So, my husband and I are sitting quietly last night, I’m knitting and he’s reading, when he comes out with this GEM…the number one cause of brain damage…overreacting! First thing that goes through my head…”Great! I’m toast!”
As much as I hate to admit it, I am the queen of overreacting. I don’t mean to be and even really try hard not to be, but it seems I am just destined to overreact…to almost everything. Kids leave the lights on…I overreact. Kids leave their clothes all over the bathroom floor…I overreact. Husband leaves his socks all over the house…I overreact.
Wait a minute! I seem to see a pattern here!
I tend to overreact when the folks in my house keep doing the things I ask them nicely (the first 4 or 5 times) not to do, over and over again. Hmph! If that’s the case, I don’t have to feel quite so guilty for overreacting and can now place the “blame” for my loss of brain function on their shoulders! Wow…I feel so much better now…so glad I thought that one through!
