Monitor Moment

NOTE TO SELF:

If you decide to get in a heated argument within the privacy of your bedroom make sure the baby monitor is turned OFF and that the other side of that baby monitor isn't in the livingroom for all your guests to hear.

MORTIFYING.

Compunction Corner

Do you ever look back on your life and think about the things you regret?
I have not lived that long and have a great many of them.

* I wish I had not broken Trevor McBratney's arm in the 8th grade, and that mean guy's leg in gym class 4 years later.
* I wish I had never listened to David Moravec and skiied down that God-forsaken hill that led to my untimely ski accident.
* I would most definitely re-think the bathing suit with the zipper down the middle that, when I was 10, boys would unzip for "fun".
*  I would seriously talk myself out of the perms I have had in my lifetime.
* I know I wouldn't have scratched those chicken pocks if I knew they would leave permanent scars.

Then there are the more serious regrets.....

* I probably shouldn't have broken up with Jimmy while he was on life support (true story).
* Perhaps chasing my brother around the house with a hammer was not the smartest thing I've ever done.
* If I had not eaten at In-N-Out burger before prom, maybe there wouldn't have been lettuce stuck in my braces all night.

Though I cringe at the thought of some of these memories, I can honestly say that those painful and occasionally ugly times in my life  have made me who I am today.

I don't believe that it is our place to constantly rub people's noses in mistakes they have made . Instead I feel it is our job to watch them learn from them.

So bring those fatty regrets on, if nothing else they make for good blog topics!
