I try to be helpful but can be very anxious and clumsy. Like when I vacuum I try to pick everything up but I still get caught in an electic cord or blanket off the couch. Despite picking these things up I still sometimes get the vacuum caught. I wear my husband out since I can't always get the stuff untangled. I use to have numerous car accidents but lately haven't had them. Could someone give me advice?

HA HA HA! That is ME! My husband has better things to do too, but what are you gonna do?

I see things this way. I am a full time student, do errands, grocery shop, cook, take care of our pets, laundry, do the church thing, take care of my friends mom...I am busy and tired too.

We are a team here...we work together. I get the drapes in the vaccuum, he replaces the belt that smoked. He is hungry, he gets a meal. He needs clean clothes, I do the laundry....it works both ways.

And it is not like we intentionally do these things, they just happen. I have slowed down my vaccuuming as not to get the drapes or dog toys sucked into it. My earrings, I have this jewelry dish I put stuff in.

At times it is just organization so things are not everywhere. Other times, it is me just needing to slow down. If I am busy, my husband will vaccuum too...and HE has even sucked the curtains up!
