Hey guys,
So, if there are two things you should know about me it's this; first, I am a planner, I always have been, I always will be, and honestly, I wouldn't function WITHOUT a plan. Secondly, my life is basically constant chaos, especially on the weekends. With 5 kids and 2 adults, there is always, ALWAYS at least one sports event to go to, church gatherings, date nights, and stuff like that. Today was no exception to those rules, but I was able to tell how fortunate it is that these two traits of mine, or of my family go hand-in-hand. Today, we had to be OUT of the house by 6:45 for a soccer tournament in Winston-Salem, we also had to have Shane's overnight stuff packed as well, because my sister was meeting us there and taking the little boys to her house for a "sleepover". To make things just a bit more interesting, Aedon had a swim meet in Charlotte not only on the same day, but overlapping times as well. So, when I woke up this morning and saw that my alarm had been going off for 20 minutes, I was NOT happy. By the time we had woken Shane and Jack up, it was 6:40, and we were shooting to leave in five minutes, and HERE is where planning comes in handy. Shane sits up out of bed and the first thing that happens is his nose starts bleeding, Shane is essentially helpless when he has a nose bleed, we haven't quite figured out why, but that's just the way he is...Anyways, so Shane is sprawled out on the floor with blood running down his face, meanwhile I'm getting him dressed while Dad is downstairs getting the dog's things ready to go, and I just stop and think, MAN, what would have happened if his stuff WASN'T all laid out and ready to go? For those of you just like, man, that's insane, this was only the START of our morning, it got much worse, but that's another story for another day. In conclusion, PLANNING IS YOUR FRIEND!
<3 Always,
Rose
