When I got up today I was already getting excited that I would only have to get up early for two more days. I was stressing about getting to work because today was meeting day and I wanted to get there on time. After I was half way through getting ready for work I remembered that I wasn't scheduled for the early meeting anyway, but I still did get to work on time to cover. It was a pretty steady day which got very busy the last few hours. Due to that fact I didn't get to go to the meeting at the end of the day:( It ended up being well after 4pm when I finally left work and I rushed home because I knew my parents were coming tonight, but I wasn't sure what time.
It was about 5pm when my parents showed up and I was very glad to see them, I wasn't in the mood to be alone. I had decided earlier today that I would suggest going to a local Mediterranean restaurant for dinner, to celebrate my Father's Birthday. They said they had eaten a lot the past few days but were both up for it. I took a quick shower then we headed out to dinner. I ate a lot more than I should have and feel pretty gross now. I had several pieces of pita bread, a side salad and chicken with roasted peppers, spinach and provolone cheese on top. All of that doesn't sound so bad but the chicken was totally swimming in oil and I definitely ate several calories of pita bread. To make matters worse I came home and ate the piece of cake my parents brought me from my Father's Birthday celebration at my sisters house! I can't resist home made cake especially made by my twin sister. I am so stressed out that I'm going to gain all of the weight I lost back. It's making me so anxious that I didn't even really enjoy going out tonight:(
Once we got home I emptied the dishwasher, which I had run yesterday, then folded the laundry. The rest of the night was taken up by more work on my registry which ended up with my Mother and I arguing. She was being very difficult with all of my decisions and was definitely making me even more stressed. I get that she has helped two of my three sisters get married, therefore she has a lot of experience, but I don't like her trying to guide every decision I make to fit her desires. Even when we spoke about the wedding DJ she was already telling me to get another one. She was upset about the fact that he told us we have to trust him to play some mood lifting songs at opportune moments. She feels that we should dictate every sing song that is played but I neither have the time or patience to do that.
I'm actually surprised that my hands aren't ruined after this long day, but I didn't have time to really do any cleaning around the house tonight so that helped. My fiancé and I have an appointment with the wedding planner tomorrow after work, then we're going to work on our registry again. It's going to be another long day. Alright, until next time.
I'm going to side with the DJ vs. your mother in the 'mood lifting' debate. This was a real issue at my wedding. I thought I should dictate every song and you know what? I had a big old dead spot in my wedding when NO ONE was dancing and I couldn't figure out why and didn't know what to do. I was like wandering alone between tables at my own wedding and no one was talking to anyone. Dinner was over and no one was dancing! I was like what is going on - twilight zone! What I was missing was a good DJ to positively encourage people to get out on the floor and mix it up! This is the job the DJ does which I was oblivious to at the time. There is a certain amount of trust involved, but its a leap of faith you have to take. Good luck - I know it will be a beautiful fun wedding!
