So, the Slacker Parent. What makes me so slackery? I meant to start this blog right after announcing to our families that the next generation was currently living inside of me (which was right around 14 weeks pregnant). That baby is turning 9 months old in less than 2 days. Whoops. Oh, and I totally haven't written a single Thank You Card for all the lovely baby gifts we've received. Double whoops. (I do appreciate them, especially the stuff I would have picked out myself).
In all honesty, I've been a life long slacker. And the other slacker blog out there is WAAAYYY to professional, hard work kind of thing. A quick history/highlights of my slacking are:
-Just about every Elementary School report card stating so. Though I always got high marks for personality and cooperation.
-I barely graduated High School. I'm talking skin of my teeth, and some very "willing to let it slide teachers". There may have also been a bit of lying involved about turning in of assignments...
-I slacked off in my much beloved extracurriculars. I said at the time that was the true meaning of Senioritis, slacking off in the things you actually enjoy
-I actually did fairly well when it came to college, I really blossomed there. But I did go to Junior College for 4 years full time.
-I was a miserable failure in the corporate world. I really fucking hated 2 of my post-college jobs, which to my defense were totally soul sucking (the other one was merely okay). With one of them, I just didn't do what I was being paid for, but I didn't get fired (okay, I did get put on disciplinary notice. Rightfully so). So I left and went back to school to study design.
-And I was a total slacker in getting my work done in my art classes
-I have an innumerable amount of projects that have been started in some capacity and unfinished. Seriously, it's bad.
-My house hits disaster mode at least once a week. It's teetering on it now, and yet I'm writing this...
-I have some glaring problems like overdue bills that wouldn't take much more than a phone call to fix, yet I haven't
So there you have it. This is some of my truth. I really don't know what this blog is going to be, but expect tips, advice, venting, and sharing. Actually, don't expect too much, I mean, you've seen the title.
P.S. I will say that I feel like this is more for me than for an audience. I'm trying to figure out just who I am at this stage of life, to force myself to be honest about my achievements, or lack there of, and maybe find some kind of drive and motivation to get on with things. Here's to hoping.
