What Am I, twelve?!!

Don't mind the noise. It's just me banging my head against the wall! Yes folks, I am the definition of insanity. Its when you do the same thing over and over thinking each time you'll get different results, but you never do.

"What did she do now?!" You don't have to say it out loud. I can hear the little voice inside your head. Hearing voices is okay as long as I don't hear them in *my* head. Since inquiring minds want to know, what I did was not keep my mouth shut. I'm pretty sure something like this has happened to all of us at one time in our lives. You know it won't end well but there you are with your mouth open and there are words coming out. The fact that I was right has very little to do with it. I acted wrong and I should have known better. Actually, I think I did know better somewhere deep down but the message never got to my brain fast enough!

So what do I make of all this? Well for one thing I guess you never lose your inner child. Mine came out to play this week and when I ordered her to go she told me to "act my age, not my shoe size!" If nothing else I entertained my husband and another good friend with my "what was I thinking" tale of woe. As far as they are concerned that's the only important thing. I feel like there should be some kind of lesson that comes with this story. I guess you could have someone with you at all times who will administer an electric shock whenever you're about to act stupidly. Or just laugh at yourself. It hurts less and face it, there just isn't enough time left to waste on perfecting this whole grown up thing!
