I have said and done alot of stupid things in my life. Sometimes I like to look back at some of them and laugh, but some make me cringe when I think of them.
A couple of years ago, I went in for a job interview at a Alzheimer's Care Center. The first time I saw my boss I couldn't believe how beautiful her eyes were. They almost didn't look human. The first thing I said to her was, "Are those you're eyes?" I knew the second I said it how stupid it was. I stood there like an idiot and just giggled. She said, "No ones ever asked me that before."
Surprisingly enough, she gave me the job. It helped that I had twenty one years experience taking care of people with Alzheimer's Disease. I worked twelve hours a day, taking care of twenty patients. Then I would go home and take care of my Mom, who also had Alzheimer's. It was killing me, physically and mentally. I realized after working there a year, that I was just too old to take care of so many people.
I quit and I got another job, taking care of a ninety-one year old woman in her home. You wouldn't believe the relief that was on my poor aching back. My Boss was a fifty-two year old man who I disagreed with on just about everything. For the first six months that I worked there, we argued constantly. I would go home angry everyday.
Then one day we were arguing about something and when I looked in his eyes, my whole universe turned upside down. I felt my blood rushing to my head and everything just stopped. From one second to the other, I had fallen in love with him. I had never experienced anything like it before. From that moment on, when we looked at each other we would both turn red.
At the time it had been four years since I had even thought of being with a man. I had been deeply hurt, and thought that I never wanted to be put through that heartache again. I had blocked all my emotions and all my creativity, A few days after I fell in love, I started writing again!
I have never been one to flirt. I'm not good at it. Everytime I've tried to flirt, it comes out sounding ridiculas. A week after I fell in love with him, we were in the living room talking to my patient, I looked over at him and thought, Damn, he really is goodlooking! The next thing I know Mrs. B is laughing, and when I looked at Mike he was red as hell. OMG!! I said it out loud!
Whenever he talked to me after that, I could barely hear his words unless I really concentrated. I couldn't help but stare at his lips, I wanted to kiss them so much. He asked me a question once, and I said yes without hearing what he said. I found out two days later that I had agreed to give up two of my days to another girl. Damn!
Mrs. B had 120 cows, and Mike took care of them everyday. Whenever he went outside to get on the tractor I would watch him from the kitchen window. He has the nicest butt I've ever seen and I watched it every chance I got. Occasionally he would catch me looking out the window at him, which always embarrassed the hell out of me.
One day when he got up from the table, he asked me "Why do you always moan when I stand up?" Oh shit!! I didn't realize I was moaning. It's just the sight of his tight ass drove me crazy!
That's one of the cringe moments I was talking about. I always seem to remember them late at night, when I'm trying to go to sleep. Just like right now, it's 12:30 a.m. and I have to go to work in six hours.
I have just given you a small sample of some of the stupid things I've said in the last few years. I'm sure there will be plenty more before the year is over. I am curious though, what are some of the stupid things you have said? Do they keep you up at night?
