…of which you speak?

They comes in and wants to take the Preciousssssssss — wicked, tricksy, false
*SmAcK* I really just need to learn to delegate. Those of you who know me know I’m terrible at it. I’m convinced it comes from a long history of self-doubt and fear of rejection. I’m a big fat neurosis smorgasbord, that’s what I am. As the Thriller is wont to say, it’s enough to pi$$ off the Pope.
How do you handle it? How do you relinquish your iron hold on things? I know there are people around me who are plenty capable of doing what I do — ain’t nobody irreplaceable. But it’s the initial releasing of the death grip…just…can’t…do it…ARRRG
Of course, I don’t know anyone else with this problem *coughCOUNTRYMOUSEcoughBANDOcough*, so I guess I’m in this ocean all by meself; lonely, no one to talk to, miserable.
Filthy little hobbitses…
I have NO IDEA what you are talking about?!!?!? You and I have had this discussion before but I’ll offer my insight for everyone to learn from….for me delegating is all about letting go of control!

That’s the thing, though…I’m always worried that I’ll prepare everything to the “T,” then give it up, and it’ll get all changed around. It’s ridiculous to worry such a worry, but I worry it nonetheless. Am I mental??
I have to get to the “accept how it happens is how it’s going to happen” part. I’m workin’ on it! Kinda. HA

I’m going to blame my inability to relinquish control on my parents who always expected (but never pressured) me to do everything and be the best at doing it – my dad is the same way. It was just assumed that if I undertook a task, hobby, sport that I would excel. I guess I view my career that way, as I have all other things since I can remember. Not that I’m necessarily excelling – but I’m attempting to and that benefits the students I teach. That is not my dearest personality trait, I must admit. It makes me… Read more »
And that picture of Gollum is exactly how my 7th graders would depict me in a motion picture.
