One thought I have is to make a big schedule for us that include grocery and library days, play days, organize for Ireland days and stay home days, etc. The next thought is that as soon as I complete one or two weeks of this 'self made schedule' I am going to want to deviate from it to break the routine.
I am not so much a self starter. Lars is. (this why I have been considering the little master schedule) He is the entrepreneurial, visionary type. He looks at an old building that has broken windows and is totally dilapidated and can see a working business, a modern studio, a cafe, etc. I look at the same pile of glass and bricks and see dollar signs and hours and hours of work that we don't know how to accomplish. Am I pessimistic or realistic? Hmmmm?
In relation to where we are going in life, I am a bit conflicted. I want him to have a job with a predictable income, enough wiggle room to feel comfortable, have insurance and savings. Of course he wants that, too, but he is able to see more than that. To see a bigger picture that I am too tunnel vision to see. When I step back, or listen, I am able to see that there is more to life than what fills my daily schedule. Shocking, huh?
Will this work? He being the big picture dreamer and me being the practical day-to-day kinda gal....I think it will! We've been working at it for 7 years now. As we get more secure in our roles of husband and wife and dad and mom, we are constantly changing. Maybe just becoming more extreme versions of ourselves...or more relaxed versions in some instances!
In the meantime, I'll make my little weekly schedule and then allow God to break me out of it if need be. I also will choose to trust God and Lars for the big picture. Who knows? Maybe God will give me 'the next big idea.'
