Planning Ahead Doesn't Always Save Time

Despite my best efforts to plan ahead I always seem to end up making more work for myself.

Case in point: While strolling through the Green Valley District this weekend I decided to poke my head into Gymboree. Of course I found stuff Cole absolutely needed and to boot Greg even suggested that I get a gift for an upcoming baby shower he knew I was going to. (So handy to have a husband who reminds you of more reasons to shop). So, I gladly started looking through baby girl clothes. Found an adorable outfit and got a cute gift box. I was so pleased with myself. I was a whole two weeks early and I could check that off my list. Two days later, I was still feeling pretty good about being so efficient until I over heard a conversation about the upcoming baby shower and the BABY BOY they are expecting...duh, what? How did I get that wrong? Oh well I thought, once again...despite my best efforts to be "all together" the truth shines through and I am reminded that I am far from as "all together" as I want to be and oddly as people seem think I am (or, at least that's what they tell me).

My girlfriend's theory is that we all feel much more crazy inside than we project. So, if you feel like you are falling apart remember most people can detect no clue that you are as crazy as you feel. Doesn't that make you feel better? It does me.
