I'm Sorry!

I'm sorry....

Brunos: For stealing that pack of Juicy Fruit gum when I was in kindergarten. But Jay B. won a pack of gum in Spanish class that day and I really wanted to win, so it was only fair that I got some too! Unfortunately, my conscious got the best of me and for YEARS after, every time I'd find a quarter or dollar lying on the ground in that store, I'd give it to the cash register lady. You'd be surprised how much money is on the ground right under the register... I think I payed for that dumb pack of gum about 287 times.

Mom: for making you redo my pony tail 195,000 times until ALL of the lumps were out. You just had all of those bumps on the top that I thought were HORRIBLE and I was so much better at it at the ripe old age of 5!

Miranda: For hiding your mini troll doll behind my closet door and telling you that you had lost it. I really liked the troll and didn't have one. Eventually mom found it anyways and gave it back to you, much to my dismay.

Wolf (my childhood dog): For digging up hundreds of worms and putting them all over you then taking you in the house and showing mom that you had "worms"...

Katie: for running outside when I was mad at you, rubbing dirt on and scratching my arm up and then telling mom you did it to me. She knew better anyways.

Self: for inflicting pain on self trying to get Katie in trouble.

Scott: for putting that green trash can on your head and making you sing "oh Christmas tree", but you did it over and over, and it was just too funny.

Self: for wearing bobby socks over my tights to church for that year. Oh how ugly it was, but ALL the other girls did it!

Mom: for pitching fits until you let me wear the stupid socks over my tights. How mortified you must have been that your daughter looked like a hobo.

Mimmie: for faking sick all of those days just so you'd come get me from middle school when I knew Mom was substituting. But you made it too much fun, taking me to Boaz shopping or making me fried chicken and ice cream...

Gerrard (kid I went to school with): for my terrible uncoordinated attempt to kick you in the shin. I ended up kicking your trumpet that you had on the ground and broke the finger loop thing off of it. I still feel bad about it. But you had made fun of me for being on the dance team/flags, so I had to get you back.

Katie: For my attempt to hit the ball you were pitching but ended up hitting you in the eye with the bat... but you were standing too close to me and I am terribly uncoordinated and VERY bad at sports. Miraculously, you escaped a black eye, which was good, because the Easter bunny was coming that night and I was genuinely afraid I wouldn't get a basket!

Jarom: for ridding your giant glass goblet of your first band sticker, but I had a vision of how it would work in my home decor, and the sticker just didn't fit. I didn't know at the time it was the FIRST and ONLY sticker you had... However, the goblet now looks great with the pretty glass stones in it!

Addie: for the embarrassment that I'm sure you'll endure from me over the years. Heaven knows, if karma is real, I've got tons coming to me from the things I said to Mom in front of people... ah... the innocence of youth.

Mom: for being such a brat over my clothes... you'd try to surprise me with a new outfit and I'd pitch a big fit that I didn't like it, and now I feel about 2 inches tall. I dread the day when Addie no longer thinks that the clothes I choose for her are cute.

Whew, that feels better. If you haven't done this post yet, you should try it!

HA! Dear Beth....

Im sorry for going up to Ms. Nelson, your first grade teacher, and telling her you hated her guts, simply because i was angry at you.

Im sorry for getting up at five in the morning on a school day so i could steal all your clothes and and wear all your makeup, But you always looked so much cooler and prettier than me!

Sorry about those times you bought a shirt, and i went out and bought the exact same thing...then that day that we showed up to school wearing the exact same shirt. That was awkward...

Im sorry for making you eat all my beans on my plate so we could go to the fair :)

Haha the Oh christmas tree thing was priceless! I think we have a picture of that somewhere.... :)Love you!
