Interesting prompts this week for Working Mommy Wednesday...
What are you not good at? What are you Awesome at?
I'm not good at... I have to take this in the context of being a working mommy, otherwise there are just far too many options :)
- Keeping up with the laundry - I'm not very fond of laundry as it turns out, and if I ever win big money, I intend to have a Laundry Lady "On Staff"
- Driving past Starbucks - I just love coffee goodness in the morning
- Remembering to schedule doctor visits for myself - I am much better at making sure that everyone else in my house is well-cared for...but I tend to leave my own things until the last minute
- Wearing a coat - even in the winter...it just seems like too much work, especially since I hate driving in a coat. I guess it makes more sense to make a mad dash into the building!
- Remembering daily lunch...I have to bring lunch for the whole week, I absolutely hate thinking about it every day. If I am not organized about lunch, I will not eat well and have way too many snacks and lunches out. {Fortunately I am usually organized...see below}
- Remembering little things...I am not good at remembering people's birthdays or other dates...I love to celebrate though and rely on other people to remind me {I do have a colleague who's excellent at remembering}
I'm awesome at... Again, I have to take this in the context of being a working mommy, otherwise there are just far too many options :)
- Leaving work at work...ok, my family might not say that I am awesome at this, but I know a lot of teachers who bring lots of work home at night. I really strive to be efficient at work, so that it doesn't come home with me at night.
- Being Organized...I really am nutty about organization. I love school supplies and a row of labeled notebooks makes my heart skip a beat. My desk is always pretty neat too and lists...don't get me started on my love of lists...I am mocked for this habit but I like order and organization :)
- Leaving Home at Home...other than bragging about how awesome my kids are, I don't usually let anything that's happening at home affect me at work.
- Following through on projects...when I say that I will have something done, then it's rare that I'm not prepared for a project or that I miss a deadline. I may forget personal details, but I am pretty detailed in my work.
These were kind of awkward lists to make...What are you AWESOME at?

ReplyDeleteLOL on the coat thing. I don't like driving in a coat, but i hate being cold. now as soon as the weather warms up, i'm all sweatshirt!! even if i'm a bit chilly, i pack the coats away.
ReplyDeleteoh, and i can remember people's bdays, i just forget to actually send a card.
I enjoyed reading your lists, and can relate to it all! - especially your yearning for a "Laundry Lady" on staff! (That is a fanatasy of mine too!) I'm also becoming a coffee addict! (A couple of years ago I wouldn't touch the stuff!!)

I founf you through the WMW Linky...great blog! Just became a follower.
ReplyDeleteFellow morning coffee addict here and I am greatly jealous that you have a Starbucks on your route.
I don't know why I never thought to hire a "Laundry Lady" if I won the lottery? I guess I'm too busy fantasizing about the hairdresser I'm going to hire to shampoo my hair everyday.
