Ever have one of those days/weeks/months... where you keep saying things wrong? After it comes out, the conversation is over, you realize it wasn't taken the way you meant it. Or one of those days where your child does something you have asked them not to do 4 times that day, or has their 5th poop accident that day and you just react, then think. Then regret. Then apologize. And still feel rotten. Or say an unkind word to someone, then realize you didn't really mean it, so you call and apologize, but know it's still out there and if it left a yucky feeling in your heart, it probably did theirs too. What I'm saying is that even on my good days, I am less than perfect. But, I do realize these things about myself. And I am constantly trying to be better, calmer, more patient, less critical. Which is in my opinion why we are here. So please excuse my foot, sometimes feet in my mouth. My blunders, my quick to anger moments. I will try to be less judgmental, and more compassionate. In short, try to treat others, they way I'd like to be treated.

I'm pretty much expert at fitting my feet in my mouth (figuratively... otherwise that's gross). My favorite is when you actually say the wrong word, or combine words to say something nonsensical and have to talk loops around it to make any sense and you end up offending someone in the process. That happens to me. A lot.
