I was at Carlos O'Kelly's for my Tupperware unit meeting (yes, I sell Tupperware), and I ordered a taco salad. I had a coupon for buy one entree get one free, so I was going to get something to take home for Josh. The waiter told me he'd come back later to get the second order so that it would be fresh for when I leave. He did come back later and got my order, but he forgot to turn it in...which he didn't realize until he saw everyone else getting ready to leave and me just standing there. He told me it would just be a few minutes, and 15 minutes later he brought me my order in a really big bag. I must have had a look on my face that said, "Why such a big bag for one order of quesadillas?" b/c he said "I threw in some chips and salsa since you had to wait so long."
Both stories would have turned out differently if I had been rude and impatient. It's encouraging when you get positive results when you are patient.

it pay$ to be patient
two stories to share with you...
I took Kyle back to the docs b/c 3 bottles of medicine didn't take care of his thrush. His appt. was @ 10:30 and we didn't get called back until a little after 11:00. The doctor checked him out and prescribed a new, stronger medication. We checked in at the pharmacy @ 11:45, and they said it would be about 10-20 minutes. A half hour later it still wasn't ready, so I took Kyle back to the pediatric office where they have a nursing room, fed him, and returned to the pharmacy. By now it was after 12:30, and the prescription still wasn't ready...and now Justin had to go to the bathroom! While in the bathroom, I heard them call Kyle's name...and since I wasn't out there, I was going to have to wait in line again! So, I get to the window and they tell me they are still waiting for the dr. to get back to them and clarify something, but they do explain the hold-up to me. I finally walk out of there at 1:15 (almost 3 hours after I walked in) with a free prescription...they didn't charge me b/c I had to wait so long.
the boys demand my attention now, so tune back again for the next story!

more candy?
...that's what justin said after each house when we went trick or treating on Wednesday night. He has never been a big candy fan, but he loved the first piece that was dropped in his little pumpkin bucket...a red lollipop.
