There are days when you just get discouraged and you don’t want to be the adult. Yesterday I had one of those days. As a single woman, my house and its repair are up to me. Most of the time I can handle it but once and awhile I become very envious of women who have husbands. If you have a man in your life that does all the messy and dangerous jobs for you, please be grateful. Hug him and thank him. Walk a mile in my shoes and you will understand how truly blessed you are.

Well Aaron was at school, writing mid-terms and I was alone to handle it.

I have a leaking roof. It isn’t the whole roof. Only one area and we can’t find the location. As such, most of the time, my roof is fine but in heavy rain, the water pours down the walls and under the doors and I begin to wish I had taken surfing lessons.

With this big storm coming, I knew that I had to climb onto that roof and tarp it and I don’t have a husband to ask. It was all up to me and I was pouting about it. I really, really, really didn’t want to do it. I don’t like heights. I can’t lift the tarp and carry it up the ladder. It’s too windy. Why do I ALWAYS have to do everything. I can’t carry all the cinder blocks all by myself…moan, moan, mutter, mutter.

Bottom line, there is not one but me and no choice and so….I did it. I carried the cinder blocks and put them in place. I carried the heavy tarp up the ladder and spread it out. I nailed and tied it down. It was a big job and I did it.

When I was done, I was so proud of myself and my abilities. I am strong, capable, invincible. I am woman, hear me roar. I don’t need a husband, I need a martini!

I took pictures of my work. A friend came up the ladder to see what the heck I was up to now and took some pictures which now I proudly share.

I was so proud….until I climbed down the ladder and almost stepped on a dead rat.

Uck!!!!!

I need a husband. Shallow reason, I KNOW, but….. seriously? I am NOT picking it up. I am drawing the line here.
