I'm getting more used to IOP, to the point where it's not uncomfortable to be there. Today I was a little more reluctant to get going, but that was more about what was going on at home. Bryan was supposed to have a behind-the-wheel lesson after school today, but he couldn't find his driver's permit, so we were busy searching for that. It was payday for me, so I was busy balancing my checkbook. Matthew was just running around in a diaper. It was just one of those mornings where it was hard to get going.
On a positive note, we got approved for the loan for the new(ish) car that we're going to get for me. We go in on Friday afternoon to sign the paperwork, and hopefully Saturday we can go look at the car and take it home. Nick wants to get me a Prius. I'm just excited to be driving something other than a van that dies on me or a bus of a truck. I don't mind the truck, but it's so damn big!
Let's see, what shall we find for a quote for the day? Let's make it something good and meaningful:
"One moment of patience may ward off great disaster. One moment of impatience may ruin a whole life." Chinese Proverb
To me, this speaks volumes. If you speak something to someone in a moment of impatience, it can stick with them. It can stay in their hearts and heads forever. It can be something that will never be erased. You can ruin somebody. It's so important to think before you act, and that is that moment of patience that the Chinese Proverb speaks of.
