If I could change one thing about my personality, I would love to be more patient. My impatience gets on MY nerves, much less poor Marty's!
Slow drivers make me want to just knock them off the road. People who STOP to make a right hand turn on to another street, or people who don't wait their turn at 4-way intersections... uggg... don't even get me started.
And it gets worse than that. I can get the dumbest idea in my head, like how all of a sudden I have GOT to have the newest hand sanitizer from Bath and Body (an hour away) or I get my Hallmark Gold Crown reward check in the mail for $2.00 or I decide that Colby has to have a new outfit for an event two weeks away, and I want to go to Hot Springs RIGHT THEN. THAT DAY. And Marty will say something stupid like, "Why don't we wait until tomorrow and then we can get hair appointments, too?" Because!! My hands need to be sanitized!! Don't you get it???? And I will sull up and be mad, and end up getting my way like a spoiled brat. I don't know why I am this way. I can assure you that it is NOT because I got my way growing up... NEVER. Maybe thats why. Now that I am an adult, I want to make up for all those years of never getting my way... HA!
The latest thing is that my friend Precie emailed me and said that Family Fun magazine actually published Elizabeth's picture and my letter. Can you believe it????? I have been beside myself. Of course, here in Podunkredneckville, it is not out on the stands yet. I have made a trip to Hot Springs, one to Little Rock and THREE TRIPS a freaking DAY to Walmart. And that stupid boy with that stupid red ball on the March cover keeps grinning that stupid grin at me, as if to say, "April isn't here yet!! haha!! See you this afternoon, you loser!" When I made the 49th trip to Walmart today, I just got so aggravated. My aunt said, "Well, it looks like it is not out yet." and I wanted to scream, "NO SHIT!!" since this was the 57th store we stopped at... But I didn't say anything.
So my thinking is, there has to be a way to make some sort of Patience Pill... I mean seriously, there are pills for sad people, pills for manic people, pills for fat people, pills for people with penile problems, pills for forgetfulness, pills for concentration, pills for people who are shy in social situations... why isn't there a pill that will make me more patient and kind?

Oh my gosh I think you might be my long lost twin sister. I am the exact same way!! If I think of something I need or want to do, I need to do it that very second. If I remember I didn't run the dishwasher I will sit at work and think about it all day and wish I was home. I also hate slow drivers, is it too much to ask to do the speed limit or just a few miles over?? I mean come on!
Also...I get really bratty when I can't do what I want, when I want it, and I NEVER EVER got my way as a kid.
I absolutely love your blog. I read it every day. Congrats on your cutie daughter making it into the Magazine, that's awesome!
If you find a patience pill please let me know!
LOL I know how you feel Natalie. On another note, that is FREAKIN Awesome about Elizabeth. CONGRATS!!!
I'll buy one now!
I'm impatient, too. LOL and I feel your pain!
Your little girl is just beautiful. What a lucky mommy you are! I can't wait to find that magazine so I can buy it and tell everyone I know that woman!!!! Well, virtually, I do.
Do you mean that people stopping before turning right on red annoys you? Because here in PA, it's a law that you have to stop first before making a right turn on red. So maybe you could cut those people some slack.
However, I have ALWAYS been someone whose money and coupons burn holes right in her pockets. In fact, here's an example. My friends and I were talking about bras, and someone recommended to me Cacique bras, which are sold at Lane Bryant. So I was talking at work about how I didn't know what size to order because I didn't know how to measure my bra size. One of the nurses I work with watched the Oprah show on this and taught me how. As soon as work was over, I had to drive right home and order bras on-line. Why wait until I have time to go to the mall and try them on? Oprah said to do it this way! She must be right!
Of course, the down side of shopping on-line is that the bras haven't gotten here yet. And waiting for them is paining me something fierce...
no!! Oops!! it doesn't bother me when people stop before turning right on RED because if they didn't they might get smashed!! It's the stopping before turning into... say the grocery store parking lot when there is obviously no one in the way and you can see that.
See, I am an inpatient hateful wench. But I don't want anyone harmed because i need to get to the daycare 1.2 seconds earlier!! ROFL!!
If you find that pill will you send me some?
I don't like it when people stop while turning right either when they can do so legally.
It's called Xanax girlfriend! Tell your Dr. to hook you up! LMAO!!!

Congrats again to Elizabeth! I hope you get a copy soon.
LOL! Nat, you crack me up!
And how lame is it that I'm excited to have gotten an honorable mention in your blog for being the first one to see the magazine! LOL! And thank goodness I know other people have seen it in person so I'm not insane! :)
LOL! Now just don't hassle me for NOT driving more than 5 mph over the speed limit!
Hey man.. i thought it was the weed that calmed people down...
kidding.
