A woman, a drill, and a master plan - How NOT to wait forever

Girls… you know this, right?
You want to do one small thing at home. Decorate. Build a drawer. Change a light bulb.
You ask your man for help.
He says: “Yes, tomorrow.”
Tomorrow comes: “Not today, another day.”
That day? Never comes. Ever. 😂

This happened to me sooo many times. I waited. I tried to be patient. I tried not to be annoying. But honestly… I don’t want to wait until he is in the mood. I want to do it NOW.

The problem?
If I do it alone… it’s chaos, or better said, disaster. I already proved that with a closet once (yes, there is an article about that 😅). Instructions, sweat, mess, almost losing my mind. So I waited again.

This time I also wanted LED lights.
Under the bed (I need light at night because I’m clumsy and I like my face without injuries).
Behind the closet.
Behind the TV.
Basically… everywhere. I love cozy lights ✨

Oh, and posters.
STAR WARS.
Parts 4, 5, 6. They would look AMAZING. But I needed frames. Cheap ones. IKEA ones.

And listen… I don’t hate IKEA stuff. But walking through IKEA is like hiking a mountain.
Or getting lost in a forest. Seriously. It’s survival mode.

Convincing my husband to go there was freaking HARD.
So I promised: “If you go, I will hang the frames myself.I will do the LED lights myself...You don’t have to help.”

He didn’t believe me. He knew I would stop in every department. But I promised.

And GUYS… I did it. We ran through IKEA like something was chasing us.
Products everywhere.
No breathing.
Straight to frames.
Pay.
Car.

I was so proud of myself 😉

One small problem…I promised I would do EVERYTHING alone.

Big. Mistake.

I watched videos about LED lights. I talked to my brother. I still didn’t understand ANYTHING.
My husband was in his computer world. Ignoring me.

“How does my husband think I can do this alone?”

So I thought: “Fk it. I can’t do it. I don’t know how. But I will!!”

And then… 💡 Light bulb moment.

I don’t need to ask for help. I need to make him help me without him knowing. ( again)
No mess. No stress.

Girls… are you ready?

Worst nightmare for a man:
His wife with a hammer.
A drill.
20 screwdrivers.
Nuts. Bolts.
Everything on the table.
And a very confused face.

I tried to draw a straight line on the wall. It was NOT straight.
He saw it. I pretended I didn’t.
I took a hammer. “Oh shit… this won’t hold.”
Came back with the drill and big screws. Stood in front of the wall like I was thinking deeply. Picked up the drill.

And then… I saw his face. Pure fear.

I asked nicely: “Is something wrong?”

He asked: “Are you going to use THOSE screws?”

I said: “Yes. Big ones. They will hold.”

His soul left his body.

And then…“OH FUCK, JUST GIVE ME THAT. I’LL DO IT. YOU’LL DESTROY EVERYTHING.”

WUHUUUU.
Plan worked. 💪

I sat down and watched this sexy man fixing everything 😏

Then LED lights. When he saw how I wanted to place them…And how many bad words I used…and the best one? How I would cut them, and then put them back together…😂
