Week Before the Wedding: When it rains...

It pours.  I'll admit- I always thought I'm calm, cool, and collected the week before my wedding.  And, overall, I'd say I'm doing pretty well.  Of course, I owe all of this to Mr. Pencils, bridesmaid CH who is in town to help out and bridesmaid AT who's driven up to help out too.

Because it feels that the universe is slightly working against my sanity this week.  Overall, everything is ok, but as stress has risen for the wedding, life has risen to meet it too.

Boomer got sick.  It was sad.  I took her to the vet and got her some antibiotics and she seemed to be doing better- then we took her back in for the updated shots she needs to go to our local puppy place while we're on our honeymoon- and she hobbled around for two days as her hip was inflamed from the vaccination.  It was so painful to watch her in pain, and I felt so awful when I tried to soothe her and hit a sore spot.

Then, Mr. Pencils found eleven thousand dollars in fraudulent charges on his credit/debit card...and when we had been told it was being taken off and investigated, the charges showed up again.  Apparently as they are investigating, they keep the charges there.  Swell.  He was so calm when he found this out- I was freaking out more than he was.  Thank goodness Mr. P has a level of collectedness I seem to be quickly losing.

Then I get an email from my work that they have forgotten to take out my medical deductions for the past six months..so they will be deducting additional money from my upcoming paychecks!  Sweet!  The bright side?  It's 500 dollars that I got to have as we planned and paid for the wedding- but paying it backs sucks.

I'm sorry to be such a Debbie Downer- but in reality, despite all of these things happening, I feel pretty chill.  I have had a few moments in the last few days where Mr. P or CH has had to say "it's ok, everything is going to get done," but other than that- I've held it together.  It helps that I've taken some time to indulge my artistic side...which you'll see quite soon.

And just in case it really DOES rain for the wedding, I went off to Target and bought some these babies so we can get some wicked awesome photos on Saturday:

How do you plan on staying calm the week before the wedding?  How DID you?
