I am a planner. I like everything thought out and put together. I like to know as much information ahead of time as possible. I'm always planning - always looking ahead and figuring out things so there's no surprises. I make lists, input everything I can into my calendar, I set reminders, and double check everything. Even this blog post I planned days ago with what to say, what pictures to take, etc. I do not do well with last minute, spontaneous, fly by the seat of my pants.
Well, what's that saying: The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry? That definitely happened to me this week - how fitting that it happened on the week where the theme was Planning! I had lots of plans for this week, mostly in preparation for Spring Break and going out of town. But no matter how hard I try to plan my life, sometimes things happen that I don't plan for. I didn't plan on my daughter coming home sick from school on Monday. I didn't plan for my daughter's science teacher to assign them a solar system model project to complete in 3 days. I didn't plan for my oldest son to fall at scouts last night which resulted in a fracture of his pinky. All these things put a big wrench in my plans this week. It makes me stressed and frantic, but they happened and I dealt with them. As much as I hate it, sometimes I have to roll with the punches!

I hear you about rolling with the punches, though it's way easier when everyone just sticks to crossing off the stuff on the list. :) Have a great weekend!
Are you going to Utah?! Maybe we will pass each other on the road! I'll be up there all week too.
Ps love your calendar!
I hear you! We make our plans but we can't plan for surprises. Life happens! Have a great spring break!
When I do plan, it seems it always goes wrong. HA! That said, I still think it's good to plan (even though I don't do it.) I really wish I was on the planner side of this spectrum. :) Enjoy spring break!
oh, i'm a planner too and i get a bit flustered when things mess up my perfectly laid plans! good to know i'm not the only one... ;)
wow, you're a serious planner - typed and highlighted even! i'm impressed. :) i wish i was more like that.
and you're so right, sometimes you just have to roll with the punches no matter what.
I wish I was like this too!!! Maybe I can convince my husband an IPad would help me plan??? :)
I envy people that can make and stick to plan. I make several but then change them in mid stream. I do have to admit that my apple products have made me a tad bit better.
Wow! Blog planning...maybe I should start that! I have a bunch of undedited photos that I keep meaning to get around too. I am loving our I-Pad and my I-Phone...this may just make my calander. Great idea!
