Patiently Waiting

Where is my time going?  I find myself spending more time running around in my vehicle, playing taxi to my children.  Usually more times than not I am kept waiting, waiting for football practice to be over, waiting for the dismissal bell to ring, waiting in long lines at the store.  It is in those times of waiting that I sneak in some reading time.  I make sure I always have a book handy.

I did not want to put this book down, lucky for me it only has 148 pages.   I could so relate to this story for two simple reasons, I was a teenager at one time and now I am raising teenagers, three to be exact.   As parents we tend to forget that we were young once, and had moments when we thought our parents were the worst ever.  Time usaually allows for a change of heart as we grow older, wiser and find ourselves dealing with our own teens.
