Upcoming Wedding and Mother's Day

I am zoning out from all the preparations that still need doing for the wedding in less than 30 days. Our to do lists seems never ending. I just got my list of baking items to get, and appetizer ingredients. I have a large box of tupperware containers. I rewashed all my pans, but I have very few for the squares we want to create. Thankfully some help will be available next week, but honestly I don't know what will become of that baking day.

Today I remembered that I missed an eye appointment that my specialist has set up. I have two crowns that I'd like to have finished before the wedding day. I need my hair dyed, highlighted, prior to the wedding and styled on the day of the wedding. That means multitudes of trip to the dentist and hair dresser. I have sacrificed for years with hairstylists, manicurist and even with the cosmetics of dentistry. My family was more important than I and they still are. Most parents understand the implication and magnitude of this sentence. However, some catch up is needed with my immediate needs. Meanwhile, the clothes have to be ironed, and made ready along with the table cloths for the several functions before us, such as bridal shower and rehearsal dinner. A pew will have to be brought up from my garage to seat the many people. ( I talked about the pew in an earlier blog). Three fold up tables will have to be borrowed, and shipped to various places.

I'm hoping to do my own make up. Possibly a big mistake.. but I'll check out some you tube video's on how it's done. I'm hoping to wear contacts as well. That will be an adventure after 35 years of wearing glasses. Shoes are still not even on the horizon. No glimpse of where to get a comfortable one to wear the entire day of photo's and visiting with everyone at the tables.

I find I am not much use to the young couple who now wants to get the suite all decked out. They are so ambitious, wanting more lighting, new back splash tiles in the kitchen, and carpet in one of the bedrooms. I even saw a small chandelier that will ornate their ceiling. I told my girl that I like the chandelier that was in the Titanic, and today I go and see hers. It is a tiny thing with the metal parts painted white, very cute, but not like I imagined. They are meeting with pastor's and flower girls, and the list goes on... and on..and on..

Lack of sleep is not helping either. At 2 am I awoke to someone playing with an electric car back and forth on our street. I went out to talk to the fella. He says it is apparently allowed by bi-laws and he thinks it is a hobby that keeps him out of trouble. Nice, now I get to either call bi-laws or accept the noise of an almost UFO like landing in front of our house over and over again. I agreed, it is a nice hobby, but it would be even better if he moved his vehicle over to the parking lot in the park across the road. It seems like everyone was out on the street at 2 am. The neighbors daughter was out smoking with two of her girlfriends. They finally left to go to a party, with someone's car. I was simply looking for a way to dispose of my many folded boxes as it was recycling day. What an asortment of folks on our quiet crescent street!

Health issue is a big one for my dear husband. We are waiting for more procedure appointments. We are waiting on God for the resources, inner strength to go through with all of this. I had the energy to write two Mother's day letter's to our mom's. We have to mail it tomorrow. Though a little late, I hope it will cheer our mom. I'm reminded that I am now never going to get a card from Deborah, no smile, no hug, no nothing. My memory is her telling me twice on that dreadful day before she left for work, that she loved me.
