“Hurry up and WAIT”

OMG for sure if you are in the military or married to someone in the military you know what this phrase means. I sat here this evening waiting. Oh yeah waiting for an email. Now I know the man is calling on Sunday right…so I don’t have to sit and wait for the phone to ring. That’s great but tonight I waited on an email. OMG go figure.

Let me tell ya what I have decided about “Hurry up and WAIT” its EVERYWHERE. I mean if you’re a mom you are always HURRYING them along to get ready, to get moving, to finish homework, and to get dressed after the football game and in the car ASAP…..BUT we end up WAITING. OMG do we WAIT. Who takes 30 minutes to remove a football uniform? Then we have potty training. Another “Hurry up and WAIT” thing in life. Do I even need to explain this one…NOPE ya all know it stinks. I guess I could go on and on listing all the “Hurry up and WAIT” moments in my life but realized I would probably EXCEED the bandwidth allowed for my blog so I thought maybe I could list a few things that DON’T fall into this category.

So THINKING…….STILL thinking….and hhhhhhmmmmmm yet STILL thinking. So after sitting her for a good 30 minutes I have decided that this whole “Hurry up and WAIT” attitude of our military life so shouldn’t one surprise me and two shock me I mean that is my life right? So if that’s the case why do I find this mentality so HARD to accept with regards to ORDERS, PCS movers, planes to arrive, I mean again the list could go on couldn’t it now? LOL. Do we do this to ourselves? I mean do we set ourselves up to be NUTS? Hhhhhhhhhmmmmmm maybe. Maybe in the overall scheme of things we really are NUTS? No, there’d be way TOO many of us NOT on meds to explain it that way. So what does that leave? I mean do we need to just have SOMETHING to yell about? Or is it a way to FOCUS our fear of the unknown elsewhere (oh that’s too Psychologically deep for me tonight to even process…LOL) so we’re gonna go with I’m NUTS tonight LOL and I am ANGRY that there is NOTHING I am in control of sometimes in life. Back to the ORIGINAL thought of EVERYTHING being “Hurry up and WAIT” in my life.

Guess I better find away to accept this attitude in my life and stop complaining about it or hell I may need meds and therapy LOL. No that’s its I’m gonna EMBRACE this, and smile….yeah JUST as soon as he has ORDERS so I can PRETEND I know when he’s coming HOME LOL. Anyway gang, hang in there, I just wanted you all to know you aren’t ALONE in this “Hurry up and WAIT” thing we call LIFE.
