Does a pitiful look on one’s face do the trick? I think it might. I was busy here a bit ago running the sweeper in the living room and dusting when I saw these young guys out shoveling dirt in the road. I went out and asked if I needed to move my car, and no surprise I did need to. They directed me to their boss on the tractor and and using my most ‘feel sorry for me I could be your mother’ look I asked him to come around to the back and look at the drop-off where I will be parking my car if this concrete ever dries on the driveway. Now mind you, these are city workers and not workers for the concrete company that did the driveways on the street. He promised me that on Thursday they would bring a bucket of dirt and put back there for me. Will it happen?? We shall see. My ‘feel sorry for me I could be your mother’ look works only about 50% of the time (never works on my kids). I will let you know when and if this happens. If not I will go out to Wal*Mart and buy a few bags of top soil and put it back there myself.
Tomorrow morning I go for a test at the hospital. I am very worried about this test. I know that my Twin has my back. I would appreciate it if you think of it to spare a kind thought or a prayer for me in the morning. I would be so grateful.
Lovely weather here today. Sunshine and 80 degrees on 4 October. It doesn’t get much better than this.
I will catch you all on Wednesday afternoon or Thursday. Stay safe and be happy!!
Beth
I hope your feel sorry for me look works for you. I will most definitely say a prayer that your test goes fast, painless and with good results.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
The poor 'ol mother look? Gee, I don't think that one would ever work for me! LOL! I pray that you come back from your test with a clean bill of health and a testimony after your test...you surely won't be forgotten in prayer. It's about seventy degrees here and very nice too. Somehow that makes the whole day brighter don't you think?
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely keep you in my prayers today and tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteMy husband works for the city in our town and that look from older ladies gets him everytime. He will do anything for a lady of his mother or grandmother's generation. He'll plant their flowers, building them an extra step, or even deliver extra dirt as per a special request, just to see a smile on her face. If these guys are anything like mine, you'll get the dirt you need :)
That look works on me every time! You are in my prayers the test will go fine. Stay on the sunny side!
ReplyDeletePrayers with you my dear!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah my look never works on my kids either :)
HI Beth,
ReplyDeletePraying all goes well with your test. Will you get an immediate result, I know the anxiety of waiting for test results only too well.
Seems like both our countries, have an Indian Summer then, but ours is set to change to Winter friday, with snow!!!!forecast for some areas, can't get much more changeable than that 90f then snow lol.
Hugs Nita.
Me and Him will be with you and remember Who is holding your right hand.
ReplyDeleteLove and hugs.
You're in our thoughts and prayers, Beth. If that look works would you mind coming down here and trying it out on the contractor who plows our lane in the winter?
ReplyDeletepreaying for good test results and dirt !!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your test results Beth, & I hope you get your parking area finished. My prayers are with you... hugs Doris
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't work on my son, either. Payback for the years he tried to use that look on me growing up--ROFL! ;) But it does work better on strangers. Here's hoping! :):)
ReplyDeleteYou are in my prayers, Lady!! *hugs* Let us know how you fare. Best wishes.
Hoping for good results on your tests and the dirt.
