With 10 days to go ... I feel like my world is falling apart

Sigh. Breathe in. Breathe out.

WARNING: Major ranting session :(

1. With 11 days to go, our final numbers are 226 yes (+10 kids); 108 no. This is after stalking people down via facebook, email, phone, etc. Final numbers are due by Friday to the hotel. Lately people have been contacting me changing their RSVPs... sigh. which of course changes table assignments and changes cupcake labels... ahhhhhhh!

2. My eyes--> after my amazing bridal shower and fun/ memorable bachelorette party, i must have drank too much or threw up too much because I now have a sub-conjunctival hemorrhage (which in normal ppl's terms means that blood vessels popped or something in my eyes...) aka my eyes look like this: (please don't be grossed out)

3. I JUST ran out of ink on my printer... while printing programs. I got to 250 one sided copies. mmmm i need to make 700 double sided copies. I asked Kinkos how much would it be considering I'm supplying my own paper... they said $500. FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS?! freakin crazy. I'll just go out and buy more refillable ink. sigh.

4. I realized today, that I need to go out and cut down about 72-96 branches (4 per table on 24 tables). As I started freaking out, I realized that if I ordered artificial ones it would cost about $150 to have them shipped to me. Luckily, my awesome MOH said she would spend her Thursday night helping me cut branches. whew

After I freaked out on Mr. Mercy due to work frustrations and all of the above... he graciously, sweetly, and understandingly asked me how he can help and what he can do to take a load off my shoulders. (i love him. sigh) SO, Mr. Mercy shall do the slideshow and I shall worry about it no more. As there are more tasks I can't/ don't want to handle, it is nice to know that when I'm ready to relinquish control... he'll be there to help me through it and love my crazy self all the same. Cannot wait to be married to him!
