BROKEN FOOT & LESSONED LEARNED

Being a better me also means admitting when I need to change a part of what I am doing or how I'm acting (this really isn't easy for me). Being part of a team sometimes means playing a position you don't normally play or covering a position for another player in order for your team to win. It also means not frequently pointing out the missteps or screwups of other team mates but focusing on how we can play better as a team. Many teams have play books which help them create possible situations in which they may encounter against the opponent. These play books are a sort of a plan for overcoming the situations with ease and defeating the opponent. Every player has a position they he/she executes in the play to ensure the team plays seamlessly. However, there are often times when teams encounter an unexpected component and the team deteriorates because it doesn't know how to handle this new problem. Well this what happened to my team (family). Long story short my husband broke his foot and 2 of my kids got a stomach bug which consisted of flowage from both ends!!! I spent most of Friday & Saturdy resentful and exhausted. Sunday night when I had time to really process and be upset I realized that I really have a great husband. I often complain to him and my girlfriends that I need more help from him and how he doesn't do much to help ease the burden of running the household. However, now that he isn't able to help at all I'm really feeling the pressure. Although I am not going to totally let him off the hook for more help I will give credit where credit is due. I am greatful for the husband I have and for the help he does give me. Oh and another thing I realized through all this women are amazing machines! When push comes to shove we get stuff DONE (efficiently)!
