Tick Tock

The overriding theme of this week has been "wait...wait...wait...". Honestly, one of my biggest struggles is to live life in the moment and not miss out because I am too focused on waiting for some future event. This has been a particularly big challenge this week as there is so much to wait for.

We are waiting for baby Lincoln to make his appearance. We had a false alarm last Sunday, but now it could be five minutes from now or it could be next week.

We are waiting for a job offer for my dad. He has been out of work for a little over a month and it is definitely time for something to work out. Last Friday he had a very promising last interview with a local company and now we wait.

We are waiting for enrollments for the preschool. All in all this was a good week for enrollments. We met and then passed our break even point with more enrollment forms allegedly on there way, but I am really trying hard to not count my chickens before they hatch.

We are waiting for Disney. It has been a busy and stressful summer and our reward at the end of it is a family trip to Disneyland. All that stands in our way now is some laundry, packing, and a few hours.

While I have spent this week waiting I really need to savor every moment of the coming week. Not only is it vacation week, it is the last week before Jeremy disappears back into school and the last week I have a two-year-old. Here is to deep breathes and enjoying every moment.
