Waiting, waiting, waiting......

It's been an awesome and busy weekend. I'm totally in need of sleep, but I just had to share a quit bit.

Munchkin #2 went to a birthday party today. So...since we had to be out in all the weekend craziness, we thought we'd get some errands done.

We needed to get Munchkin #1 some new sports shoes (and yes, they are up to Grandpa's shoe size), I needed some undergarments, and we needed to pay our telecommunications bill. Because of how billing works (it's a very long story), it needs to be paid in person and preferrably with cash.

So....the husband bravely offers to go take care of the bill freeing Munchkin #1 and I to go do the shopping. Munchkin #1 and I go through numerous shops finally finding the shoes and my necessary item. We phoned the husband; he was still waiting. So....we decided to go wait with him.

Since it was now way past lunch time, Munchkin #1 and I stopped at a local market, grabbed a hot pie (chicken and mushroom, yummy), some chocolate milk and some juice. We then proceed to the husband. The husband is very thankful for the food. The place where we needed to pay the bill was very shiny and pretty. But, the people standing around waiting (at least 20) didn't look so shiny and pretty. They looked frustrated and tired - not exactly happy customers. Sigh...

And....drum roll please.....after the husband paitently waited for just over 2 hours, he got to pay the bill and take care of a bit of other business there. The upside was the lady at the counter was very helpful and friendly. As we left (my husband had enjoyed some friendly chat with a few of the folks also waiting), we proclaimed with big smiles to those still waiting, "There is hope!"

Never a dull moment!

Peace.
