Another admiration post.
So I guess I’ll just go ahead with it. This post is about patience. The lady I’m writing about is a teacher. Not just a regular teacher, a middle school teacher. Seriously. Who wants to do that?! Well, I almost did. But I must say I have found since becoming a mother, I do not have the required patience to be a teacher.
But this woman, she has a two (almost three) year old and a one year old. Seriously. I would kill for her patience. I’ve never seen her yell at them. I have never seen her get mad at them. I’ve seen her ask multiple times, as she patiently waits to get her toddler’s attention. I’m not that patient. Trash bag comes out and toys on the floor go out the door. Then my kids listen. It’s not pretty. I mean I just yelled at my kid while writing this. Gahhhh. I often wonder if I had more patience, more often, if my kids would listen. I have some patience, as some days I kill the mom game. But not often enough to be on the same page as her. I have to admit. I’m a little jealous. Not enough to hate her. Just enough to motivate me to be a little more patient. As I yell as my kid to find her patience.
I recently told her I looked up to her. She told me I was crazy. I hope it made her day.
