All Planned Out

Are you a planner? I use to think that I wasnt that into planning but I think I was in denial. I feel kind of guilty about it because I have more than once told Mr Ladybug that he plans the fun right out of our vacation. He tries to schedule every single thing down to the last minute. In his defense hes trying to pack as much fun as possible in the time we have to be away.

The realization came to me this morning as I was menu planning for the weekend. I got finished and was making the grocery list. I had to take the doggies out and this may be too much info but I have to watch them because the German Shepherd will try pee on the two smaller dogs while they pee. I live such a glamorous life. When I came back in I missed a call from Mr Ladybug saying he had planned on harvesting honey this weekend and that one of our friends were coming over if they are available. Then he changes my menu plan. Thats when I realized I had a problem. I kept thinking how I had to change the menu and do this and that and it really wasnt a big deal. I actually love having people over to learn how to do things that we do on the urban farm. Friends are fun! It took me three seconds to make the menu changes. Seriously I am getting set in my ways in my old age. I will definitely be diffusing some calming oils today.

Schedules are important and needed. Schedules should not take over and rule your life especially on your off days. Schedules should not keep you from spending time with friends or family. Schedules should not turn you into Momzilla ,Wifezilla, Friendzilla, Hubbyzilla...... I know I got carried away there but I was just thinking how funny those scifi movies would be.

Balder obviously read my blog yesterday about going on adventures. As my son was taking his sister to work yesterday Balder the Beagle knocked down the gate that keeps him out of the living room, ran and jumped straight through the screen on the front door and ran down the street. He only went a few houses up but he was running back and forth in the street and not listening. He was in big trouble yesterday. He was actually going to try it again this morning but we were wise to his sneaky ways. Its a good thing hes so cute and I cant stay too mad at him. Hes also a great cuddler and keeps my feet warm.
