Remember that old Heinz ketchup commercial? Anticipation, anticipation, it’s making me wait. The ketchup was so thick and rich and slow, it would make us wait, unless we smacked it hard from the bottom. Then the ketchup had no choice but to come rushing out with a blop.
Life can be like a bottle of ketchup. Waiting, waiting, waiting. Getting excited for the taste, the thrill, the deliciousness. Right now I am waiting for Ashley to come over to spend her day off with me. I am anticipating her arrival! Tomorrow, I will be waiting for my other daughter, Shayna and our grandson, Eli! I will be anticipating their arrival also, wonder when they will be here? Are you on your way yet?
Another form of anticipation is the first day of school. It is easier to wait when I have to wake with the alarm, carry everything in, clean, set up, decorate, plan, clean out, arrange… but I am still anticipating the opening of school, I can’t wait to meet my new babies! Last year’s group was a bit daunting to me for some reason but I just have a feeling I am going to LOVE this year’s group! Slowly, but surely, I am beginning to plan things for the upcoming school year.
I also want to take this time to thank my school teacher friend Marianne. Thank you. She always has the knack to calm my nerves. Thanks Mare!
Here’s to the last 7-8 days of summer! Love summer break!!!Have a great day… she’s here!
