My Promotion
How can I get a promotion while I don't work, you ask? It's kind of silly, but it means a lot to me. You see, I am a high maintenance woman. When Michael married me, he knew that. I love getting dressed up and I get upset when my hair and makeup get messed up. I don't like camping or sports. I don't like it when it's too hot or too cold, and I'm very sensitive to it. But, you know what? Everyone I'm related to and grew up with (friends included) are too, in their own way. We are all overly sensitive and high maintenance people. I didn't know any different. We were all happy and living normal lives. Then I met Michael......
Michael and most of his family are LOW maintenance. I think I never really saw someone low maintenance before - certainly not a woman. Some men love high maintenance women and appreciate their feisty-ness. They love the challenge of wondering what they're thinking now and trying to figure them out. I have never attracted those kind of men. I always attract men who wish I was lower maintenance. Michael included. I just want him to be happy and make his life easier, not harder. Also, as a Christian woman, I felt convicted to not make myself the center of attention for my husband and daughter. So, I made it my goal to be promoted to medium maintenance. I wanted to be somewhere in the middle.
I have been married 7 1/2 years and after a series of events that happened recently, I have been officially promoted!!!!!!! Michael said he isn't positive where the blurry lines between high and medium are, but he IS positive I am medium. :-) MY family thinks I'm low maintenance and HIS family thinks I'm still high maintenance, so medium sounds about right. I can't tell you how happy I am with my new promotion!
Will I ever be low maintenance? Probably not, but medium feels really good.
