There’s nothing wrong with being a lemming. Without further ado, my homage to Angela Pudding.
Forgiving Myself x 10
I forgive myself for backing up into that pole last week and bruising my car.
I forgive myself for not working as hard at parenting as I do at working with my students.
I forgive myself for not knowing all the words to Paradise By The Dashboard Light.
I forgive myself for getting a retainer and then failing to follow through with all my appointments.
I forgive myself for not opening a Christmas Club account. Ever.
I forgive myself for failing to take a daily vitamin.
I forgive myself for leaving clean laundry in the basket and not even attempting to put it in the drawer.
I forgive myself for laughing inappropriately when my friend Rick’s clavicle bone popped out of his chest while we were sledding when I was in high school.
I forgive myself for always wanting to be the center of attention.
I forgive myself for spending 10+ hours this week looking at stuff online at Pottery Barn and thinking I can actually afford Pottery Barn.

Can anyone afford anything from Pottery Barn? It’s like shoe shopping in a designer boutique. It allows us to dream doesn’t it? But…don’t they have the best-est stuff in their holiday catalogs and online?

I didn’t know half that stuff was even naughty. I’m probably going to hell for what I’ve done to my car over the years.
And don’t feel bad about Meat Loaf. He still gets the royalty payment, even if you jumble the words. Unless you’re planning on going on Singing Bee, in which case you’re in deep doo doo.

You’re so funny. And now I need to forgive MYSELF for laughing at your friend Rick and his popping clavicle!

What’s it gonna be, yes, or, no?!
I knew the words before I knew the title was Paradise by the Dashboard Lights!

Lemming? Shoot, that’s OK. I am reduced to posting about what’s on TV tonight. But seriously–television is making me nuts these days, even “Peanuts.” I am getting OLD. And I forgive myself for that.

while you’re at it, can you forgive me for the laundry basket thing, too? you’re a pal!

Oh my . . . if I were try and do this one it would be a mile long. The things I think of every other moment I need to forgive myself of. Like my daughter often says, “I must be a really bad girl because I always seem to get into trouble.” Too bad they don’t make a “swat yourself stick” so I could get it done and over with
