I can’t blame ALL of my poor decision making skills on being the adult child of a narcissist. Even with my background, I seem to willfully make my life more difficult.
For instance:
The weather is perfect this morning. It’s cool and my flowers are popping and my coffee is perfect. I sat on my deck and contemplated all the things I need to do this morning before we make the long car trip to celebrate my granddaughter’s third birthday. I actually thought this: You know, I should just have a yard sale and sell all my houseplants. Because this is a reasonable alternative to watering them.
A few weeks ago, I got a speeding ticket. I had to pay $165. for my breaking bad moment which prevented me, again, from fixing our dead car. I paid the fine online before the court date, so that is good. However, I did not have my proof of insurance when I got pulled over, I was supposed to show the court proof of insurance; that was last week. I still haven’t dealt with this. Does this mean I have a warrant out for my arrest? I might be writing my next blog post from a cell.
I suppose the fact that I have been married three times is a testament to my lack of good choices as well.
The reasons WHY my decision making skills have suffered might be valid, but the fact that I still have so much room for improvement rests entirely on me.
Now, I have to go. I have SO MUCH to get finished this morning. I’ve severely limited my time to due my decision to write this blog post.
I sure have my stupid moments. Threw out a PC with the HDs still in it. Stupid. I almost mowed over the garden hose before my lovely wife stopped me. “What in the hell are you doing?” Duh… I don’t know. That actually worked in my favor as my SIL has a professional lawn mower and it takes him a quarter of the time to mow as it did me. I am banned from the lawn mower. It threw a rock prior to my above absurdity and it cracked my daughters rear car window. I guess the two added together caused me to be banned. Breaks my heart.
I bought the big package for our Internet service and see that the cap. of 25GB/Month is barely going to be adequate whereas our old wireless had no cap. *sigh* Stupid.
I’m blaming drugs.
I dunno…I think blaming drugs is completely reasonable.
Since it is so popular…I am going to blame Gay Marriage.
pleasant dreams

I’ve legally done more to harm the sanctity of marriage than gay people getting married…so I will not be blaming them. 🙂
I blame myself. Usually with a mischievous grin when I do.
But for most of the bigger things, I run my potential stupidity past my wife. She’s pretty good at reeling me in and helping me see reason.
It’s always good to have a significant other to bounce things off.
Randy and I really need a grownup.
The only time in my life I ever made a good decision was when I decided to do the exact opposite of whatever I was planning to do. This is how I ended up with my awesome second husband, rather than a carbon copy of my idiot first.
I make terrible life choices when left to my own devices. I’m going to start a reality show.
That’s a great reality show. I have tons of material for you if you start to run out.
I can’t even make decisions. I put everything off until the last possible second and someone else decides. Unless it’s a decision about someone else’s life… then I’m happy to make it.
hahah..i feel you. I like making other people’s decisions as well
