listicle - things I wish I could delete

Ten things that I wish I could delete, in other words, things that I am sorry for.

I'm going back kinda far here.  I mean, I might as well...

1. I'm sorry that I bit my sisters Ali and Indi on the forehead.  More than one time.  Don't ask.

2. I'm sorry that I threw my sister Jen's Puff the Magic Dragon record down the stairs on purpose and broke it.

3. I'm sorry that I told my sixth grade teacher Mr. Potts that I hated him.  Ah, nah.  I'm not sorry about that, he was a jerk.

4. I'm sorry that I beat Patrick Longthon up on the way home from school sometimes.

5. I'm sorry that I was mean to this kid Andy when he made (and gave) me a Valentine in 5th grade.

6. I'm sorry that I messed things up with a high school boyfriend.  I have a ton of guilt.

7. I'm sorry that I didn't take school seriously enough, high school and college.  Absolute regret.

8. I'm sorry that I had somewhat of a screaming fight with Kara one Easter, one Christmas and one high school Graduation.  That girl knew exactly the button to push to get me to lose it.  I shouldn't have gotten so upset.

9. I'm sorry for the times that I spanked my son Alex in frustration.

10. I'm sorry that I threw an Allen wrench at my husband Alex when I was hormonal and pregnant.  I missed on purpose.  I swear I am not violent.

There are so many more things that I am sorry for, things that I wish I could delete or at least do differently!  I know that I learned important lessons with most of these things, so in a way, even though there were some tough moments, I guess they taught me stuff that I needed to learn.  

It just stinks that most of those lessons were learned at the expense of someone else.  Anyone care to share a moment you wish you could do over?  Come on, I feel all exposed here.
