Waiting for DH, he's finally done with his jobs in Madtown. Then he starts here tomorrow....

One of my biggest pet peeves are when people are late... even five minutes. Growing up my father had me every other weekend, usually picking me up around 6pm on Friday. After school I would pack my stuff, read some or play, and then wait by the window.
Often times the clock would ring six times and he still wouldn't be there. Granted he always showed up but usually late, and sometimes up to an hour. I hated that... the wait, I wanted to be with him and having to wait longer was excrutiating.

I always try to be early to appointments, whereas DH takes a more casual approach. Granted we're rarely really late, but even 10 minutes to me is too late. When we tell friends we'll be there at 5pm, but don't get there until 5:30 I always feel bad and apologize right away.

I realize situations do arise, but that's what phones/email are for. And if you just lost track of time to me that says that you don't respect me enough to care. I know it may sound simplistic, but hey that's how I see it.

You may be asking who did what to cause this tirade... no one... I was just thinking of how I have to wait for DH because I have no set time as to when he will be up!!!

A squirrel just ran up a tree, birds are constantly flying by, and I saw a bunny about five minutes ago. I love our house and yard. The other day two squirrels were chasing each other all around, then suddenly they stopped about two feet apart. The one in front had to go potty and the second one waited until he was done to begin the chase again... very cute.

I did both coats of the light green yesterday, and I think I may get away with only doing another coat for the medium and not the dark... so hopefully.

More raspberries must be picked today. I also want to go to the library and get new cards, and pick up a phone book.
I may call BookWorld to see if they are still hiring....
