Smart Things

I've done some really dumb things in my life, but I've also done some really smart things. Here's a short list of my smart things:

• I bought carpet which is the color of dirt for my whole house.


• I taught and required my kids to begin doing their own laundry at the age of 12.


• I put lots of mulched areas in my yard - so much less mowing.


• I gave up accounting for my job in the computer industry.


• I got out of an abusive marriage right after the birth of my first child.


• I took both my school district and my state's Medicaid office to court - and won

And now just to balance that list out a bit, here's one really dumb thing I've done recently:

• I bought a car with an off-white interior.

So how about you? What are some of the smart things you have done in life?
