It's May, already ?

A few months ago, a bride-to-be started a blog about her upcoming adventures. She was non-chalant about how much lay ahead for her and seemed almost excited for the challenge.

Under every cool, calm and collected bride lies a beast named "bridezilla". As much as I, er I mean the very put-together bride-to-be, seems to "have it all together", there comes a point when you are just ready to chuck it all out the window and elope.

This morning - I had the feeling of how did I let everything spiral out of control? Granted the wedding is not tomorrow, nor is it even next week - but suddenly it feels as though I am so far behind that I will need to spend every waking moment doing wedding stuff, moving or cleaning 108. But perhaps it is not far from the truth.......

The "plan" was to get through the selling the house stuff in order to then focus again on the wedding planning. I had a few days off work for the beginning of this month - so I figured May 1st would be the day it all came together. I could get the info for the rehearsal, email stuff for the showers, stop by the florist one more time, and about a hundred other little things that keep piling up. Unfortunately, May1st came and went without so much a load of laundry done as I used my day off to lay on the couch and sleep because I wasn't feeling well.

Obviously, I needed the rest and I am glad I was at home and not at work - but it put me behind. That Thursday I ended up working instead of staying home and Friday's garage sale preparation took up a whole day. Saturday was the garage sale and Sunday was rip up the carpet day.

Nine days into the month and I have very little to show for it. Steve has been feeling under the weather the last few days - so I can only delegate so much to him. So today has been catch up day - with each phone call, email and to do scratched off my list I feel a little better. I know just as any sane person does that it will all get done and Steve has given full rights to be in uber-bitch mode the last few days - I just didn't want to be this stressed about any of it.

So, I have learned my lesson - wedding planning needs to be almost a daily to do and cannot be put on the back burner for too long. Thank goodness I have family and friends that will listen to me as a morph in and out of a bridezilla like phase.
