Today was a hectic day. I received a call from the plant manager before 7:00am. I had to run into the plant. After dealing with the situation and knowing that my boss was on his way, I left for the Relief Society activity. I was about 15 minutes late.
It was a good activity and I think it was good for the sisters to be together. I am looking forward to just a simple luncheon next month.
My plan for today was to come home and sew. I was either going to get the back made for a quilt and put it on the long arm or at the very least put the borders on another quilt. Perigrine made it home just before me. She came back outside to warn me that my husband had taken over my studio.
For the past few years my husband has been traveling a lot for work. As a result, he was squeezing in hunting when he could. But somehow the hunting stuff never quite got put away. It got stowed in our room, just not in any organized sort of way.
Now he did tell me that he was going to get things cleaned up. He has been wanting to do this for a while. I heard him talking to our son about working on it today since it was going to be stormy. I just didn't realize what all that was going to entail. But apparently it entails setting up a table in front of my long arm and using my sewing desk. This is what I refer to as The Husband Factor. Any time that my plans are changed or thwarted due to doing things with and/or for my husband. Or just making space for him to get his projects done.
Now don't get me wrong, he communicated his plans to me. I just didn't realize how much his plans were going to affect my plans. Part of this comes from him traveling so much for work. I get into my routines and don't want to change to accommodate him when he comes home for the weekend (or the week) But I also want to spend time with him when he is here. So I am having to learn to factor in time together when he is home. That way we can take care of things together. It is something I keep forgetting to do.
It really isn't a big deal, and I love spending time with him. I just get frustrated when I don't get the things done that I had planned. I am trying to be more intentional with my time and the Husband Factor is making that a little bit harder than I realized it would be.
How do you plan out your day?
