Don't think me irreverent

because of the title I've chosen for this blog.  I don't mean to suggest that I have the patience of Job.  In fact, quite the opposite is true.  My mom likes to say when I was young, and I had my mind set on something, "I wanted it either right now or yesterday."  Over the past 30 something years, not much has changed.  Let me make it clear here that my wants are not monetary.  They generally involve my family . . . my children more specifically. Children, just by their inherent nature, demand patience.  It's an interesting dilemma that I find myself in.

I've been working on this virtue.  I've been working on it long and hard.  To be honest with you, it's not the work that's killing me, it's the WAITING.

Are you serious? You are not going to let anyone read this? This is what I need, more than anything. I love the fact that you are starting a blog.

Oh Jodi!!! I am so thrilled that you have started a blog. I have admired you from a distance for over a year...since we met. I instantly loved you and knew you were someone I wanted to know. I'm excited to get to know you better. Have fun on this ride.

Thanks for letting Brandon share your link. I, like Kara Jayne, have admired you except it goes way back to when we were kids! And the patience thing - I get that! Waiting is the worst part! Good luck!
