Jenn: 5 things...
Posted by

I decided today I would toot my own horn...make a list of 10 5 things I am "good" at. Give myself a little ego boost or at least a good laugh. Something simple for an end of summer day...
1. I am a Good Mom. The other day one of my children told me I was too honest. I didn't think a person could be too honest - but I think when I tell my girls their hair looks like a rats nest they don't like my brand of straightforwardness. I don't sugar coat. Never have. I try to tell it like it is - especially to those closest to me. I try to live by the rule if you don't have anything nice to say... except when it comes to my family and then I tell it like it is. I think that makes me a good mom. It also makes me very quiet sometimes when I am thinking those "not good things" I can't say.
2. I am a Good Cook. I am not afraid to try something new. I hate the prep work and the clean-up but I love the actual cooking and of course the meal I end up with. I love to bake. Chocolate cake is my specialty.
3. I am a Good Friend. I limit my drama but will listen to yours. I am easy going and not demanding. I will help you out if I can. I won't babysit your kids but I will pick them up and drop them off for you at friends houses. I will watch your pets and even water your flowers when you're away. I will make you a meal if you need it. (See #2)
4. I throw a Good Party. My parties tend to be simple and uncomplicated. I decorate, I cook, I clean up before you come over. I make sure there is plenty to eat and drink. I invite an interesting mix of people. It's not hard to throw a good party.
5. I am a Good Idea Person. Need to get crafty? Call me - I will think up some ideas for you. Parties? I am good at planning them. Need your kids to help out? I have some tricks. Looking for something to do? I can help you out. I have lots of thoughts I can share with you if only you ask...
