Major Fail

I had a major fail today and made a total a$$ out of myself.  Now mind you, years ago, I would have taken that in stride without so much as a shake of my head, but, as I grow older, I am trying so hard to also grow up...mature...become a gracious woman...that is, until I get behind the wheel of my car and become this crazy woman.  Where is this coming from???

The young man was flagging, poorly, like he had never done it before and he drove me to madness...I said things today I haven't said for a long time and it's so embarrassing to me.  Of course, nothing was said to him, just me acting up in front of my husband and then letting a few other people know how mad I became at the guy.

He was flagging traffic for a race inside a little town-why? I have no idea why-they would have had it in town, but they did and he let 20-30 cars come from one end of town and would not let but one car at a time go from our lane...I was incensed by the time we got where we were going, because, I could have thrown a rock and hit the place we were heading for...UGGGGHHHH, I hate acting like that.

So, once more, some where down the road, I will come onto another waiting situation and the next time, I'm going to try to remember today and take it in stride, not act like a crazy person...Lord, I've had to ask You to forgive me...again...and I'm just sorry that I acted like that and that for that reason You had to bother with me today...Thank You...I will try not to act like that again, I promise!

And even though some people will see this, it makes me feel better to confess it and hopefully, someone else will learn from my mistake and not act like I did today...


take care, and thanks for stopping by!

  1. Ah, Marti, if we could all be born with the required wisdom, life would hold no surprises or lessons, I guess. That awful feeling we experience is part of the lesson. Yuck!

  2. That happens to all of us at one time or other. We simply reach the end of our rope. The good thing is you didn't berate him in person, and you recognize your mistake.

    1. Yes, it does and I am grateful to still be at a point where I do recognize my mistakes, I guess that is the only way we will change them...

    2. You poor thing--I can tell you feel so bad! But you know that we call lose our cool sooner or later. We're human. The person flagging messed up. Then you messed up. Simple as that. I bet a whole lot of other people messed up that day too. (Maybe even me!) ;-) Take care! We love you! --Sharyl
