It's amazing what a little quiet will do for my peace of mind. It's only four more days until the wedding but I haven't stressed at all this week. Maybe it's because my kids are out of town, visiting my parents, so I have less to worry about. Jimmy & I are getting things done at a good rate and I'm not freaking out that Friday will arrive with a ton left to do. As usual, when my kids are gone, I make too many plans with friends and that's put a little bit of a pinch on my evenings. For instance, tonight I'm going for drinks with my favorite coworker, then I need to get my manicure & pedicure AND my good friend, Heather is supposed to be coming over to visit. Did I mention I also need to do laundry and clean tonight? :-)
This week work seems to be more of an interruption of real life...there is so much I need to get done outside of work. Thankfully the week has gone by relatively quickly. Tomorrow they are throwing me a shower/luncheon here which will be very nice. Jimmy is off work tomorrow night so we will finish up the shopping and probably go out to dinner for our anniversary (it's been three years tomorrow). Friday will be filled with small stuff..finishing up cleaning, picking up the flowers and making them all up, etc. Someone just asked me this morning if I'm nervous and I'm not. Not at all, I'm just excited. I'm ready to be married.

19 days and counting...
19 more days before my wedding and now I'm starting a blog? Shouldn't I have started it about 2 1/2 years ago when my beloved actually proposed??? Pshaw...why go with logic? My life these days is all about countdowns, and ticking little items off of a very large list. Thankfully, between God, my sweetie and my friends, I'm still sane (and if you don't agree, keep your opinion to yourself!) and I hope to remain that way until the day before the wedding when I can begin running around like a chicken with my head cut off and turn into Bridezilla!
To keep myself from obsessing constantly over wedding details such as what flowers would look best in my daughter's hair or which champagne would be best, I've been keeping myself busy with my kiddos. This week we're spending TONS of quality time (i.e. me sitting under a puppy pile of kids while watching horrible cartoons like The Fairly Odd Parents) together. My baby girl has been extremely sensitive lately, crying for her birth father and asking why he never calls or sees them. What should a Christian woman, who is attempting to be the best mother that she can be, say to that? I'm getting very good at repeating "I don't know honey."
Beyond the horrid cartoons, we have also watched all of the Harry Potter movies lately and threw a new flick into the mix when we watched The Seeker: The Dark is Rising. It didn't even come close to the book, of course, but the movie was pretty decent. Once the kids are in bed, I've been losing myself in books. Those of you who know me, know that I am an absolute book fiend. I've been reading, on average, four books a week. I think I might start reviewing them in my blogs as well, for those of you who are looking for new reading material. (Look at me, talking to the nonexistent group of people who AREN'T reading my blog!)
As for the wedding (a topic I can't avoid for very long as you can see), we applied for our marriage license on Monday and I will be picking it up on Thursday. After that, all we really have left to do it get the rest of J's suit and then the drinks, champange & appetizers for after the ceremony. The RSVP's are due by Friday. I'm interested to see how many of J's family actually RSVP. They haven't been good at that in the past....
Ok ok...enough of my wedding rant. God bless!
