It unfortunately is decidedly NOT a virtue I possess. I don’t know what it is about me or why I have such a hard time waiting. I just am really bad at it. It has gotten to the point where I have to buy presents for my kids last minute because once I get them home & wrapped … I HAVE to give them to them right away. Christmas is my favorite holiday but my husband has stopped surprising me because I NAG him to death about what I’m getting.

On the eve of the creativeLive announcement for Tamara Lackey’s class on business, I am really out of sorts. I’m messing up math, mixing up the boys’ names, putting way too much sugar in the tea & can hardly sit still at all. Waiting may one day be the death of me.  This weekend was a good one. We went blueberry picking, had a photo shoot with the adorable David Family, did some back to school shopping & somehow managed to make chores fun.  Yet even with such a full weekend, this creativeLive class has been on my mind. “What if I get picked? I’ll need new clothes? Will I look like a cow in front of a camera if I get picked? I’ll definitely need new clothes.  What happens if I don’t get picked? Will I cry? Will I actually cry about it? Will have a nice large brownie to aid in my depression? I’m going with the brownie. The funny thing is no matter whether I am a participant or not, the worst part is actually waiting for the class. I am really excited about focusing on the business side of things. This class is absolutely just what I need. Maybe I’ll be sitting at home watching but either way I’ll be watching.  Except it is weeks away! UGH!

I feel good. Nervous, excited, completely impatient but at the end of it all … good. Isn’t that exactly what following your dreams feels like?
