One of those days....

Have you ever had one of those days where everything that comes out of your mouth seems to have an attitude all of its own? You wish you could grab those words, stick them back in your mouth, and swallow them? Yeah, ALL day long I have been saying things that sounded really good and intelligent while in my head, and once beyond my lips sound...well....rather moronic. How do you get past a day such as this? Do you decide never to put your hand up in class again? Never to attempt that joke that you always forget the punchline to? Never to say the first thing that enters your mind ever, ever again? I have found today, that one remedy is to eavesdrop upon a conversation where someone is expressly confessing something that they said in class that may have been much worse and more embarrassing then what you had said in your class. That will make you feel better. Guaranteed. But, probably not the most loving response to dealing with the shame.
