Weird feeling...anyone else?

volleygurl0306

I feel like everything is done but I have a million things to do at the same time.  Anyone else have this contradiction going on?  I obviously have these long to do lists but everything is so minor I can't feel the pressure to get going on them.  Or they are things I can't finish for one reason or another so I don't want to even start because I am someone who only feels accomplished if it can actually come off the list. 

For instance the other night I spent an hour with a big pack of tissue paper.  I had to wrap our parents' gifts.  I also made chalkboard glasses for our WP and am giving them chalk to go with it.  And so, I had to wrap their pieces of chalk so chalk dust didn't get every where.  So I sat there for 45 min to an hour wrapping chalk and our parents gifts.  I couldn't wrap FFIL's though until FI wrote a note to his dad (which still isn't done).  So all this wrapping and all I technically got 100% done was wrapping the chalk...which was such a small task I hadn't even written it on my to-do list.  I felt like I hadn't done anything.

Right now all the big things are finalized so these little things would just add to the experience and I guess aren't necessities but I want them.  I'm just struggling to motivate myself at the same time.

I'm in the same boat. I feel like everything is done but I have a million little things to do !! And all the itty bitty things dont really feel like accomplishments at all. I sat up last nights stuffing my BM totes for their gifts but they arent complete so in my mind they arent done ! But whatever I know it will all come together so I am rolling with it lol

YES! I'm so glad others feel that same ... because that means I'm not crazy! Big picture ... everything the absolutely needs to be done is. The wedding could be tomorrow and it would probably be fine. But there are confirmation appointments that still need to happen, but vendors said to wait until sometime in August and I'm waiting for my parents to be available (they live in MI and like to be involved when they can be).

We have two colors of unity sand, but are still looking for the third color. I need to find/make a headband for the flower girl, a sign for the ring bearer ... but those things aren't crucial ... so I keep putting them off. I'm afraid this is going to bite me in the butt real soon but my mom is coming the next two weekend (for showers) so hopefully we can get a lot of stuff done while she's here.

I am in the exact same boat! I have nothing big left and most of my little stuff I can only get half done which means I still can't cross it off my list. I feel like my list is so long but it's just silly details. I'm hoping to meet with our vendors soon for the final meetings so that I can feel somewhat accomplished.

Oh gosh, yes!  I have a few things that can be done the day before (like pick up cupcakes & pizza), and I have a few things that are "hurry up and wait".  And then others I'm like, "Oh shoot, gotta get that done NOW!"  But overall, they're such minor little details that each one isn't very significant on its own.

Same here... I am so unmotivated to do anything though lol  I have knots in my stomach over this whole thing haha  what are we ever going to do come October!?!?!

Totally in the same boat! We have all the big things done and now it's just little things that we need to get done. It's little things like paper poms and little things like that. I'm usually a list maker but I'm just too lazy to do anything lol.

Thank goodness it isn't just me!  FI thinks I'm nuts because I'll just sit there and keep saying "I have so much to do!!!!"  and he asks "What's left?" or what he can help on and I just stare at him.  I can't verbalize how I'm feeling like there is a lot left to be done.

Yes!  That is exactly it!  I have stuff to do, but I'm like, eh, it will get done.  Nothing big, just a bunch of small stuff.  I guess I normally live in a world of denial where I figure it will all get taken care of, so maybe that's where I am right now?  I'm not too stressed, but I know my sleep has been interupted some.  We will see how it gets as we get closer!

I am on total overload too!!!! When I actually look at my list though, it is all little things that don't REALLY need to be done.  They are all just things that in my crazy little head need attention.

Me too. I just wrote out the "Reserved" signs for our families' seats at the ceremony -- we basically have just enough seats total, so it's important to let folks know which front row seats are taken and which are free. I just packed up the "kids' box", which seems lame now that I see it, but if it occupies them for even 20 minutes off and on, it will have been worth it I suppose. I have a few things (big - flowers and cake) that can't be done til just a day or two before the big event, so they are kind of weighing on me. That's probably the most annoying part, since I CAN'T finish those things, it's a total and utter waste of energy to even think about them! Sigh...

I did pick up my dress today after it was altered, and it fit. mostly. I'd fallen off the wagon after the first fitting and had gained back some weight, and today was probably still half a pound over where I was at the fitting. Frightening that half a pound makes a difference in this dress. I've given myself clearance to drop another pound or so, and I know what the scale needs to read for the dress to be totally comfy! That's reassuring. I hate that will-it-fit, won't-it-fit stressor!!

Yes, yes, yes. This has been the worst part of the planning because of that feeling!
