  Can your mom drive you to the store or can you take a cab? Go fry yourself a greasy egg, slug back some coffee and figure it out. What you don't need is to be loosing business. 

  
  

  Everything is going to be fine, but you need to be proactive right now, not crying in bed.

  
  

  Also, when it comes to last minute stuff, really think about what is important. All the big, important stuff should be done by now, so if that means skipping programs and moving your nail apt to after business hours, do it.

  I'm sorry! What a sucky situation. What time do you have to be there? 

  
  

  I agree that you don't want to lose any business. Find a way to get there. Get yourself a big breakfast and a large coffee. Take some advil and chug water. 

  
  

  How long to you have to be there today?

  Ugh, I'm so sorry. Try your hardest to just focus on what needs to be done in the next hour. Don't think past the next hour. Repeat during the day.
  
  And it sounds like you had a kickass bachelorette party, so congrats!
  
  Also, I agree with @RebeccaFlower‌. If something isn't done for the wedding by now, there is a good chance that it isn't important. And I'm glad your mom is so helpful!
  
  It really will be fine.

  I'm sorry you are dealing with this. The PP's have given great advice.

  
  

  Get out of bed, pop some asprin, drink lots of water, and eat something greasy. Then call your mom and have her drive you to the store and process the orders. Once that is done, if you don't need to be open all day, just close up and head home.

  
  

  RebeccaFlower is right, this is not the time to wallow in bed. I know it sucks but you can do this. Everythign will be okay and if these small details don't get done, it won't be the end of the world.

  The store opens at 10, I'm hoping to be there by 10:30, so my mom can go do her stuff.
  
  I've realized how stupid my crying is and pulled my shit together, that's very unlike me.
  
  It's just so frustrating because I never take any time off. Seriously, 6 days a week, 12 hours a day. It comes with owning your own business, so I never complain about it, but I haven't had a day off, other than a Sunday, since Christmas. You would think the week of my wedding, my employees could pull their shit together. I feel like the one who called in sick is lying about it. She's supposed to go away tonight, but said she could work today. I didn't question her on being sick, but I'm pissed.
  
  Today is when I'm supposed to go get my bridesmaids gifts, pick up the wine for for the wedding, stuff like that. So it's not even like it's a 'me' day. Now I have to work until 6pm.
  
  Sobering up is happening now. We were just supposed to go out for dinner last night, not drinking afterwards. But I'm a grown ass woman, I can do this.
  
  Just venting... in the grand scheme of things, this isn't that big of a deal

  Get yourself some cherry coke and tater tots!  A carbonated sugary beverage and greasy fried potatoes will work wonders  
  
  Be careful on the pain relievers--those are processed through your liver just like the booze, and it sounds like you already worked it out pretty hard last night!  Be extra careful with aspirin. 
  
  Also, everyone is saying to chug water?  Am I the only one that will puke my guts out if I chug water while hungover?  Sometimes even not hungover water makes my tummy all icky

  I totally understand what it feels like when you can't rely on your employees. My old assistant was like this. The ONE time I called in sick, she called in sick too and I had to drag myself here with the flu. 

  
  

  You can do this! Once you get moving, you'll feel better.

  Hang in there ILoveCake! It's all sucky but you can do this! Take two Advils and a cup of nice strong coffee. You type pretty good for someone who's still drunk lol. The good thing about working hours? They all go by and come to an end at some point! Good luck! ETA: My bachelorette party is tonight. I'm scared shitless what those girls are gonna do to me.

  Glad you're pulling yourself together. I would be pissed at my employee, too. Can your mom cover you once you get the big stuff done for a few hours so you can still get your gifts are everything. Are you taking the next two days off?

  Autocorrect is my friend!
  
  I'm at work (hating life though). Called a cab to get here. Not like I was crazy drunk, but shouldn't have been driving. I had a friend who got a DUI the morning after drinking, so I'm definitely on the cautious side with that.
  
  It's my aunt's bday today (she's a reader at my wedding, we're pretty close). I'm supposed to go over for dinner tonight but just called and cancelled so I can go out and get a lot of my stuff done.
  
  I am working tomorrow and Friday, other than the few hours I'm going out for my hair trial (which was supposed to be last week, but the hair stylist was sick. Damn sick people) and my nail appointment. Thankfully I have more reliable employees in the rest of the week
