Where were you when God was handing out, "I can'ts?"

According to my husband, I was apparently out playing or busy doing something else when God was handing out the words, "I can't" to everyone's vocabulary. This made me laugh out loud. At first I thought Jess was telling me a joke about this and then I realized he was talking about me, his 8 month pregnant wife working away trying to completely refinish our backporch room before baby comes. This is just part of what has been filling my days and weeks, and I'm determined to get it all done with plenty of time to spare. Let's hope my optimism is correct. I just had to share this funny story because it became the great joke of the week at our house, when then just the other night Jess comes home from work to find me working on putting up this neat rain chain we got for our gutter. As I'm talking away telling him all about it, his gaze wanders up up up the chain to the roof and gutter where it's hanging and he says, "How did you get that up there?" And I point to a little folding ladder lying on the ground that our painter had been using and how I asked him if I could borrow it. And Jesse says, "like I told you before, you weren't around for the I can't lesson. And you are not allowed up on that ladder again or any ladders right now." The kids come running up to see him, and Jess tells the kids not to let mama on any ladders, she's not allowed. Fortunately I was able to put his mind at ease and tell him how I didn't end up actually climbing up it myself, because our painter guy must have thought the same thing. When I asked to borrow his ladder, he said, "sure," but took one look at me and grabbed the ladder himself and asked me where I wanted it and then proceeded to climb up himself and not let me near it. So I must actually look pregnant at this point, because I keep having people telling me, "no," which i'm not used to.
