Mild panic attack today...

Thank you, Melle. We did an alien brain disection for our last Halloween party, so this year, we're upping the ante doing the entire body as an open body autopsy and need enough food and games for 140 people. Our girls want big birthday parties, and it'll be their 2nd year at a new school (they haven't been at any school this long since 2017, so it's a really big deal to them and we don't want to disappoint them). FH is a semi driver, so he comes up with these awesome ideas, but he's only home 34 hours a week, so all the execution is on me. We host roughly 40 people for each holiday meal, too. I feel like I'm not going to have a break until my honeymoon

Thank you, DJ. I had never heard of the lemon thing before, so I'm definitely going to give that a try. FH is a semi driver, so he left earlier, and the girls just went to bed at 9...I'm having a salted caramel whiskey and watching Big Bang Theory. That's as close to relaxing as I get these days I appreciate the advice!!!

Yoga or some other breathing activity. Take 15 - 30 minutes for yourself everyday (I know it's sounds impossible, but I know you can do it) and do something JUST for you. Personally, MYTIME is a hot bath with the doors closed and no interruption. It gives me time to just think about my own needs for a few minutes. Yoga is also a great help, but my FH and I have found that's "our thing"

I understand getting overwhelmed it's not uncommon, but know this... you've got this. You've been super organized until now, just keep on the same path and everything will work out.

Thank you, Margaret. I'm feeling better today, and more optimistic. I really appreciate your supportive comments ::hugs:: one rough spell did not undo all the progress I had made on my projects for 2 of the events we're planning, I think I just had to feel the turmoil for a minute to then be able to pick myself up and get back to it, if that makes any sense.
