So today I cleaned. We got a new Xbox so I gathered up all the Playstation games we have collected over the years, and decided they will be sent to my sister- in- law, so her son can enjoy them.
After they are all gathered together I give her a call and leave a rather humorous voicemail.
"I am sending you all of our old Playstation games, but I am too much of a lazy beotch to make sure they aren't all scratched I will leave that up to you, but they are all in the right cases."
What followed was a funny text conversation that resulted in my sister-in-law nominated me president of the lazy beotch society and she became my lackey.
It made me start to think, why do we do this? I called myself lazy after I had cleaned all day just because I didn't look at the back of each disk.
It goes even further beyond this one incident. Every time someone compliments something I do and should be proud of I instantly play it down.
For example someone says "wow, you go to school, work and raise a family. You are amazing"
I always counter with "well really I do all my coursework online, and my job is only six hours a day so really it's not that bad."
We all do this in one way or another. Instead of saying "oh thank god I got through this day",
We say "man I didn't get anything done today."
Even though we woke up, made breakfast, took the kids to school, went to work, picked the kids up from school, took them to after school functions, made dinner, put the kids to bed, and did homework.
Superwoman does not live here. That is a sign that was on my mothers fridge when I was growing up, and a mindset I think we all should have. We can't get it all done in one day. We aren't expected to get it all done in one day. Let the messes be messes, and live life well.
If this way of thinking makes me president of the lazy beotch society, then I proudly rule the club. Want to join?
