I am so proud of him!  Its Mother&#8217;s Day weekend  too.  So I was torn knowing that its a special day for my kids to show their love for me&#8230; and yet really wanting to be there to celebrate with my brother.<\/p>\n<p>So 3 more sleeps!  Mother&#8217;s Day comes early  (Friday) and Josh and I are off to Maryland.  I am so looking forward to it!  I love spending time with my brother and family.  I am looking forward to catching up with Sanj&#8217;s cousins and add some shopping to the mix&#8230; some great restaurants, no housework or laundry, maybe sleeping in and Josh occupied with Ammama  makes for a perfect getaway!  <\/p>\n<p>I am surrounded by such motivated, smart people!  It is a good thing that I am not too insecure in that area.  Sanj is working on his doctorate too.   His grades on  a test are 128%.  Is there a need for that?  I hated school and am so glad to be done with it!  I love learning&#8230; hands on.  I hate classrooms and all that pressure of grades.<\/p>\n<p>Funny I chose the profession of teaching eh?  \ud83d\ude42  Well I thought I could make it better.  What I didn&#8217;t  count on was once I had my own kids I wouldn&#8217;t have the patience and love for other people&#8217;s kids.  <\/p>\n<p>So now I am in search of a new career.  Real Estate is right now my #1 choice.  I love houses.  I love the search for the perfect house.  Since I spend a lot of computer time on MLS  maybe I should get paid for it! <\/p>\n<p>One of my life goals is to write a book.   The pressure is on as this is one of my brother&#8217;s goals too and I think he has started.<br \/>I have so much to say!  But does any one really want to hear it?  Another one&#8230; I am not sure it is really a goal but I would love to be a motivational speaker  but since I get sick to my stomach and shake like a leaf when up front that may be on the back burner a while.   I  would love to do something with photography too.  The lotto&#8230; would love to win just a couple of million.<\/p>\n<p>Adopt a house full of orphans would be a life dream fulfilled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My brother Kumar is graduating with his doctorate this weekend.
