Domestic Goddess

I heard someone call themselves a domestic goddess the other day and I wished I could apply that title to myself.

Nothing about me is goddess-ish at all when it comes to running our household.

Most days I don't get around to the dishes.. or the laundry.. or the sweeping.. or the basic picking up to make things look semi-presentable.

I just don't have a knack for it or the will to do what needs to be done.

Some days my husband even comes home after a long day of work and does all the household chores. Yeah, I really feel like a big fat failure when he does that.

I'm trying to improve. What can I say? I grew up not having to do anything chore-like because my mom always did everything.

I know, blame it on mom, so typical.

The truth is I don't step up and make an effort. I could throw a load of laundry in or do dishes during nap time, but I usually talk myself into taking "me time" instead.

I'll get it down one day... or teach my kids how to do the chores really early. I can hear them complaining already.

Off to do a load of laundry now.
