While time is going by everyday before my eyes, it seems funny to realize how far we come as family. Layla is blazing a trail thru school with awesome repertoire among the teachers and the grades that make me nervous 'cause she may definitely have her choice of college one day. I'm not a rich man nor do I have the highest paying job in town so I want to make sure she will get to pick her college of her dreams.....as long as its in-state ;) While college is still a long way off I can't help but begin to look into getting started on some preparation for her.
So where to begin? The amount of time to drive from work to home is about 45 mins. Great alone thinking time because what else is there to do in Phoenix traffic in the afternoon?. As I'm thinking whether to open a savings account, or start buying bonds; Some people say open an IRA or CD but cant help say WTF is that?. So while my mind is racing thru everything I can do to to get money like robbing a bank, becoming a council delegate, or finding some old rich cougar & take one for the team, I find myself at my son's daycare to pick him.
I walk inside and greeted by the world's unfriendiest little dog and my son. He is excited to leave and begins to collect his jacket and backpack. His teacher reminds him to get his craft for the day and he runs to grab his reindeer. He hands it to me and says "Look dad! my deer has a red nose...hahaha". His little craft and his little effort gave me peace of mind that a million dollars couldn't even touch. Instantly I'm pulled back to the moment where no problems exist. He reminds me that as long I stay in the moment with just a eye on the future I'll be just fine. We walk out to the car and he climbs in, he puts his seat belt on and sits patiently because he knows I'll let him play my Itouch on the way home. We're back on the freeway, I'm smiling. This guy will be amazing when he gets older. Just like his sister.........and dad :)
