Gig that darn frog

So every single thing I have taken up to knit lately, I have had to frog at least once. I was going on my merry way with a Baby Surprise Jacket and had to frog a couple of rows, but I was still happy. Now I find that I have to frog even more! Arggh!!! I want to just knit something I have never had this many problems with knitting in my entire time doing it. Where is my brain? I just knit and knit and then stop to read the pattern and whoops I did it again. Am I getting over confident and not reading the pattern enough? Obviously so. I just want to read the directions once and go! I am hating this constant referring back. Yet, I am loving my BSJ! I love the idea of it and I LOVE the way the yarn is knitting up in the pattern. Because of this darn frog I want to stop what I messed up on and start afresh with something untainted. This leads to LOTS of UFO's. Problems, problems, problems! I think I need to think about what this says about my character while using some Malabrigo to begin knitting a Clapotis. ;)
