Patience,I had that once. Before all the dirty diapers and piles of laundry and dishes.
I am not exactly sure what happened to my patience I think maybe I lost that along with the extra 3 hours of sleep I used to get. You see I do have patience but they are 1 and 3 years old and after that I have nothing left for the world.

I had patience before a trip to the supermarket became an all day adventure. Before my life became one blur of another week of worry how I will get to the next. I had patience and the world is testing it. Or maybe I just never noticed it before. Maybe I just didn't care. Back when I was single and I wasn't on a tight budget and accompanied by a list longer then my arm that is lugging the grocery bag and sleeping toddler and shuffling to get my keys in the door.

I had patience before I had a husband that constantly takes right hand turns during every conversation so far off course I find myself getting frustrated because I have no idea what the hell he was talking about anymore.

I had patience before I knew what being a full time mom and housewife meant. Before people treated me like I sit at home and eat bon bons all day. That's me, poor jobless loser with to rug rats in tow. Before old friends of mine would say god I had such a stressful day and I would say me too,but they would some how find a way to invalidate my feelings because "well I don't stay home ever day like you I work"

That's okay I shrug it off
They have kids now and call me nonstop looking for sympathy because they are half dead and ready to cry because breastfeeding is too hard and they are too tired and they aren't getting anything done and there other friends just don't understand why they don't have time to go out for drinks. I laugh while my patience run screaming half naked down the hall with her brothers boots on the wrong feet. "well we all can't look as good as me at work huh?" That usually is followed by the "yeah that's right I got a shower today did my hair and have makeup on any questions?"" whacha! so how do you like me now!"

I know patience... that time when I asked the borough to please correct my water bill, I am sure I had them the first 14 times I called them to fix the charges for water I didn't use and can't afford to pay instead. But that time I think they took that little bit of patience because I see myself screaming at the cashier looking like a crazy woman wondering what the hell is wrong with these people and why I should have to wait till they hire someone
