Do-Overs!!


I don't do "Do-Overs" If I don't do something right the first time, chances are it's going to be worse if I have to do it all over again. I don't understand how some people will do a big project and look at it and say, "That's not quite right, I'll do it over." I don't have that kind of patience. I am thinking of this as I am sitting here copying pictures for a family album, If I do something that doesn't look good to me, my frustration level is going to be so high that the "Do-Over" may be worse. I remember 9th grade in Home-Ec (Yes, I took Home-Ec, but not voluntarily) we were to make aprons, yes aprons! a piece of cloth with ties! For goodness sake! Who could mess that up? Moi! that's who!
The teacher kept telling me to "Do It Over!" every time I made a crooked seam. I think this scarred me for life. Any work with needle and thread is a traumatic experience for me.
I will never have the Great American Novel published because the rewrites would kill me.
It's a good thing I don't believe in reincarnation, I'd hate to have God have to "Do me over".
