It's time for a confession.
After all, confessions are the first step when seeking improvement.
This will be bad. You might not want to read on. If you do, you have been warned!
Maybe you already know this about me. I
have been in denial about this issue for so very long that
it borders on being a disease.
I'm lazy. (Apparently.)
Lazy as in sluggish, slothful, idle. Unwilling to work or use energy. Characterized by lack of effort or activity.
I've always been this way. (Apparently.)
I got my first job when I was 15-1/3. I worked in a nursing home for the summer months and continued to work there two weekends a month thereafter, all while attending school and maintaining a GPA that placed me in the top 10% of my class. Since I came from a low-income family, this meant that the government sent me a check every month just for keeping my grades up!
My head hangs in shame. What a lazy 15-years-old I was.
After Noah was born, I had a part-time government job that allowed me to take him to work with me. When a second position came open, I was offered a second part-time position. I worked 50 hours a week while mothering an infant who never saw a minute of childcare.
This is outrageous laziness. I may be too embarrassed to go on.
Fast forward to now. I just want to make it as painless as possible for you to read about someone like me who is just so extremely lazy. (Apparently.)
I'm a single mother two three children with a full-time job as a Waldorf teacher. I'm known to ask my teenagers to babysit the toddler, so I can take a shower or use the bathroom. [Gasp.] I think taking the trash out and loading/unloading the dishwasher are reasonable chores for teenagers. I don't always cook dinner. At times my children have to eat Evol burritos or [Gasp so big I'm almost choking to death.] a bowl of cereal & fruit.
Laziness is apparently very common in Pisceans. Pisceans also tend to have substance abuse problems. (Apparently.) I think I might need a bottle glass of wine to swallow this confession...
Hi. My name is Cadi and I'm extremely lazy. This is my confession.
[I think you're supposed to applaud now.]
