October 2012 Weddings

Just in a funk

I realize I am old enough to have been mother to many of you, and wonder often if my enthusiasm is appropriate! I love my FI, and feel incredibly blessed that (especially after such a difficult first marriage and subsequent divorce) he is mine. This week just has me spent.

The personality differences can be overwhelming. I am ridiculously plan and detail oriented. Not having all his addresses and not having our invitations printed has me way over thinking.

Sunday, my Dad and one of my sisters took my Grandmother to the hospital. They confirmed a TIA and released her. This is on the heels of my 2nd cousin's suicide 2-3 weeks ago. Yesterday, I had a biopsy after two abnormal/atypical paps. Today, I ran to the clinic - I shopped for Grandmother Sunday and cut my leg on a shelf at Walmart - it is now badly infected. So, tetanus and antibiotic script in hand, I completed my form to mail in - my luggage was stolen from the airport in July. The airline is handling as lost luggage, the police asked if I would be willing to prosecute.

FI is dear - he read over the claim form, he took me to the doctor, he told Grandmother WE are at her beck and call. I just feel so overwhelmed, and know he is worried. I needed some place to say here is my whine, now life goes on.

Thanks for being that place :)

Re: Just in a funk

  • I think there's something in the air today! I got an email from my coordinator just checking in and going over  details and all of a sudden....I got very emotional reading it. I mean it's just an email. Nothing NEAR what you've had to go through but my response to it was similar to yours! Granted, I am packing up my life to move across the country to be with my FI but still! Everythinng was just humming along and (like you) I had a pretty good handle on all the details and planning. Is it the stress of the wedding coming so soon? Are we all just syncing up with our cycles (lol)? Or maybe you and I just need some good ol' chocolate! I"m not sure!
    I just know that you seem very sweet in  your posts (and you don't look old enough to be my mom!) and I hope get out of this funk soon! :)

    Feel free to whine anytime, that what this board is for :)

  • {HUGS}  First, don't think that you are old, (you either Steph) and you are allowed to be as enthusiastic as you want.  This is my second marriage and I am so excited about it!!  Second, I am sending you some lucky vibes so things will get better quicker.  Just remember if you win big in the lottery, you owe me. lol.  You should take some time justto relax, even if it for 5 or 10 minutes.  You will feel better.  Oh and venting here will make you feel better too I am sure.

  • Today is a new day, and I do feel better. Ironically, I did receive a 'thank you for applying .. going with another candidate letter' LOL but I am really ok with that. I wont have to worry about new duties interfering with my HM.

    Thank you for your encouragement and kind words! I did get to order our cake topper this week, and even found a small gift for FI on our wedding day.

    Happy Thursday, ladies!
