Anyone Else in a Funk?

em01092

For some reason, I have seriously just lost all interest in wedding planning right now. Maybe it's because I'm so busy, or maybe it's all the stuff with FMIL. Or maybe it's because I've really done everything that can be done at this point. Our invitiations go out next week, so I'm hoping maybe getting back some RSVPs will get me back in this. 

Don't get me wrong, I still love and want to marry my FI, but I'm just a little blah-ed right now. I think it may also be work/school. I'm doing a lot at once, and I knew it was going to be tough, but I didn't know how tough! 

I'm supposed to be at work by 2 and I have wanted to call out so badly.The weather is horrid today, perfect for snuggling by the fire (not that FI is here). I just want to sleep all day or be lazy and watch TV! I have NEVER been one to be like that, but for some reason it has just hit me. I'm also about to start my period. 

So yeah, I have no clue what it is specifically making me feel this way, or maybe it's all of them. Not sure. Just wanted to vent. I'm really hoping it won't last, because I don't have the time!

I know the feeling that you just want to be lazy and not do much of anything.  Dreary weather will do that to you and we've had a lot of that around here lately too.  You're probably getting some of the same weather we had yesterday and it was yucky all day :-P

I seriously ought to clean house and get to the gym but I have zero motivation.  At least I'm forcing myself to get our invitations addressed.  I'm so self conscious because I don't think they look as good as what I've done for other people!  But at least the job is getting done.  And once I'm done addressing I can turn things over to fiance to stuff and stamp the envelopes so I can move on to other projects.

I'm sorry you're going through that.. I've definitely had that feeling in the past. I hope it gets better for you. Hang in there!

Erica,

You have been working so hard lately that I completely see where this is coming from.  When I was doing grad school and working full time, the last thing I wanted to do was think about the wedding because I had so much going on.  Sometimes you deserve to have a day off but due to other things these rarely come around.  Maybe you do need a day for urself, to stay in and be lazy. 

Ps.- I'm also sure the weather is contributing.

You're not alone, I had a major funk last month and didn't want to think about anything wedding related or talk to anyone. I even got irritated whenever my mom would bring it up.  It just stressed me out, I was ready to just elope and forget about the whole big thing.  

IWe're all very excited and wedding planning has been consuming our minds for months and months!!  It can start to wear you down after awhile and not be fun anymore.  Especially when you have a lot going on like I know you do...

I have found that every once in awhile I need to drag my body out of the house and distract myself with a girls night or a date with my FI ( a night where I always vow not to talk about the wedding).  It's a great way to reset and escape from the pressure.  Don't worry that you aren't all smiles all the time, you've got a lot on your plate!  The excitement will come back when your'e ready for it.

Sent you a PM.

You're definitely not alone.  Part of me is ready to be done with all the planning and prepping and worrying, and part of me is so flippin excited that the wedding is so close.  And it just depends on the day.  The last few days I worked a lot (and, things have been definitely somber at work this week), but today I was able to spend a little time working on DIY stuff, and we got to meet with our officiant and start planning our ceremony, so that was fun and helped me get excited again.

I think once you start getting RSVPs back you'll get back into it.  I get excited to check the mail now to see how many RSVPs are coming in, when I would only check the mail 2-3 times a week previously.  I'm sure our mail lady is thrilled that I don't wait 3 days to check anymore.

Thanks gals. I felt better after going to work. It sort of pepped me up. I work at a gas station so I interact with people frequently, so I sort of had to put all of this past me and get over it. I caught myself being short to customers, and I realized it's not their fault I'm feeling this way, so I shouldnt take it out on them.

This morning, I woke up tired again, but ready to face the day! FI and I are going to lunch and to see a movie after my class gets out at 12, so maybe that will help me further recharge!

I'm starting to feel this way too! All the non WR stress has gotten to me, I think.  Also (and this is super petty) my best friend and MOH asked someone else to be MOH in her wedding.  I get it, and I really don't have time to be anyone else's MOH with my own wedding/graduation/job search/move coming up, but it has made me sad.

I think the RSVPs will help!

I totally understand where you are coming from...I get the blahs when I sit down and think of all the little things that need to be done. It makes me feel exhausted and I hate that! Hopefully once you start getting your RSVPs the blahs will disappear!
