What is rubbish? Well, according to the dictionary, it is anything that is worthless, unwanted material that is rejected or thrown out; debris; litter; trash. And that, my friends, is this week’s list theme. 10 things I am rubbish at.
But since I had to look up rubbish, just to make extra special sure that I knew what I was making my list about, I’ll Americanize it for ya!(This should be an easy list.)
10 things I suck at
1. Volleyball My husband didn’t believe me and when we were dating, and he took me to play volleyball. We haven’t played ever again in the last 14 years. I think that speaks volumes.
2. Cleaning the den or my bedroom Some day I will have a teenager make note of my super messy bedroom and thus insist he/she doesn’t need to clean theirs either. Oh, and I don’t make my bed, like, ever. And the den is just dumping ground central.
3. Being a soccer mom, or dance mom or gymnastics mom I show up. I support my kids. I do nothing cutesy. My children will probably need counseling.
4. Deep cleaning There’s that “C” word again. I feel like I am lucky to keep my house basically clean. Anything else is beyond me. The irony is that I obsessively pin cleaning tips.
5. Weeding I tend to wait until it’s embarrassing before I tackle it. I’m sure my neighbors hate it.
6. Tackling big organization projects I kind of amaze myself at how long I can ignore a pile before I will finally do something about it. I think I see hoarding in my future.
7. Cooking I’m not as bad as I used to be. My food is now edible. But when we got married, I burned pancakes. Now that’s pretty sad. I still only cook out of necessity.
8. Sewing Don’t you love how all the super domestic things I should be queen of are on this list? Yeah, I can sort of sew a straight line, but if you throw a pattern at me, I’m in pretty big trouble.
9. Shopping Seriously. Maybe I’ve just had little kids for too long, but I suck at shopping. And I hate it. Unless I know exactly what I am looking for and can get in and out of a store in half an hour, it doesn’t happen. Christmas shopping is like pulling out my finger nails one at a time. Hate. It.
10. Following an instruction manual for something requiring assembly The funny thing is that I will still do it, it just takes me 100 times longer than it should. And usually requires me to put something together wrong at least once before I figure it out.
No, I don’t think they’ll need counseling…I would imagine they love you all the more for not embarrassing them!

My husband will probably ask me why the c word never made it on my list. Because I choose not to clean now…
Those who can’t, pin.

I think they make number 10 hard on purpose…just so people will feel like idiots. It’s just a theory I have.

Don’t worry I never make my bed either…and I too suck at cleaning up my bedroom!

I am the worse in following instructions. I’m a super reader but just don’t give me something to put together. I don’t have the patience for that. I’ll look at the picture instead and put it together accordingly. You sound perfectly normal to me.

I’m so relieved that your bedroom looks just as messy as mine! I also have the same fear, my kids are soon going to refuse to clean theirs.

I don’t think this is an unusual list. Though your children will in fact and without doubt bring up the bed thing, but hey, even if you faithfully made your bed every day of your life and still do, your children won’t. <3
I hate shopping, My idea of torture is a day of window shopping. I made the mistake of saying I would spend a day with my mother, once. Never again. (Althought the reactions of the sales people thinking I was the hot himbo my mom picked up was pretty entertaining)

Ha ha ha I despise weeding, why bother they are just going to grow back. Plus they are the only things I can keep alive!
