The "Plan Man"

I got up this morning with an okay attitude. I went downstairs to make some coffee. This is a must for me to gain full consciousness. Then, I waited. Every morning without fail, Vaughn announces some sort of "project" for the day. Today was no different. "We are moving all the furniture into different rooms today," he finally announced. YEAH!!!!

The boys are home for this semester, so we are putting their furniture back into their original rooms. Lots of work! To make a long story short, I stayed in my bedroom writing in my book. They were more or less done when I finally checked on them. Hey! Don't give me that look! I made them lunch! Pasta with cheese sauce...homemade no less.

Anyway, yesterday we were talking with Andrew. He was a bit discouraged, so we gave him a pep talk. And, as usual, the final words out of Vaughn's mouth are..."Your life would be easier if you had a day-planner." That is when I gave him his new nickname, The Plan-Man.

I'll never use a day-timer. I barely recognize a calendar when I see it. I ask Vaughn to inform me of what is happening a day ahead so that I can prepare myself. It drives him nuts! But, I'm an artistic soul. I hate being put into the confines of a schedule. So, I just wing it.

This way of life doesn't always work out, but I have way more fun. Imagine the surprise when 25 guests show up hungry and I wasn't expecting it! Wow, now that's fun! Anyway, if you ever want to know anything "specific" about our family schedule or the church schedule, you might ought to ask Vaughn. Although, this might not work because certain times and dates come from me. So, anything goes, right?

So, my advise is to call The Plan Man. It will almost always be close to being correct.
