There are times that I look at some things I did in the past, a thought of childhood memory or maybe something I did last week.

Has anyone ever told you that you don't think before you act or you do before you say something that is told to me quite often? My mom told me this during high school, my friends told me that in the military, and now my wife says it (not that often). At the time of these confrontations, I do not think that I am wrong in any way, in fact I stand firm on what I may have made a decision on. Then a week or month later, I indeed come to the realization that I was totally righteous in my decision making.

This seems to be a real problem with me at times and in some cases it is a daily struggle, something that I must work on. I am getting better, I must say.

Last week I had a discussion about paying off my 2002 Mazda Protégé5 with my wife. I stated that I had $2900.00 set aside. My wife said that it was something that I should consider, something that I need to think about due to other bills that we had upcoming. I stated that I had some new renewals coming in off my website sportsrant.com and that income can and will cover those bills. I swear she stated that if I thought that was okay that I could go ahead and pay off the car.

So Monday night at family dinner, I expressed that I had gone go Capitol One Bank and had a cashiers check made out to Mazda American Credit for the amount of the payoff and that I sent it in, bam, the car is mine, finally. She immediately went on the defensive and stated that I did not think before I made that decision, that I should have called her first. Man did I feel like an idiot, and Amazing Idiot!

Maybe I was not wrong in my decision at the time; it actually made me feel good. I tried to express to her that we could take the monthly payment which was being made and put it towards our other, upcoming bills. Boy was I wrong!

Maybe she just makes me feel like that, maybe I should have placed simple 5 second phone call. Was I wrong in my decision, shoot you tell me!
