which, I guess, is a good thing).
5. I hate sports and am about the most unathletic person I know.  As a matter of fact, I'm pretty terrified of balls flying at me. 
   
6. I'm love chocolate and have a hard time keeping it in the house - if it's here, I eat it.
7. Referring back to #4, I have a problem designating jobs to others.  I have this "if I want it done right (my way), I might as well just do it myself".  This sometimes gets me in trouble though (and goes back to #2).
8. I tend to be the disciplinarian in my family.  Not sure why, but I'm the stricter parent. 
   
9. I don't agree with the whole "blood is thicker than water" thing.  I've had "friends who stick closer than a brother" many times in my life.  When you're dealing with traumatic situations, you find out who your true friends (and relatives) are.
10. Though I tend to be a "friend for life", I'm realizing that most people aren't that way.  One of my biggest pet peeves these days is Fairweather Friends/Hypocrits. 

That's enough confessing for now. If you'd like to play along with Friend Makin' Monday, go here.  Leave me a comment, so I can come read your confessions.

I'm right with you on the chocolate. I love true friendship too, life is too short for anything less

I have horribly slow reflexes. I tried playing tennis for a while in high school, but I was SO bad that it would surprise people when I actually played well! Ha!

Jun. 15, 2009 - I struggle with housework, love chocolate, and am fairly unathletic, too!

Actually, I'm thinking most of my friends probably are the same. Well, I do have a few that may be athletic, and a few that are somewhat obsessive-compulsive about their homes and housework. But I think many, if not most, of my homeschooling friends are more of the "love books, relaxed about housework, love chocolate and friends and given to hospitality" types.
