Echoes.

Dallas was a ton of fun.
Not only did I get a little tipsy with one of my best friends and my photographer, but I was able to see another awesome friend and get some major ribbonage done.

Okay, so the re-ribboning of the soaps took about 10  minutes,… much less than we expected because we discovered, to our delight, that the original ribbons were still tied – had just been slipped off – and were easily reinstated in their original positions.

Shoe shopping was a bust.  Apparently gold shoes are going out QUICKLY and I’d recommend for any of my girls that they get them RIGHT NOW – the number of shoes out there has diminished dramatically.
Krista and I spent hours looking and getting more and more frustrated.
Think cranky kids in a candy store – knowing we’re not able to eat any.
I guess that doesn’t really apply.
This is like the candy store that ran out of candy.
Yes, that’s a better example.

I definitely am blessed that I have such an awesome friend helping me on the wedding.
I don’t get to see my friends much – I can only socialize on the weekends and even then I’m done by 9 at night.
It feels very much like I never get to see anyone.

And with my MASSIVE… hugely massively MASSIVE to do list, it’s getting to be a little stressful.

Today was the first day of school for Abbey – which means that we’re back to going back and forth between the two residences in order to keep with the custody agreement.
And this is frustrating as well – because all of my projects have many parts – and I can’t lug them around constantly.
I won’t have enough time – have enough effort.
And I REALLY don’t want to live with anyone else having had that break.

So… I’m not entirely sure what I’m going to do.
I’m literally starting to head-to-toe panic about the details and what isn’t done.
And the weight of that… bah.

I’ll figure out something though.
K’s been an awesomely huge help and Manda is so great with all her suggestions.
Mom is being so patient with me and even Abbey is getting excited about parts of it.

I just… I’m tired and I’m stressed today.
I miss my friends.
I need help.
I need money, as does everyone.
And I need people not to give me stress or drama regarding stupid things.
And I need to have gotten into bed earlier last night.

Boo to insomnia.
