Organization

I was talking to mom the other day and we got on the topic of being organized.  I told here that I have a calender in the kitchen that is my calender and I put up all the appointments, schedules, tests, ect. on it. Then next to Zach's side of the bed I put up his calender so that he could do the same if he wanted.  Well I being mom's daughter,  I am extremely organized.  And once I concoct a plan I intend it to happen that way.  Zach is way more flexible than I and the difference between us in the organization realm has taken some getting used too.
 Anyways back to talking to mom, I was telling her how organized I was and how I would come up with a plan and Zach on the last day at the last minute would suggest something different and that it would drive me crazy! Well turns out Dad does the same thing and mom told me to get used to it.  But she also told me that it was a good thing because if both of us were crazy planners then I don't think we would have ended up together, it is good to have a little flexibility in life.  I need some especially because I have a hard time changing my plans, but I am grateful for Zach who shows me it is ok sometimes to allow things to just happen when and how they happen.

I read a funny little list once that sums up this post.  It was a list of differences between men and women and it said that when women have kids they know where they are, where they need to be, when they will be home,and what they need to do.  And when a man has kids he is vaguely aware of shorter people in his house who eats his food.

Now to explain the pictures.  My calender has looked like this through almost the entire year.  So Zach feeling left out decided to write down stuff to do on his, but literally that is what he wrote =)  I just thought it was funny so I am sharing =)
