in response on the whole service thing........
no way am i offended by anyone on this!
i am totally prideful!
and i did really almost enjoy the dinners when i had that last c-section. since Lance was in school and doing an internship and never home, i fully needed the help and it only killed me a little versus completely killing me since i was so hard up.
and when i have had a baby, or radiation I fully called upon my sisters and mother and mother in law to help me. farming out the kids, and having them take over my job, which is the hardest thing for me, and it isn't the easiest Job. but I'd rather have maria come over in the early morning and comb my kids hair for school pictures while I was stuck in the hospital in isolation with radioactive iodine, instead of having Lance comb their hair. i am realistic over prideful on occasion. but very few occasions . and this isn't one of those occasions.
and, the cutting out the drama is in some ways an act of service for me. since i can't handle drama right now, sparing me extra drama, is service indeed.
and the beverages? totally the best act of service ever! desserts work too. they are yummy and delightful and not too much effort so i feel no guilt about accepting them.

LOL Jules, I totally know what you mean. My reasons are totally different than yours but still with the same result. I have a hard time letting just about anyone just come and do anything for me, it just isn't my style. But if I am in the area I may have to drop you off a DP, as I know how fabulous they are ;)!
Lots of people have a hard time accepting service from people other than strangers. I have my issues with it, too. You're not alone.
I fully agree. plus the condition my house is usually in is not presentable.
