Since I started the new "Family Blog" I have decided to use this blog to rant about things that are probably unimportant.
Today's topic: Patience.
Of which I have none. When it comes to my job (with students anyway) I am full of it. When it comes to children in general, I got that. When it comes to my personal life it goes out the window. Vacation, I want it now. New purchase, I want it now. I am a planner. If I want something I fixate on it. I research it like crazy until I know everything about it. If I need a doctor's appointment, I don't want to wait three weeks for the appointment--I am thinking about it NOW.
{And it makes me feel better to admit all that.}
So I am looking for comments. Something to debate my feelings. Some advice to better my life. Some soothing words to tell me that it is okay to be like that. Or a swift kick in the butt. Whatever comes to your mind. Don't hold back!! Who knows...maybe you will learn something too.

"Patience is the ability to keep control over the impulse that rises suddenly when something disagreeable happens. It is not just disregard of or indifference to life’s daily irritations or upsetting incidents, but a real control of self, of one’s feelings and impulses. On the contrary, impatience is the lack of self-control, and leads to other and greater faults. It can easily grow into anger, irritability, harsh words, unpleasantness towards others, etc. Many a serious quarrel starts with impatience over little annoyances or inconveniences. "
