10 Things I'm Bad At...

Posted on the 28 August 2015 by Alex_bumptobaby @bumptobaby_blog
You're probably thinking what an odd choice of blog post.. and you're probably wondering why I'm purposely picking out the bad points about myself and totally bypassing the good. Well, the truth is, I've been thinking a lot lately about the perception that we have of everyone else lives.. the people around us, the peoples blogs that we read, the peoples videos we watch on YouTube, the people we see in magazines and on the television.. I think we all have a tendency to compare ourselves to others and wonder how everyone else is doing it - life, that is! 
So sometimes I think it's nice to throw your hands up and say "Hey - these are some of the things I get wrong or that I am bad at!".. We all have our faults, our bad habits, our weaknesses (as well as our strengths)! So on that note.. here are some of the things I am bad at..  
10 Things I'm Bad At...
1. Maths -- I'm actually not that bad.. I mean I can add up, take away, times and divide.. it's just the rest of maths that sends my brain to sleep. I don't even know what trigonometry means.. let alone how to do it!
2. Following Instructions -- yep, totally bad at this. I get bored after the first sentence (if I get as far as opening up the booklet/leaflet that is). 
3. Cooking --  I tend to stay out of the kitchen. That's the Hubbys territory now. I've even previously managed to burn baked beans in the microwave! 
4. DIY -- I admire those people who are able to put together flat packs, take care of the boliler and fix other appliances when they go wrong, put shelves up, build things from scratch, up cycle furniture and all that sort of stuff. But sadly, I'm just not one of those people.  
5. Giving Directions -- I should be good at this since I'm often asked to do so in my other job. But the reality is, is that I am often forced to admit that I really can't direct myself (or others) absolutely anywhere! It took me 6+ months to be confident enough to drive around the town I grew up in.. it's terrible! Luckily, I have a good friend who is simply brilliant at passing directions and I call him, Mr 'Google Maps'! 
6. Staying up late -- I just can't do it! I never have been a night owl and these days I'm often pretty much asleep before Ethan even is! 
7. Eating healthily --  I try, I really do. Okay - maybe not as much as I should. But the thought is there! Really!.. it is! If you think that all vegetarians eat is veggies.. think again. I'm addicted to cheese and pasta.. often together, far too often in fact! 
8. Finding enough time in the day -- Argh! I suck at this. Where's the time at?!! I seemed to have so much as a child! In fact, I often felt 'bored'.. something I never seem to be as an adult. Which is actually a good thing.. I guess?! 
9. Styling my hair -- When I've tried to style my hair previously, it has turned into an hours worth of trying and me looking a bit, um, ridiculous and then my arm will start hurting and then I lose my patience with it all and I go back to letting my hair just hang down and then I realise, oh, I've just wasted an entire hour of life! Yep..  I don't even bother anymore..! 
10. Keeping fit -- I do want to be better at this. I'm not bad because I'm bad at sporty-type-things, I'm bad because I just don't do sporty-type-things! But I want to! Again - the thought is there!.. I will get better at this, it's something that's on 'the list'.. (along with many other things!).So there you have it - ten things I am really no good at! (Most of them are through a complete lack of interest in said subject admittedly).
