Hurry up & wait!

I learned this game well when my husband was in the military.  Plans would be made & then changed & changed again.  So you'd hurry up to finalize things for the initial plans & then wait to see what they changed to.  It is one of my least favorite games.  EVER!

Alas, this is where I am today.  Hurrying up & waiting to see what changes come about.  Waiting to see where we find land at to purchase, finalizing house plans to fit the landscape so those can be ordered, waiting...waiting...waiting while we save up money to build said house.  Hoping the plans in my head go as planned.  UGH!  Have I mentioned that I dislike this game. 

And yet, "good things come to those who wait."  Patience, I admit, is a virtue that I do not have.  I am very much a "see now, buy now" type person.  I am a work in progress, so I keep telling myself.  HA!

All that said, I'm not complaining about the wait.  Certainly not the wait for the house.  Other randomness however, I do wish would speed up.  I keep waiting for a email & checking it 50 times a day to see if it has arrived.  Nothing yet.  Waiting & watching for an email is much like watching the grass grow.  It doesn't speed anything up & starts to take a toll on your mind. 

Now admittedly, I really did watch the grass grow at our first home.  We had this crazy yard that we didn't really ever smooth out, with ruts & humps, and dirt.  Just DIRT!  No grass.  We'd plant grass & wait (patiently, mind you) for little sprouts of grasslings to grow from the mud.  It was so exciting to see little tufts of grass sporadically around our yard.  So yep, I really have watched the grass grow & it was EXCITING!!  :)  Poor old yard, pretty much stayed a dirt patch with few splotches of green here & there. 

And that is today.  Hurry up & wait...& wait...& wait.  One thing that won't wait...sleep.

Goodnight!
