I love having a plan, and when something "pops up," it just makes me nervous. I'm going to read through the comments to get some good tips myself. :-) Yikes, I really struggle with this, too.

I wish I could provide sage advice, but I'm pretty stressed and tired right now too! I'm also a terrible overreactor and dweller, I don't want to be, but its just how I am. I am trying to change though and one thing that I have found helpful is watching funny shows and reading books on people who have overcome large obstacles in their lives. :) “Any tips on helping me be more flexible and “go with the flow”?”

I would end up having fun with them, but be a bit stressed then have to stay up all night after they left. Ugh. I hope you still end up having a good time!

I wish I had advise to share, but this is something I really struggle with. I need to be better about going with the flow. Luckily my husband does it very well, so we sort of balance each other out.

It kind of came crashing down last winter. Now Steven and I discuss our plans for every weekend... I still sometimes don't get to do everything I want though. Oh yeah, and I forget to plan in time to relax! I had a real problem with the “plans in my head” too. It kind of came crashing down last winter.
