I'm a pretty independent woman, I like being able to do stuff on my own. I think it stems from this idea I got in high school that I wasn't as good as boys because i was a girl. In college I worked in facilities maintenance. It was a predominately male group I worked with and some times the boys would tell me to sit back and let them handle the work. Some women might enjoy that, but I hated it. To me it was another way for them to say I wasn't as good as them. There were a couple who actually thought that, but I showed them by becoming their boss :) The rest were just trying to be nice. John is like that, he is nice. I know it's silly, but it used to bug me when he would lift heavy things for me or help me when I didn't need it. He did it all the time when I was pregnant with Glen and Benjamin and it bugged me! I mean I was pregnant, not broken! I decided a few months ago that next time I was pregnant I was going to sit back and relax when he told me to. I would enjoy it instead of resent it. Yup. That's what I'm doing. He is cleaning the house today and he told me to sit down and rest. I am definitely enjoying this! :D There will be plenty of times when I have to work hard, when I am told to take it easy I am going to say "Thank you very much" and enjoy it! Excuse me while I go grab a book and find a seat on the couch.
