One Week To Go

So we are officially one week out from the wedding and well I had my first major, tears included, freak out moment. It wasn't really a bridezilla moment but more of a Pam is trying to do too much and without enough time, no priorities moment. As most people know I have quit my job at 3t and will start a new job when we return from our Honeymoon on March 9. So last week I didn't work, which was amazing! I didn't really sleep in, but I did sleep till 7am, which was AMAZING! However somehow the week filled up with errands, dog walks, vet appointments, laundry, cleaning, cooking, etc. Now it is Saturday and I officially went nutso about my list I had of things to do. Here is the list...

1. Instructions for Julia (she is watching our house while we are gone) - was supposed to do this Friday but ran out of time.
2. Contact info and dates gone for the neighbors
3. Instructions for the dog - could probably do in Oregon
4. Schedule and tasks for Ali
5. Print out and organize vendor stuff
6. Print out schedule of week
7. Go to the Dump
8. Organize the garage
9. Library
10. Finish Sanding
11. Schedule one last fitting
12. Laundry
12. Boarding Pass
13. Pack Kaiser toys and some food
14. File and organize papers
15. Pack!

So as you can see some of this stuff isn't really pertinent to leaving and that is what I freaked out about. Trav and I have still been working on the office we started over Chirstmas. We finally got the drywall up a couple weeks ago and did the step of joint compounding the sems, on two walls and the whole ceiling. So this week I figured sweet I can finish sanding and we can be that much closer. So I totally underestimated how long it would take to sand, because I sanded both walls of drywall, the two walls that the original owner had plastered over and textured, YUCK, and the ceiling. So finally today we are done sanding BUT with it came me crying, frustrated and now freaking out about getting everything else done before I leave. Not my best decision but it is what I thought I should do. So I am trying to calm down, stop stressing and focus on the things that need to be completed or me to leave. Not the things I would like to be done before I leave. So this eliminates well not a whole lot but it makes me feel better :)

So one week to go and I am back to my list!
