Plans? What Plans?

Today I had great intentions of cleaning out the pantry/kitchen and putting away the dry goods and such from the apartment. I also was going to do the laundry and make some food to take to the Scout Court of Honor. Along with all that I was going to throw in lunch with my sister and brother in law from OK City. For some reason I think time goes by slower than it really does. Or, I think I'm super woman. So, it's 4 o'clock and all I've gotten done is sort the laundry, lunch with my sis and b-i-l, and the food for the scouts. Where did my day go?

I had good plans, productive plans, but sometimes you just have to throw them out the window. I spent my time doing what was more important. I took time to be with loved ones. Does it matter that the laundry is still on the bedroom floor? Does it matter that I still have boxes to unpack? Nope. Not even a little bit. In the past week we've been home I have done such uncharacteristic things. I've had people to the house when it was a mess. I've not stressed over getting the boxes taken care of. I put aside my agenda to help someone else in a time crunch. And I even let my sis and b-i-l see my house when it was a total wreck! Who has taken over my body? I kind of like this gal. She's much less stressed out. I hope she can stick around. And why has it taken 43 years for her to show up?
