Back Off Bitch!

Am I the only person that is seething with the desire to tell all helpers (be it human, webpage, or book) to go fly a kite?  I feel like such a twerp for having these feelings, but dear lord!  A nice lady decided to assist me today, despite my protests, and I think my toe is broken.  Not to mention the fact that I noticed she gave herself a hernia lifting the shopping bags I could have placed into the trunk myself.  I appreciate that she was kind enough to help out... really I do... but dammit when I smile and say, "No thanks, I got it." That should be ENOUGH!  Yesterday I was pretty sure my brain was liquifying in my skull and that little bugs were gnawing at my sinus cavity, I would have eaten her alive.  I cannot be held responsible for my actions under such conditions.
That being said, it is great that we live in a place where people seem to genuinely care about others. It really is. While in Philly, my trials were sometimes comic fodder for my neighbors.  I am still pissed off about hearing chuckles as I crawled into the house because I couldn't navigate the ice and being mugged while pregnant. But, I need a happy medium.
I am also frustrated with the webpages and books intending to help those of us with disabilities adapt to parenthood and the world at large.  It all seems so irrelevant.  Admittedly it is hard to appeal to the masses because our needs are so individualistic. But why suck so bad. Yes, I am just complaining, I have no real solution. I just needed a forum to rant. That is all....

  1. I promise to never help you. And if you ask for it, I'll tell you to do it yourself. Okay, maybe I'll help.
