88 Days Out and Now Moleasses

Yeah, we were ahead of the game 4 months ago... and now I'm wading through moleasses.... what the heck?  Yes we have a litany of things completed but there is still more to do and I don't like waking at 3:00 am with a cold in a panic over what is yet to be done.  Yes, to all moms I know the cold isn't helping (and it isn't helping that all three of us have it, and why does it fall to "mom" to take care of everyone?).

We're debating fountain pen versus calligraphy for addressing the invitations and of course waiting for said ascribed fountain pen to arrive. Then there is ordering the groom's vest, bow tie and pocket square; solidifying the ceremony; getting the menu settled; mailing out the invitations; hotel room blocks; oh and let's not forget the gown issue (oh there is more to the story the vendor doesn't have record of the thing being shipped and another is on route?); plus the bride has found out that a fitting of a more personal nature is needed; plus the bride needs shoes and to show how fickle a bride I am now it's silver.... craziness

I also have a bridesmaid (sister) that committed to being in the wedding at Christmas (yay!), only to break her ankle on Monday and going to a surgeon on Thursday.... So there is more to find out than not... I hope that my sister will be okay and that her ankle will mend.  I am more worried about her healing than my wedding by a long shot - just the timing of things.  (whine and yes I would like some cheese thank you)

My other friend who isn't okay with being single still isn't much better so who knows what she's going to do.

End of whining session - colds make me whining and soooo tired... Thanks for letting me vent, whine and otherwise be irritating.

    LMAO Angie! Woe is you!

    It will be fine. Have some brandy for the cold, which will also relieve the stress.

    It WILL work out, no matter what. You won't remember the stress, just the loveliness of your wedding day.

    Man, oh man, Angie!  I'm sending healing vibes to your sister, targeting that ankle.  I hope her surgery goes well.
     
    As for the rest ... *sigh* ... at this point, I will send a virtual ((((HUG)))) your way.  Hang in there!  Friday's coming.

    Hope your sister heals quickly.  If she is wearing a walking cast by the wedding - you can always bling it up!

    Hope everyone gets to feeling better soon.  I'm big on lists, but sometimes they make everyting seem a little overwhelming.  Everything will fall into place and what doesn't probably won't matter in the long run.

    Sounds like its time for a wedding free weekend. 

    I know that sounds MORE stressful.  But honestly, just giving yourself a break, time to feel better, time to let go of some of the things out of your control, and time to have some fun will make all of those mountains shrink back to the molehills they really are. 
    And afterwards- take a REALLY hard look at some of your must-do's.  Calligraphy vs. fountain pen writing on the envelope of the invitation that wil just get thrown away?  If it still makes your heart sing (rather than making you break out in a cold sweat) after your wedding free weekend-- go ahead.  But a good ole Bic pen will still get the invitation to the address.  ~Donna

    I agree, completely.  You have had SO much stress in the past few months.  As a fellow unemployed bride-to-be, I also <u>know</u> how grinding it is to have the feelings surrounding that as a base layer of stress.  Your FFIL's untimely death, awful issues with the blog and the dress, your friend's issues, FDSD's crazy mom and now, your sister's surgery??  <em>Calgon, take me away!   Relax.  Unplug.</em>  I know it is easier said than done but you owe it to yourself.  Immediately.

    I have some crackers to go with your cheese and wine....LOL

    Sorry to hear you all have colds - I know the misery of that all too well.  I live in a house full of men, so when they get sick.........Hope your sis gets a good prognosis soon...

    Relax.  It will all come together.  Give yourself a wedding time-out.  You need it.  In a couple days you can look at it all with well-rested and hopefully non-sick eyes and tackle things one at a time. 
    Anniversary

    LOL thanks Marrin... So see when I'm sick and tired and whiny I can't spell either...

    Sister had her surgery today.. I will be calling her later today or tomorrow to see how she is doing.

    Fountain pen came in and is a go!

    We're still sick...  :-( Probably should have had the suggested brandy!

    I was sick with flu last weekend and early into the week. I never get sick so it came as a real surprise.  Get better soon.
