People Say....

"I just don't know how you do it with your husband gone all the time...". I usually just laugh and try to point out that I don't have to cook every night, do his laundry, pick up his junk etc. But sometimes I just want to scream - "I don't want to do it alone - why don't you help inestead of just patting me on the back verbally!" Today for instance: A normal day but for some reason (perhaps because my 1 year old has been sick for a week and is a total whine-bag!)I about came un-glued when my cupboard was squeeking horribly and the thought crossed my mind "I need a man!". It sounds very trite when I write it - but it was just one more thing for me to do. I don't have time in my day to find the WD40 and fix a cupboard. Oh yes, and then there is the lawn that looks like the amazon. Not to mention the truck that needs thoroughly clean.

You know, that person I would look down my nose at and wonder why in the world they dont get their crap together? That's ME.

If I could get my work done with my face on the floor I would try today because my heart needs a humility make-over.

And I wonder, no, I know...how many times I say the same types of things to others instead of sticking out my hand to help because I'm far too busy with my own little life.
