RANT (longish)

So wedding is in like three weeks, I am in decent shape but still have lots I would like to get done. I teach so I am actually 'off' starting yesterday (still working from home). FI hasn't helped with much, but he is doing the best he can, i just feel like everyday the to do list gets longer instead of shorter. The list is supposed to get shorter. AND to top it all off my car won't start because the battery is dead FI thinks he may have left the lights on on Friday. So now instead of wedding errands today I get to figure out how to replace a car battery. UGH.

    Regarding the battery, can it be jumped? Or is it just shot and you need a new one?Regarding the wedding ... personally, I'd start by making a list of everything you have left to do. Rank it in order of most important to least important, and tackle the important stuff first. Give yourself a little break or a treat after you accomplish something, to help keep yourself calm. And if the least important stuff doesn't get done, so what? It's likely that these are things you won't miss in three months. Get the big stuff out of the way and then say, "Do I REALLY need this?" to the rest.

    Take a deep breath or two and prioritize.  Sometimes it's good to do a lot of little stuff because it will help you feel accomplished and then tackle one big thing.  If it helps, I felt this way too - was so far ahead and then 1 month my list ended up growing.  Eventually it does shrink.Also, ask FI to figure out the car battery - put it on his plate since you are dealing with wedding stuff.

    I tried to jump it and it is dead, dead. FI is totally useless when it comes to cars. I am going to steal his in a few to go run errands and pick up a new battery.

    is there anything you can do that you have everything for at home? do you need to make any calls to confirm anything? do that now and im sure all the calls/confirms will all be done in an hour right before lunch...If you need to buy supplies - group them together with other stuff so you can go somewhere where they sell everything...if you need crafts and stuff for OOT bags, go to target or walmart instead of michaels and then walgreens....have someone come over and just tackle everythingAs for the car  see if it just needs a jump -if not, then have FI get a new battery for it and make him worry about this - you do wedding stuff..and breathe :)

    Agree with pp...I know how you feel believe me, I still feel this way honestly but I did exactly what the pp's said...i prioritized my list, tackled the big shyt first and there were/are still some things that won't get done, period. They're just not as important as I once thought. Ya know what made me feel better - I went shopping yesterday for new luggage and some HM clothes...nothing big went to TJ Maxx got some cute dresses, a new bathing suit and like I said the luggage - it really relaxed me for one day and made me think of the fun and exciting stuff associated with the wedding/marriage. Do something like that
