FTSF: I deserve a medal for the time I....

It's that time again!  Finish This Sentence Friday.  Today's sentence:  I deserve a medal for the time I...

Hmmm.  That's a really tough sentence to finish.  I've never committed an act of heroism or saved a life or anything like it.  But, for the sake of writing this blog post, here are a few things that popped off the top of my head.

1.  I deserve a medal every time I get off the phone with Tricare and I resist the urge to either beat my head against the desk and/or break the telephone.  Seriously, who else wants to hulk-out after they've had a conversation with their health insurance?

2.  I deserve a medal every time my kids throw up on me, and I don't reciprocate the action.  It hasn't happened a lot, but it has happened, and I have never thrown up on them in return.

3.  I deserve a medal every time someone asks me to do something for them and I don't say no.  I just have no ability to say no to people.  Really, though, it's more of a strict sense of responsibility.  I don't know why, but I just feel like I have to help when someone asks me to do something.  I wasn't voted most dependable for nothing.  Now, that's not to say that I will do the things people ask of me without grumbling and complaining.

Ok, so those three things are meant to be kind of funny and light-hearted.  I honestly can't think of a specific medal worthy situation.  But, I would say that I have a personality trait that is medal worthy.  For me, can't is not an option.  You might say I have a "can do" attitude.  You really don't want to be the person telling me something can't be done.  Just ask Casey. 

Nothing annoys me like a laundry list of reasons why something can't be accomplished.  I just don't want to hear it.  Do not tell me why something can't be done, tell me how it can be done, because there is always a way.  Always.  This country was built on loopholes, remember?  But, seriously, where would this world be if everyone threw up their hands in defeat each time they are faced with a challenge?
