Overwhelmed!

I am having an overwhelming week.  Lots of preparations for a wedding, lots of family visiting and  on top of that, some unexpected stress.  I've learned from the past that when things are like this, I need to just focus on just the basics.  Forget the usual routine but keep up with a few essentials.  I'm trying to make sure the laundry is kept up, the dishes are done each night before I go to bed and the living areas are kept clear of clutter (no easy task!).  If I can do those things, the rest can wait until life is back to normal.  If I don't do those things, I get this wild eyed look and EVERYTHING seems out of control.

I might not get a blog post published every day this week (I'll try though) and I definitely won't be seen outside weeding the garden, but the house will at least look like it's running smoothly and the stresses will get taken care of and the wedding will be beautiful and I'll soon have a new son in law.

Sometimes, that's just the way it is...  :)
