Usually I don't post about wedding stress, but it just hit me today that I feel like I'm drowning in stuff to do. I know I need to make a list of things to get done, but even when I start to think about it, I start to get overwhelmed. Then when I think I can tackle something, another thing gets added onto the pile.
FI and I have been engaged for over a year and a half, so we've kind of taken our time planning things. After getting engaged, I decided to go back to school, so I really have done minimal planning over the past year. Now I'm starting to feel the pressure and I can't even lock FI down to do anything with me. It's not that he doesn't want to, but we see each other so little (even though we live together) that anytime we're together, we don't want to think about planning stuff.
In the next 5 1/2 months I have his college graudation, his 30th birthday party, my nephew's high school graduation (that we have to drive back to OH for), a trip to Vegas (that we apparently HAVE to take), a rehearsal dinner, a wedding, and a honeymoon to plan. All of this while going to school and working.
Then to top things off, we just found out that not only does my dad have skin cancer (not a terribly big deal, but still requires surgery), but his dad also was just diagnosed this week with MS. So I'm trying to hold FI together while he's driving his dad to the dr and being his dad's right hand man throughout the process. Now FI said that he wants to ride the MS 150 this June to honor his dad, so that's another thing I have to plan for and help raise money for. He wants me to ride with him, but I can't possibly see how on earth I'm going to plan all of this crap and train for a 150 mile bike ride at the same time!
I'm also supposed to be job hunting right now, but I can barely find time to study for finals coming up. Aargh!
Thanks for letting me vent.
So In Love
