I imagine a story where a particular lady of indeterminate age takes on more than she should.
She can not say no to anyone and stretches herself so thin that she bumbles around creating havoc throughout the day. It wouldn't be too terribly bad except that she puts her safety at risk to complete tasks for everyone else beside herself!
It is possible she might forget to take her much needed medicine, or to shift her car into park when on a slight incline. Maybe this lady leaves her phone at a grocery store counter or forgets to pay an important bill.
The man she calls husband decides to show her what happens when the woman he loves allows herself to fall to the bottom of the list! He makes a point to blister her bottom intending to reign in his lady love!
This is fiction......But I do tend to take on more than I should! A little fun to lift mine and others spirits!
Hi Minelle, Like we are going to believe that is fiction, lol!!
ReplyDeleteNice picture
love Jan, xx
Well Some of it is fiction! LOL
DeleteThanks!
Hi Minelle, I was thinking the same as Jan lol. Just how fictional is it hmm? Awesome drawing, I wish I had half of your talent.

Roz
You guys! I am telling the truth!
DeleteThanks.
Hi MInelle, I was thinking this must be about you and how similar some things are to me. Love the picture.
ReplyDeleteHey have you checked out my answer to your question yet?
Hugs Lindy
We do tend to take on so much don't we?
DeleteGuess it will always be so!
It does not surprise at all that you take on more than you should....it would surprise me if this were truly fiction...April tomorrow....the start of the end for school year, hang in there and get those applications done!
ReplyDeletehugs abby
I didn't say it was all fiction! Since he wasn't here....this time.....
DeleteOh and I am filling out those applications....
DeleteGreat talent you have! I'm not good at saying no either. Fiction? Sounds very plausible :)
ReplyDeletehugs
DF
Plausible? VERY! Could happen!
DeleteFiction I bet not. Love your drawing.
ReplyDeleteLove,

Some of it is true! lol Not that he wouldn't be UPSET!
DeleteThanks!
Love the drawing. I think that fiction has an awful lot of real life tucked inside. Maybe you should take heed - maybe???
ReplyDeleteI am taking heed! I need to listen to the powers that be!
DeleteMinelle,
ReplyDeleteWe are all guilty of doing too much, saying yes too often! I keep giggling when I remember that someone suggested a coffee table book of all your beautiful drawings. So funny. We look forward to more drawings and stories.
Meredith
I know! It is so hard to say no! Keep giggling! Can you imagine?
DeleteFiction, Minelle? Ha! You do take on way too much and don't know how to say 'No'. The only fiction part of this story is your Scotsman blistering your butt. ;)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings...Cat
Hey can you blame the guy for not blistering me if he wasn't here? Actually he does get upset when I do too much!
DeleteThat's pretty unanimous then, we're not convinced it's fiction! Lovely drawing Minelle.
ReplyDeleteRosie xx
I can't always rely on this being all fiction! Often I am my own worst enemy!
DeleteThanks!
I tried and tried to leave a message. Cat finally helped me get this crazy blogger cooperating, geesh. Happy to be back now....
ReplyDeleteMINELLE...very little fiction here. Slow down and take care of yourself please. It bites when life gets too busy!!
Hugs,
Clara
Clara! Yay! Happy you are back! What? You doubt me?!
DeleteWell all I will say is that some of those high jinxs are true....some fiction!
HAHAHAH i'm so sorry, i was going to say i actually KNOW someone like that. in real life. and she probably would benefit from a sound spanking. then i read all the other comments and ended up with a silly grin on my face.
ReplyDeleteguess your friends know you well. i must say this has given me some insight as far as you are concerned :)
me- i'm really good at saying no. something i learned about a decade ago. it's liberating. really!
(cant wait to read the story, and i'm just going to assume it's fiction, shall i?)
Unfortunately, I am very much like this fictional lady. I enjoy helping and doing for others.... There is a happy medium however!
DeleteMinelle, I loved the "what if" twist on this post. Its this really Minelle? Or is this something Minelle was hoping for?
ReplyDeleteNothing like a spanking when the world gets to be too much. You need to practice saying "No" in the mirror. And, yes, I really do think a coffee table book would be just lovely.
Hugs From Ella
I've had friends make me repeat No after them! Lol
DeleteAs to the wish.... I believe you can surmise the answer to that one! ;)
Maybe one day I'll make that book!
As always, I love the drawing! Ah, the "what if" scenario....sometimes it seems to be parallel to mine! Lol
ReplyDeleteThanks Maggie! There are a few of us here! We need to stand strong!
DeleteI LOVED your little story here, Minelle! Story that leaves us all wondering... Or pretty convinced that it is Y-O-U! LOL! You need a stop button. Or a stop spanking. Tell your Scotsman that I said so. xox
ReplyDeleteYour drawings are terrific! I would buy a book for my coffee table. I would even leave it out there. Maybe. Maybe not. Because I would be the one to forget to put it away when someone comes over. LOL! I would keep it tucked away. And look at it often! You should do one! You are very talented, Lady! Many hugs,
<3 Katie
Oh golly! A STOP button?! Great idea! Maybe I could use it for all kinds of situations.....! Lol
DeleteI may work on a book.... One day!
