Just to show you how scattered I’ve been lately, I almost didn’t do a post for today- but then I remembered I’M ONE OF THE HOSTS for Tuesday Topics! I mean, I can barely remember that it’s Tuesday, much less that I host a link-up.
Anyway. Here I am! Here’s the thing- I’m currently not running because of a hip/hamstring issue, and whenever I can’t run, it feels like my whole life falls apart. Which is interesting, because I’m pretty sure my life is working about as well as it normally does, so it’s obviously my attitude that’s making things hard.
I’m sure this is a great chance for me to learn valuable lessons, but I’m tired of learning. Why can’t my life just be a series of one pleasant experience after another? Sheesh.
Other than the fact that I’ve been spending way more time than I would like on the StairMaster, here’s what’s going on…
The wedding!!! One week from today I will be on my way to Indiana!!! I’ll get there several days early to help out. Bridal shower is on Thursday, rehearsal and rehearsal dinner on Friday, wedding is Saturday (the 25th).
Right now my husband and I have one job, which is to organize the rehearsal dinner. I created an evite, which was vetoed by the bride-to-be (I guess dancing tacos were too casual, HRUMPH!) That’s okay though, because I still haven’t been given the list of names and email addresses so I can’t send anything out yet anyway. Also, they just changed the venue yesterday.
To be clear, I know no one is purposely thwarting me. They are BUSY and probably pretty stressed out at this point. I can feel myself becoming inappropriately frustrated by these events.
Last night I COULD NOT SLEEP. I kept thinking of all the little details, such as- I’m flying up by myself on Tuesday morning. My husband, daughter, and her boyfriend are coming Thursday night. Right now the plan is for me to check a suitcase which contains all our formalwear, allowing the rest of the family to travel light with only a carryon.
Is this really a good idea? The more I think about it, the less I like it. Will the clothes travel well that way? Will we all look wrinkled and disheveled? What if the suitcase gets LOST? GAHHHHH! Can I fit all the clothes in one garment bag that I carry on the plane with me?
At least my daughter’s hair came out well! By that I mean, she’s happy with it. It’s not too neon, and anyway, she’s not a bridesmaid so it really doesn’t matter.
Okay, it’s just about time for bed, aka time for me to take an Advil pm so I’m not tossing and turning all night.
