i’d like to think that i’ve turned a new leaf (given the whole season of leaves and all) when it comes to being patient. i’m not a patient person by nature. i’m okay when sitting in traffic (living in so cal for 6 years will do that to you) or even waiting in lines (thanks to disneyland), but when it comes to waiting to hear back from people, i have a low tolerance. i’m a firm believer that you need to get back to people in a timely manner. even if you don’t have an answer, at least acknowledging their request and saying “i don’t have an answer for you yet” is worth millions in my book.
so i’ve received 21 emails today to my personal account – granted more than half of them were from facebook and about 7 of them were junk, but i’ve been checking my email incessantly EVERY 3 minutes hoping we will have heard something about the house… and it’s only tuesday. and we’re only 6 weeks into a process that could take at least 15!
it might be a long week (or maybe weeks, but i’m hoping not)…

Too bad you didn’t inherit my patience. I’ll always remember something I think you told a friend — “My mom has a big bucket of patience, but when it’s empty LOOK OUT!”
Let me dig into my bucket and sprinkle some patience on you today just like I sprinkled some on you before we went to a restaurant and we were going to have to wait for our food.
Get yourself a bucket — make it a BIG one!
