The Waiting Is The Hardest Part

Most of the time I have a reputation for being pretty patient. This was not something that was acquired overnight. Between waiting out family court sessions (which in some cases could take all day), getting stuck in airports-my former record of 8 hours was topped just recently when I ended up spending close to 10 hours, OVERNIGHT in the Philly airport (which plays this deafening terrible musak over and over 24/7), or just simply waiting for everyday things-lines, parking spaces etc.

Currently I am waiting for the Family Clerk person to come back from lunch so I can file a motion for something pertaining to the case I have going on right now. The actual filing will most likely take all of 5 minutes and had I been led that way to begin with I wouldn't be writing this now, but rather sailing on home with all my Westchseter errands run for the day. Alas, lunch occurs and here I wait-as usual, again. On the plus side they have Wi-Fi!

My whole life is a waiting game-John Lennon once wrote "life is what happens when we're busy making other plans" and this is so true. My children's childhood-at least most of it-flew by while my ex was working on his plans. That is the hardest thing for me to get past-even Gabby-my youngest-despite losing her father has had a normal life. That is all I ever wanted for my children-a normal life. It's starting to finally happen-now we once again wait, and wait...and see.
