Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Stop Apologizing – Be Thankful

January 7, 2019

We’re hoping to get the house mess fixed this week. I went last week to talk to the restoration company about it and I kept apologizing that their employees were going to have to clean this crap up. I keep being told, “it’s their job”. Well yeah, but I feel bad – I mean not my doing but for you I’m so sorry. What in the ever loving what am I doing here??!!

First off – I didn’t cause the mess. Second – I called them to help and they are going to. Third – All I need to say is, “Thank you so much for helping us out in our time of need – we truly appreciate it!” And then let them do their job. End of story. And it should be a happy ending when we get all this stuff fixed. And I’ll just be thankful and stop being sorry because they are getting paid to do the work and they are happy (mostly) to do it and get us back to normal.

So – I’m going to stop apologizing when the plumber, electrician, contractor, whoever comes out to do their work and just let them know I’m thankful for any help they can give. Their jobs are important and we need these people and apologizing may make it seem like less of a job when it’s not. Even working at McDonald’s when done well is good work. So, let’s give thanks where thanks are due and move on.
