Meltdown

fjw2012

Well it took until 18 days out, but I've finally had a meltdown. I have so much going on right now that kinda just want to say F it all. I knew when we decided to have a fall wedding that I would be balancing school, work and the wedding, but I thought I could handle it, especially since up to this point i have been way ahead of the game. All of a sudden everything has gone to crap. Our ceremony musician dropped out because he apparently over  booked and we were the last to book, I still have to finish the favors, seating chart, get the marriage licence, have my dress steamed, find a new ceremony musician and book a night of hotel room. My dad and my FI dad have yet to be fitted for their tuxes, my computer which had all the addresses and lists of songs I wanted for the wedding on it crashed.I also have a video project (which was also on my computer) and two papers due this week plus a test on Wednesday. And on top of all that work. I seriously think my head may explode. Thanks for reading ladies, really needed to vent.

I feel for you. I am a f/t student and work f/t as well. I have pretty much been planning alone. My moh has gone mia. I have no clue if she has got her dress yet. I have been tripping about a house but my parents were nice enough to help me out since we couldn't get a loan . My dad went and paid for my house and we are going to pay them back. This is my last week at my job. I think I'm going to take a few weeks off til the wedding is over. And I'm going to get a puppy so I won't have to stay by myself since he works nights.

I agree, breathe!! Take your computer to a repair shop and see if they can at least salvage the hard drive so you can get the information off of it. I think that would help a lot. Next: delegate. Find tasks that you don't mind handing off to a BM or FI  or anyone else that can help. Tell FI to find the hotel for the night of, and tell him he has to get his butt in gear and get measured by a certain date or else you'll charge him a fee (or anything else that might motivate him!) It'll be okay, it's all doable, just take a deep breath!

Deep breaths and SLEEP. 

I was feeling metldown-ish last night (overwork, various stressors), but I got a good night's sleep and things are in perspective again.

It is a lot. I think you have great advice, good luck with that computer. In the end, the marriage license is the biggie. Well, I'll go with the steaming too! The other things are 'stuff'. One thing at a time, you will get through this.

Thamk you for the advice! I did get a good nights sleep and decided to just focus on school work for this week. I've gotten through a lot of it so tomorrow I can focus on a few wedding tasks. One of which includes a drive to a specialty store that sells delicious food, so hopefully that will be a nice little break for me and FI.
