I Am Great At A Lot But I Just Can’t Seem To Get This

July 8, 2011

I am not really great at admitting to any faults i have. I think it comes with my perfectionist nature. & well, this is a something that i have tried and tried and tried again but just can not get it. & my husband finds it funny and makes fun of me for it.

Here it goes:

I am unable to walk and drink from a cup or water bottle at the same time.

This is not a new discovery for me – I have had this great inability my whole life. The only difference is i was not aware that this was something that other people – not super humans – were able to do.  I was oblivious that I was lacking in this ‘skill’.

I don’t know why it is so complicated for me.  I am a great multi-tasker.  I can answer the phone, change a diaper and stop a kid from falling on their face at the same time.  BUT for some reason there is something about trying to make the brain and body work to drink and keep walking at the same time.

Move legs — forward motion — drink beverage — not choke — not spill — keep breathing

Why is that so hard for me? not just hard but seemingly impossible.

:: Is this a ‘skill’ you have been able to master & you are laughing at me or are you sub-par like me? ::

Oh I’m right there with you. One must stop moving before drinking – otherwise it ends up all over your shirt (heck, sometimes that happens even if I have stopped moving already!).

OMG, so funny! I can barely walk, how about that? I have the WORST balance and probably couldn’t pass a sobriety “walk the line” test sober. I’m always running into people and tripping. Watch out, I’m going be totally hilarious and dangerous at BlogHer!
