There was a song with that sentiment and now it's in a commercial on T.V. Every time I hear it I feel as though it was partly written for me. At least the me that spends 5+ months in Florida.
There is always so much going on here and I hate to miss anything (my mother-in-law was like that) so I make plans only to discover that I've already made plans for that time period. It irks me that I can't do both things and I always seem to be rushing so I can include both (or more) activities in the same day.
My mother-in-law, Ferne, was a life-loving lady who tried to fit in as much fun and experience as she could in every minute of the day. She loved being around people even though you'd sometimes hear her complain about having too much company. Minutes later she'd be on the phone inviting even more people to her house. She's no blood relation of mine but I seem to be following in her footsteps.
I made plans to go to the casino on Monday with a carful of people but forgot we needed to be home by 3 P.M. to go to a dinner with heaven knows how many more people. Sorry, Joyce! The only option was to plan on leaving the park at 9:30 A.M. so we wouldn't be rushed with our gambling. I know I'm going to be very tired after that busy day but so what. I can rest when I'm back home in Canada.
Years ago my brother-in-law saw how disorganized I was and said I reminded him of his mother. I'm in good company if I can be compared in any way to that lovely lady.
