I have found that one of the problems that plagues the American family (mine not excluded) is that we are pulled in too many directions. On any given day, families I know are running from here to there trying to keep up with the schedule. I know it has been that way for us over the years. Sometimes life is crazy and UNMANAGEABLE. My family teases me because I am always asking "what's the plan". I know that if we don't have a plan for the day, week, month, then something is going to get overlooked.
