Only a little over a month to the wedding and life is like this:

Between work and wedding planning Im about to drop. Im sick of driving in NY, Im sick of having no time to do normal people stuff like clean the house & having shit constantly pile up or god forbid, go relax at the pool that is a 2 second walk from our townhouse. im sick of having not one day to be like, ok today i can breathe, i dont have to do 20 things. I havent spent more than 1 hour at the beach and 1 hour at the pool the entire summer.

yesterday my day went like this:

6:30a alarm

6:30-7a snooze

7a-730 excersize

730-8 shower, dress and leave house

8-9a drive to work

9a - 6p (work, i left "early" at 6p today and Im technically "late" b/c im suppossed to be at work at 8:30a but i snooze b/c im exhausted)

6p-7:30p drive to tailor to get FIs suit tailored before the woman closes. Driving time takes so long due to good ole NY traffic (plus im travelling from queens, ny where i work to jersey city, nj where i live)

7:30-7:40p drive to mall

7:40p-930p shopping for something to wear for wedding we are going to this weekend

9:30-9:40p grab dinner at mall during closing hours

9:40-10p drive home

10p home now...giant box at door...its a chair i ordered

10p-10:30p mess with the chair w/ FI, it didnt want to go together so gave up for now / went to computer to send some emails i promised I would send & watch some tv

11p i think passed out on couch at this point

1am woke up from couch/ FI is awake and full of energy?? / he wants me to look at the revised seating chart for the wedding.

1:30a back to sleep in bed

9a back to work today...uggghhhh.. happy its friday, not having a great day at work, not looking too forward to the busy weekend anymore and just really cant wait for the honeymoon.

ok, not every day is like this, some days I just stay at work until 8 or 8:30p and i get nothing done at home. i think my commute is killing me or at least giving me extra gray hairs!!!

It's good to Let it out!! I know it doesn't make you feel better but just know that you're not alone & so many other ladies are going through this also! Just hang in there! It'll all be worth it & remember what the big day is about!  I totally feel ya! I'm starting to wish I would've listened to my man & eloped on a beach somewhere! 20 days left to go for us!...., funny you mentioned the pool, I was thinking the same thing--we have an in-ground pool in the back yard & I've been in it twice this summer & we're officially closing it now  :(  

Hang in there! Everything will be great in a little over a month!  :)

Good advice foxy... we need to keep reminding ourselves what our big days are all about.  These messagesboard have been a great place for us all to get things off our shoulders and let off some steam.

This summer has not been full of the normal summer fun for me either.  I have been living away from home since February.  I am part of a training program at work, that has been living in different provinces for 3 months at a time.  I have been living on the opposite side of the country this summer... a four hour time difference between me and my fiance.  It sucks.  I fly home once a month, for 4 or 5 days and that's it.  And forget about relaxing and enjoying eachothers company while I am home.  Home = Wedding Planning.  Last trip home, I spent 3 days making invitations.  Next week I go home to meet with vendors, get our marriage license etc.

Yes, I am SUPER excited about our wedding... but I am ready for the wedding day to get here already.  I'm ready to be married.  I also ready to be back home, for good.  Basically, I fly home for my wedding next month, then leave again.  It's tough.  This has been such a long year.  Why does everything have to happen all at once?  ALl in the same year?

Ohhhh welllll... Life could be MUCH worse! :)  I'm marrying the man of my dreams next month.  That's all that matters.

There.  Now that I have gotten that off my chest. 

Pinkninja, I feel your stress... hope you get through this busy weekend :)

I am feeling exactly the same way !, you should see my house its a complety mess everywhere , because i am so tiered every night i come home from work and the entiry weekend full busy with our new home and the wedding !! and also do you girls have that as well. i need to buy like tons of things and i dont now when to do that i leave work at 5:30 stores close at 6:00 i am never on time, and i need my free holiday days for my honeymoon.. arghh i want it to be 25 september put on my lovely gown have a great day and then leave to indonesia for our honeymoon :)

thanks ladies. feels good to not be alone. the stress has totally been getting to me and FI.

@wonderwoman - god, your schedule is crazy. Prior to the enagagment FI was 4 hours away on a job in Boston for 5 months and it was very hard to be apart. luckily we didnt have to fly back in forth to see eachother but the bus rides were long.

@leeila

i hear you on the stores. this clerk at macys had such a bad attitude the other night when we were checking out. he was like "you people had all afternoon to shop, why are you all waiting until closing time??" Oh, I dunno, maybe it s b/c WE WORK !!!

Yes, the lack of vacation days is getting me down too! :P  I used 4 days vacation for my sister's wedding last month and saved 6 vacation days for my own wedding... that's all the vacation I get.  My vacation days replenish in March, so hopefully that's when we can honeymoon.  I need a "real" vacation!  Haha.

@Leeila... I hear ya... I just wanna get my dress on and have my wedding :)  BTW, your dress is gorgeous!!!

@pinkninja... It's hard being apart, isn't it?  I am flying home tomorrow night.  I'm taking the red eye... leaving at 8 pm and with the time change, arriving home at 7 am... a few days at home will do me some good I think.  I should feel more at ease about the wedding too, once I get a few things done.
