Life Happens!

Anyone who has a goal and wants that goal more than anything, probably wakes up everyday with a nagging feeling in their stomach of all the things that they have to get done to work towards their goal.  The feeling doesn't go away no matter what the day brings and at night when you lay your head down, it's still there.  It follows you in your REM state.  If you don't know what I am talking about, it's hard to explain.  I guess it's like waiting for a newborn baby to come or a wedding day. So the items on my list may seem minor to some but everything, I mean everything I do, takes me one step closer to being M.D. Tammy!

So today, like everyday, I woke up with my ever evolving to do list.  Each item neatly arranged according to priority and today like many others in my life, I saw a complete stalling of each and everyone of those items with the exception of ONE! Guess what it was?  Can't?  It's okay, I will tell you.  It was a to-do item for my daughter.  My beautiful, wonderful, amazing, OMG MOM I GOT SO MANY THINGS TO DO BEFORE I GO TO COLLEGE MOM, daughter.

Yep that's her!  And this is what we did today.  Well part of it anyways.  It was a pleasure to spend the time with my daugther and well worth the strain I now have placed upon myself for not doing the other items on the list.  Just look at that $6,000 smile above.  :-)

So besides taking her pictures, we made our road trip plans to find housing in San Francisco this month and we enjoyed some great laughs with Tatiana(my oldest daughter), Brittany(my little sister) and Yvette(Tatiana's best friend).  Yep!  Instead of completing my property search for my 10am appt. tomorrow morning we tackled the mall and a picture studio full of a bazillion pregnant ladies and little kids and family men who looked like they might rather poke their own eyeballs out than be in that place.  AND instead of my 1.5 hours of math homework and a 1 hour run by the water, we went to Sushi Deli 1 and enjoyed San Diego Rolls, Crunchy Rolls, California Rolls and Tereyaki Chicken.  And just to top it all off on the way home all five of us girls sang Adele's "Someone Like You" at the top of lungs in the car. 

I came up with a moral to my own story.  It's Sunday!  It's okay to put the nagging feeling in your stomach to rest sometimes and just let loose and enjoy this time that is precious in every moment that it presents itself.  I can do this anyways. I know how to juggle and shift.  Tomorrow I will get up extra early and complete that property search.  Tomorrow I will do 3 hours of math and tomorrow I will just run by the water like I intended to today and all will be well!

P.S.  those are random people on the Seaport Village Boardwalk.  I just thought you'd like to see where I am going to run!  :-)
