I swear I have dealt with Every A-Hole within a 20 mile radius today, and I'm about to loose my mind... I mean the Full moon was last week... Come on!!!
Most know that I don't get to excited "most" of the time, but this morning my aura is WAY off... I walk up the road from takin my boy to the bus stop, there is a garabe truck sitting in front of my house, with this "Nasty" Smelling crap running all thru my yard, He is standing outside the truck talking to "Friend" , laughing having a good time... Well his fun ended when I rounded the truck and ask him if he was planning on Cleanin the mess up in my yard, and when he looked at me "Deer in headlights" I told him... I would suggest he move along RAPIDLY...
Which then ment standing out there at 7am trying to wash the crap away from my FRONT Door... I was so mad!!! Apparently still am!!
Then... Go to work, 1st thing of the day have to fight with a contractor, over a "notary" I ran and did Yesterday, (missed 3 calls),but they felt they needed a more "Higher Up" signuture, and I have to Run AGAIN today, away from my work, my other Customers, and do it again... (Now Mind ya... My Husband & I Run the Business... Its OURS) However, He is President, I am Vice... I mean Come On!!!
Well needless to say, I forgot the serenity prayer at that moment as well, for I had to express to them my "Feelings" on their own Ignorance!!!! I had to then explain to them that they were not our only customer, we have 1500 OTHERS... So holding this "Petty" check over my head for payment, really didn't mean much to me... I don't mean to sound cocky here, because it is not like that! We finished this job (3) Months ago, No Problems, Systems Run Great, the place we did it for, called to thank us for such a great job, but the CONTRACTOR is being a "Not Nice Word"....And Slacking on Final Payment... We are Also Contractors and we just don't treat people, or customers that way.. If you do the work, you get paid! PERIOD! No Notary, Just payment...
Then... Like that wasn't a bad enough morning, My Service Guy (ONLY) is currently going thru a divorce, brutel one... And of course he can't get focused, can't get things done between lawyer visits, custedy battles, teen pregnancy's, school teacher meetings, etc... So when he don't do "his" Job, then guess who they call and cuss And of course he can't be replaced due to the fact that we would then have to Re-train someone and then ALL our customers would be ticked...
I am Overwhelmed, and about to loose my mind!! I know that alot of it has to do with the fact that I Run Non Stop all the time between running our own business 50hrs a week, soccer, and trying to keep up with other property, (Which also was broken into over the w/end, lucky didn't see anything missing, just busted doors!!!) I just don't know how else to manage my time so that I can get it all done...
God Bless All You Parents out there with more then one child and in sports... Cause I am wore Clear out, and I have but one!!! In ONE Sport...How do ya 'Take care of You' when there is too much to take care of??? My Head this morning will not quit spinning, I have to run out (should be now) and get the dumb paper done AGAIN...But tryin to calm my nerves 1st!!!
(Just got Cussed again on phone... I am Sooo Ready to hand the phone over to the answering machine and just WALK AWAY!!!)
This is were I Sooo Need Work On Me... Once I hit 'Overload' it is hard for me to "Back away slowly", once my blood pressure hits a certain 'High', it takes awhile for the "boil" to cool.... I know this will help, but it still doesn't make me to proud of the person I was this morning... And I was only 2 hours into my day...
Think its time for me to start back at... I am Powerless, He can.. I can't, I think I'll Let him!!! I can't get my thoughts cleared, I can't even go at "One Moment at a Time" because the Moments are Overwhelming Me!!
Please HP Give me Strength, cause today this Girl is Just about DONE!!!
Sounds like agreat day there are a few more lines in that prayer that may help . God grant me the serenity * let me calm down * To accept the things I cannot change * them * The courage to change the things I can * that would be my attitude * And the wisdom to know the difference . do the footwork leave the outcome to God..
And of course he can't be replaced due to the fact that we would then have to Re-train someone and then ALL our customers would be ticked...
