Virtuous

You read my blog. You know I'm not talking about me.No, this is about something much more important. We are not moving to Texas. It sucks. I could expand on that, but why? Just suffice it to say it ain't happening. The most important word to add here is: YET.

We were so excited when we got the news that hubby had gotten the job. We weren't as close as I'd like to be. We were still a couple of hours from my sister and about 3-3 1/2 from my mom. But that's alot closer than four states. I pictured cookouts and holidays and my beautiful nieces spending as much time with us as they could. I pictured seeing my friends, many of whom I have reconnected with lately and am very excited about that. We even found a house. 20+ acres, 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, 2 bonus rooms, and 2 ponds. We were gonna get chickens and goats, maybe a milk cow. We were thinking about buying 2-3 more towers and starting an organic co-op.

I am not a patient person. After four months of delay and more delay on the horizon, it was fish or cut bait. We cut bait. Sometimes, you just have to. We have not given up. Hubby is even looking in (shudder, shudder) Oklahoma. That's big for this Texas girl. That would put us closer still to Mermie. We just aren't looking right now. Right now, there is more overtime on the horizon than we can think about and the very real possibility of paying off some bills. That would make our move so much easier. Because we are moving one day. Just not today. I need to be patient.

Who am I kidding? I don't know what patience is. I'd rather jump in and fix it, get it done, quit wasting time. Wasting time is like wasting money. There isn't enough of either so I'd rather not. They say patience is a virtue. It's just not a virtue I have.
