Some of you may read this and think 'this is one weak female' whatever. I don't care, this is just how I feel at the moment.
First off, I live a blessed life. I have two great sisters, good job, house, car, yard, toys. I have people who geniunely care about me. I am truly grateful.
I get tired of having to deal with everything by myself. One of my toilets is starting to run. Oh, I looked at it, lifted the lid, jiggled things a little, even turned the water off, but it needs fixed. I bought the guts, read the instructions, looked at the john, read the instructions again. It looks easy enough, but what if...what if I get it wrong?
I have a tree that was damaged by an ice storm. You can't tell from a distance, but it's damaged. A second tree that has been planted to the left of my back yard. It's one that drops whirley wigs all over and hangs over my neighbors yard. They say it doesn't bother them, but they have a pool and I know it can't be good for them and besides, it's just too close to the house. An evergreen that has a history, but it's not my history and doesn't seem to fit in the picture I have painted in my mind. sigh
I want wood floors throughout. My front door opens to a small entryway, to the right is the kitchen, straight ahead is my living room. Because of this, these three floors need to be perfect so I'll have to hire someone. I am already thinking no matter who I call, they'll show up and try to rip me off. Can I do the three bedrooms myself? I've seen it done. It looks like something I can do.
I am mechanically inclined. I can do things. I've done lot's of things. I just don't want to deal with them. I just get tired of being the one to deal with them. I just want to hear someone say "Don't worry about it, I'll take care of them" That's not going to happen.
Now I could hire a friend of a friend, but is that really a good idea? Should I let my guy friends help? I don't feel comfortable with that.
Poor, poor, poor me. *sniffle* I'll get over it. I know how to be my own cheerleader.

Give me an M, give me an A, give me and NNY. What does it spell? MANNY. What does it spell, MANNY! GO MANNY!!!
I know what you mean. Sometimes it would be nice just to have someone help you out, not even do it all for you. *hugs* your way if you can take them from a "woulverine fan."
I know better to think you are weak. You can do anything you want to do. You have come a long ways to get to where you are now.
So if you a feeling tired, does that mean I can pick on the Buckeyes and get away with it?
*runs just in case*
I'll do it.. tell me what weekend you want me there to tell the peeps what the hell they have to do and exactly how they are going to do it.. then we will go out for shoe shopping.
yes?
barman-thanks babe. you are more then welcome to talk some smack about my Buckeyes. I like *hugs*
Roxi-I'm starting to feel better now. Coffee helped some.
I love shopping for shoes. That will be my only way to show off my pedicure today.
You two are great peeps, that's for sure.
Your not weak just overwelmed. I know the feeling. So take a little time for you and soon you'll either do it yourself(cause then you know for sure its right) or find someone who will do as you ask. (hugs)
gab-You're right. I spent all of yesterday pampering myself and feel much better now. I'll get it done, I always do.
dorothy-Yes mam.
It would be hard to have to get everything done by yourself. I'm sorry :(
You could always have Bob come over when the floor people come to give you an estimate. That way they will think he's with you. On second thought, maybe Crabby would be your best bet.
Yo Manny! I'm really sorry I've abandoned your blog! A few weeks back it disappeared, and I'd figured that you must've stopped blogging, but I guess I was wrong, and that it was just you changing your template and everything (and geewhizz, doesn't this look all swish and swanky now!), either that or my laptop was being unfriendly :(
I'm sorry your down, I can only hope that things will perk up eventually for you, and good things do happen to good people, so I'm sure you've got nothing to worry about :)
*hugs*
The Short North needs more of your type.
I know exactly what you are talking about! Sometimes it just gets to much.
But I think if there would be somebody to take care of everything you would propably be very bored after a while.
weakness is a perception.
Toilets are surpriseingly easy to fix. You won't mess it up. Promise.
On the floors and trees, watch your paper. Handymen advertise all the time. When you're ready take several bids and make sure they all know you are taking several bids. That's the only way to get a good price.
I did a couple of small trees here myself but I wouldn't tackle a big one. Too much wood cutting after to dispose of it. Plus I'm not allowed to use Bob's power saw cuz he thinks I'll cut my leg off, so I have to use the hand one. Big fat pain in the butt.
sign-Don't be sorry. I'll figure it all out. I always do. I think I just wanted a reason to blow off my weekend, so I went into my "I only want to play mode"
Nodders-Yea I know, after I changed my blog, I lost peeps too. I'm glad we found each other again.
wcsn-What type is that?
Mone-I didn't say take care of everything. I like doing things, I just got burnt out for a minute.
Tigre-You're right there my friend.
Crab-I know...the only problem with getting several estimates is, I have to be home. I don't mind missing a day here and there, but I will definitely need to take time off to get it done.
I usually stay away from ads I see in the papers, although I have to admit, that's how I found my lawn guy.
I'll work it out.
I agree with Tigre...weakness is perception !!!
I think you are NOT weak. You are actually a STRONG woman...think twice..and you will see how many hard situations you have gone through...with the little I know about you I am not going to mention it out here.
