Wingin It

I have been flying by the seat of my pants in most circumstances for the last 3 years. Once it really settled in that, while I had my whole life planned out, not a single thing had gone how I planned... I decided to take my hands out of it. For the most part it works for me. It eliminated a ton of stress especially over things that I so egotistically thought I had some control over. Sometimes it creates stress because I have failed to plan where necessary but all in all I am pleased with the method to my madness. But isn't there always an exception?

Some decisions just have to be made. I have let them go and tried not to stress in the hopes that things would either 1)take care of themselves or 2)an answer would become crystal clear. Crazy as it sounds, I have found that if I just keep my hands out of things...one of the two often happens!

But alas back to the exception...the times when I just have to decide.

My mind full questions.
Not an answer in sight.
I spin the issue one way.
Then I spin it the other.
Perfectly reasonable arguments for each side.
No resolution in sight.
Maybe I'll find a Magic 8 Ball and see what the future holds.

Fall is Coming...

In an attempt to battle my sadness and disappointment over "The Summer That Never Was" I decided to just be thankful and look forward instead of back. Novel idea, huh? Whatever. I'm trying :) It doesn't have to be about summer ending. It might as well be about Fall coming!

And that is a good thing. Changing leaves. Comfy clothes. And a few of the highlights for me:

• A brand new beginning full of possibilities!

maybe this will be the semester when I get it all together! :)

• SCHOOL SUPPLIES!

I LOVE new school supplies. Always have. Pretty notebooks, fun pens. The school supply aisle makes me happy. :)

• Buckeyes Football

There is no place on earth like Columbus, Ohio in the fall. Random O-H-I-O's. An entire city in scarlet and gray. Love,love,love it.

• The return of all things pumpkin!

Pumpkin lattes from Starbucks, pumpkin cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory...need I go on?

Fall doesn't seem so bad after all.

Really? Summer is over already? I am just getting started!

I hae absolutely no idea how this happened. One.more.week. of summer. Craziness. I was just getting started. I have no tan. Have barely been to the pool. Beach vaca was cancelled. All the things that I put off during the school year remain undone. I'm startled by the winding down of a summer that barely got started.

Although, I have no idea why I am shocked by the shock.

This happens to me OFTEN. I have absolutely no concept of time. It drives my hubby nuts I do believe. 5 minutes or 5 hours could have passed and often I am unaware. Then, once I realize..I am shocked and the shock turns to stress. This happens nearly every single day at our house. And every single time I am shocked. Truly startled by what the clock reads...left wondering "how on earth did this happen?" But today it is calendar and not the clock that has shocked me. Go figure.
