Waiting, Waiting, Waiting

I think one of the hardest things to do is wait. And we Americans are not very good at waiting. When we want something, we want it now. That is why we have credit cards right? You don't need to wait until you have the money to buy something. Just buy it now and pay for it later!

Waiting at a stop light..... We hate that too. And so does the person behind you, especially if you don't go as soon as the light turns. I mean 2-3 seconds makes a huge difference in your day!

Waiting behind a bicycle on the road. That is a tough one too. I have had enough names thrown at me, gestures thrown my way, and honks, just because I am on my bicycle and they have to go around me. When they should be thanking me, I am saving the oil for them!

Waiting in line at the grocery store. I mean we all know we have better things to do than that!

Waiting for a page to load....now, that is almost unbearable! Thank God for high speed internet!

Waiting for the water to boil. Just need to stop watching it!

Waiting for someone to call you, or email you with very important information. Now, that is the worst. And of course that is where I am these days. Waiting, waiting, waiting, for that phone call, for that email, that tells us we can move forward with this move to Bent Creek. Waiting, waiting.....

I think it is so hard because we can't affect it. We can't change it. We have no power. We are at someone else's mercy. And that mercy is in the hands of Bank of America right now and that is a very scary thing indeed! Sometimes I don't even care if it is really going to happen or not, I just want the waiting to be over. I want the unsettledness to end. I want certainty, not uncertainty.

Maybe if I was not an American, I wouldn't care about waiting. I would just take a seat and enjoy.

But I am an American, and hate the

waiting, waiting, waiting.....
