it's been a while

Few things make me happier than an empty schedule.  Also, few things frustrate me more than a full schedule.  When there has been a gap in blog posts that almost always means that I have had a full schedule, so obviously we have been busy over the last couple of months.  I am currently trying to figure out how I should respond to this.

Should we just accept that schedules are going to be busy and there is nothing we can do about it?  Should I feel bad if the kids are not involved with an organized sport or activity?  How many times is too many to decline going to social events?  Is it wrong to claim to be an agoraphobic and never leave the house again?

I know there are extremes and I should not let all of my introverted tendencies dictate all of my actions.  I do enjoy down time at home, though.
