I am not a Planner

Oh boy....don't get my wrong on this note, I love my Mom, but she's driving me nuts! I am heading to IL all by myself for a weekend to see my nephew's last fall musical (he's a senior). I will get in on a Friday afternoon and come home on a Monday morning. Needless to say, my mom has the whole weekend planned! Seriously, I'm not much of a planner. I may make an appointment here and there, but I don't plan what I am going to do every day. Heck, I don't even plan things to do on vacations, I just like "flying by the seat of my pants"! She first asked me if I wanted to go to the steak fry at "the club" the night I get there. I said no, they could go and I'd call my friends and see if they wanted to meet in Port Byron for dinner and a few drinks. Well, she said since I was only going to be there a couple of days, they wanted to spend it with me, and they didn't need to go to the steak fry. So she decided after they pick me up from the airport, we'd pick up my grandma and go back to their house and then go to Jimmie Lee's for supper. So I did call my friends and told them to meet up with me there. Saturday she's decided that we need to go shopping so I can get my Christmas shopping for all my IL family done. And then that night she's planning on having the whole family out. Sunday will be church and the play. Don't get me wrong, I am sure I'll have fun, but the thought that she's planned every step of every day gives me a headache and stresses me out! I sure hope she doesn't expect me to get up by a certain time on Saturday.....after all, I will be without husband or kids! Wooooo! Got that off my chest!
