Lately I've been much better about it. I doing a lot more living in the present, mostly because I can't figure out what I want to happen next. So, I'm avoiding dealing with my uncertainty by focusing on the day I'm in. It's a new and unusual feeling for me...MCM Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10588793352268224508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6612476334885251012.post-5403866711770156992010-05-24T15:39:25.051-07:002010-05-24T15:39:25.051-07:00My "can't waits" are usually the lit...My "can't waits" are usually the little stuff.<br /><br />I CAN'T WAIT for the 24 finale tonight!Pam @ herbieontherun.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08198123992152626641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6612476334885251012.post-4103948030698402432010-05-24T14:17:41.759-07:002010-05-24T14:17:41.759-07:00I'm waiting for the blue moon.I'm waiting for the blue moon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6612476334885251012.post-35790589902462629242010-05-24T13:33:44.878-07:002010-05-24T13:33:44.878-07:00As a military wife I feel like I am waiting my lif...As a military wife I feel like I am waiting my life away.........<br /><br />I try to take control but feel like I have none so I wait. I hate waiting. HATE it. Maybe one day I will wake up and be tired of waiting...I kind of decided to live each day and appreciate it because I found by being excited for things in the future I was not only wishing my life away but my son's too. That sounds crazy but when I say "I can't wait until my hubby comes home." I think about it and realize my son will be 5 then and I have just wished 9 months of his life away. I want him to stay small and and cute and silly forever...so the "can't wait" started to annoy me. So I am working on patience and enjoying today...<br /><br />great post!

This is a recent change. I weaned my 4th son a couple of months ago and it has been so strange to realize that my baby and little fella days are in the past. It went by far too quickly. I have evolved into a stage of motherhood and all that entails.<br /><br />I have also realized that when I wait so hard for something to come or an event to get here, most of the time when it does happen, the intensity is so great that I am left thinking "WTF was I thinking!"<br /><br />Its hard being chill though and I have to work at it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15169460908351248051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6612476334885251012.post-15526304870479791132010-05-24T11:34:29.080-07:002010-05-24T11:34:29.080-07:00You sure do have some of the more entertaining and...You sure do have some of the more entertaining and interesting post out there. <br /><br />I cant wait to be called an Iron Man.Big Daddy Dieselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868041775049514011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6612476334885251012.post-49304717167208825062010-05-24T11:13:06.281-07:002010-05-24T11:13:06.281-07:00Found myself asking myself a similar question this...Found myself asking myself a similar question this weekend with regards to signing up for my next marathon. Working through my knee issues I kept saying I'd wait until I felt like it was going to recover. Lately I'm feeling some heel pain that is most likely plantar fasciitis starting to creep in, so now I'm talking myself into waiting to see what that is going to do before I signup. Not sure why I keep creating hurdles for myself when I really enjoy pushing myself in training, and know I want to run another marathon. Guess I don't want to commit and then get disappointed. Time to signup and git 'er done.Evolving Through Runninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00708963226692830313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6612476334885251012.post-55215840174703375292010-05-24T10:54:17.693-07:002010-05-24T10:54:17.693-07:00I can't wait to run a 100 mile race, maybe we ...I can't wait to run a 100 mile race, maybe we could team up on that one! I'm like you things just can't happen fast enough, but of course many things need to be aged in order to be extra tasty or tender, sometimes I use this to remind myself that patience is an OK thing to have.
