Life (mainly a vent)

So I like it when life goes my way; how I planned it.  But I am slowly learning that you can not make life be how you want it to be. In my ideal world right now I would be typing this from the big white and red house sitting in an Adirondack chair on my front porch sipping sweet iced tea waiting for Adam coming home from work .   Once he arrives home I would make the final touches on supper that was created from my monthly meal plan.  This monthly meal plan allows me to only have to go shopping for food once a month.  I hope to grow this idea so that I only have to go shopping for everything once a month.
In my ideal world my family planner would be done.  Complete with addresses, people's birthdays, family calendar, my daily to do in it, cleaning list.  If someone had a question about our family they would go to that binder.

So that was part of a post from last week.  Most of the things in those two short paragraphs I am still frustrated about but I understand that what I want is not always going to happen.  I have noticed that my life motto maybe just be "if only this happens life will be better."  In reflection this life motto sucks.   I think that I'm going to try to live life in the moment.  I know that I love to have everything planned but I am learning that with Adam's family that is not possible.  I just pray that we (Adam and I) do not miss family functions or get togethers because I have planned something fun for the weekend or the night.

I have plans and dreams for us but sometimes I wonder if my dreams are too lofty.  I know they are dreams but I want to achieve some of them. I guess that my goal for this week.  Is live in the moment; be flexible and not complete freak out when things don't go as planned.
