Is Honesty Foolish.

In my life, I have openly admitted to losing or misplacing things.
That I do not like commitment.
That I do not always return phone calls.
That I will not answer the phone if I am napping.
That I forget things.
That I hate doing laundry.
That my kids can be difficult.
That I need reminding.
That I am disorganized.
That I cannot spell.
That I can be late.

Now, because I openly admit to all these faults and more, does that mean that gives me an excuse not to try harder?
Some perhaps like laundry, or returning calls.
Or do I openly state these things to avoid the conflicts arising from people's high expectations and demands.
As I am far from perfect and will never be.
So am I foolish?

The other day I misplaced some important papers, I can do nothing now, but admit my fault; therefore I do so without shame or guilt. They look at me puzzled that I can do so easily, without worry of protecting my image. I have no image, for I am human I say. Aren’t we all.
