Hurry Up...

And wait.And WaitAnd Wait.If there is one thing that I know for sure about me...I can do.Ask me to do anything, and I'll jump at the chance... a bit too much on a few too many occasions (much to the chagrin of my hubby and my sanity... but that's another story!)It seems that as times when I am runningand runningand runningGod has a way of grabbing me by my hairand pulling me into the waiting game.I call it the waiting game, because I am convinced that when He needs a little comic relief, he grabs a few angels over and says, "Hey, wanna see something really funny?  Let's mess with Jen just a little bit... whatch how crazy we can make her with just a couple of tweaks..."  there is no other way in the world I can explain our blast into parenthood with twins... (that alone provided a whole Heavenly Host of comic relief for a good two years, I'm sure)... but I digress.The waiting game.For the past 6 months things have been a wee bit crazy here.  Crazy in both good and bad ways... I have had two books that have been swimming around in my brain for years finally make a launch onto paper and got things really rolling on those.  I got accepted to speak at an upcoming education week... something that has been a dream/goal of mine for years (crazy dream to have, I know!).And also, making 'family' decisions... of whether or not to add to our brood.  (Some days I want another one right now!  Every once in a while, though, I wonder if there is a return policy on the ones we already have...).So for the past 6 months, I have been going crazy writing, planning, and working like crazy to make everything come together.  (in between cleaning, and cooking, and diaper changing... you get the idea!).... and finally got my big parts done on the book front - then entered the editing/artisting/graphic designing arena, where I got to hand off my precious manuscript with a kiss and a hug...and wait.and wait.and wait.And in the mean time, starting down the fertility medication road again... where I get to...(you guessed it...) waitand waitand wait.And I have learned that I do not like the waiting place.I do not like it at all!So as I sit in the final hours, waiting for the final proof from the graphic designer...Don't mind me as I pace.and stressand wring my handsand check my email about a bazillion times.and realize that I am so not a good waiter.... so, what are you waiting for??
