Waiting

Who likes to wait?  I sure don't.  I guess that's why I'm impulsive and fat!  See Countdown blog if your memory fails you like mine does.

I've read articles that say to take a book or project with you if you find yourself "waiting."  People tend to calm themselves if they are doing something versus just sitting and stewing while say in a waiting room.  The very same office you called and made an appointment and you've been sitting there stewing for over an hour!!!!!  I better go find a project; I'm starting to stew.  Maybe I'll make a pot of stew.  It's cold in my parts of the woods.

What if you are waiting for a package you ordered?  Companies and delivery services have taken care of that.  You can pay extra for next day service....unless you are the USPS.  I hear they are canceling next day service permanently.  Hmmm  Better get my Christmas gifts mailed in November or even October next year.

Which brings me to the subject of gifts.  Nobody likes to wait anymore so we purchase things we want right away.  Who can wait till Christmas?  My mom used to tell me "put it on your Christmas list."  Well, knowing me as you all know me now, WHO CAN WAIT TILL CHRISTMAS???/ I want it now!  Oh I'm so impulsive.  It's sounding like an excuse, right?  <wink>

My kids couldn't wait to move some place where it snowed.  Guess what?  We did.  Guess where they are now?  Moved south!!!  Story of my life. 

I'm not complaining; although it does sound like it.  It's just that I've been house cleaning and that puts me in a bad mood.  When Girl #2 was 3 years old, a little boy in her Pre-K class bothered the dickens out of her.  Every day she would get in the car after school and say "Joey put me in a bad mood, Momma."  Every day!!!  I still smile and laugh about that.  House cleaning puts me in a bad mood, Grainiacs!  My sister-in-law and I had notices printed and framed that says "A clean house is a sign of a wasted life."  My life has been full....just look at my house!  My broom is patiently waiting in the kitchen so I best not keep it waiting.

Here are some photos of yesterday.  Happy Snow Days and keep warm.  Make a pot of stew or sweep or stew and sweep.  It's your call.

Go Longhorns!

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas....not really!
