Normal?

I mentioned the other day that I was ready for things to be normal in my life again.  It is a funny statement really.
I don't have a normal life.  At least, I don't think I do.  Stress is normal for me.  Drama is normal for me.  Being the overplanner that I am, I "plan" for that stuff.

Then all hell breaks loose and things that you could NEVER had planned for happen.  Those things, I do not do well.  I don't like the unexpected (no one does really).

So, what is normal?  (was asked this by many when I demanded normalcy)  To be honest, I have no idea.  Actually, for me, normal is having my priorities in order, having a schedule -- having a certain level of spontaneity  and chaos but definitely stuff I can control.

Yeah, none of this usually happens that way.  Life happens in between the schedule, the other times are what make life interesting.

Things I have learned over the last month --
    *watch your back.  Always keep an eye out.
    *dealing with things without crying and being a strong powerful woman is really a good thing
    *screaming profanities at people won't get things done.  I realize this should be a given but there were many times over the last month that I wanted to scream profanities at several people.
     *sometimes the only thing that will make you smile is a cute boy and his dog falling asleep in your lap
     *family is very important and their health and safety is even more important
     *never say that the unthinkable cannot happen to you, because it probably WILL
      *normalcy is not what I desire.  The ability to find peace and being in the midst of chaos and craziness is SO much better.
     *life truly is good
