...Me. I win the impatience award. I know there are people out there like me--people who tear their hair out when the speed limit is 50 and the car ahead of them is going 42--or people who put their hands up in exaggerated exasperation when the car ahead of them in the drive thru takes twelve minutes to order...
Yeah, that's me. My kids can't tie their shoes fast enough. They take wayyyy too long to get dressed. (In my defense, I know they secretly play with their toys while "pretending" to search for clothes to wear). When I buy stuff online, I pay extra for fast shipping. When I get a bad haircut, I want it to grow out FASTER. Don't even get me started on writing submissions.
:-D
I want it now. I want it yesterday.
I need to calm the heck down. What made me like this? Who knows. Maybe because I am married to a similarly-impatient person. Together, we're a nightmare.
Help?

Nope, I have it too, but I might have the same problem as you.
I take 5 minutes out of my morning. More easier for me I know, but I still try. I sit there and put on a few nice songs (Enya-watermark works, which I know you have *wink*) and I do a couple deep breathing exercise. I still get impatient and stressed, but when I do I find myself automatically doing the deep breathing and it does help.
Plus I busy myself with projects, especially at work because my big "hurry up" is when I'm by myself at the last 3 hours of the workday. :)
Can't help you. I am the exact same way. My parents are horrified! I was not raised this way and did not used to be like this. I blame my husband. His bad influence rubbed off on me! Luckily, we are impatient in different areas, so we hope and pray our kids won't turn out TOO bad.
When I feel impatient, I start chanting my mantra--"It's not the destination, it's the journey." It reminds me to slow down and enjoy the process, not the finish.
Oh, dear. You need an intervention. I'm sending you chocolate. :)
So get over it! FAST!!! :-)
