Great!

So, by now I have established that I am a bad housewife or at least a lazy housewife. The dishes have regenerated in my sink, the dishwasher needs to be emptied again, the dirty laundry has begun to multiply, dust bunnies have morphed into dust ponies and my sheets are still mismatched.
Some people fight their ineptitudes, and I usually do myself, choosing to happily follow the plot of second-rate  movies by working and working harder to improve from my underdog self into a champion. I would consider myself (and so would my BFF) a formidable opponent to Danica Patrick, I can out-parallel-park my hubby who works on and handles cars for a living, I can change a baby's diaper one handed and I can navigate my overly cluttered, shoe strewn, pant littered, book scattered and dog distributed floor in the dark with my eyes closed! I am not a quitter and I work hard to improve upon skills - usually. You see, it is important to improve upon oneself, but I think it is also important to recognize that you can't be perfect and sometimes you must embrace your imperfections and limitations as those facets of yourself that make you unique, lovable and human. So, I embrace the fact that my housekeeping skills are abysmal and harrowing, because I know I can't be good at everything and I don't need to be.
So I am not a good housekeeper, but, I am a good customer. No, I am a GREAT customer, as evidenced by the hand-written-in-marker thank you note (complete with hearts) I received from a certain customer service rep with a delicious southern drawl, who graciously assisted me in my procrastination project. Take that better-than-me-housewives!
