bragplaint: overwhelmed :(

Before you say boo hoo husky, I just need to get this out.

We leave for Europe on Saturday morning and I'm super stressed out. I'm not done with laundry or even thinking about packing, I have a shitton of work I need to get done before we go, I have a million and a half errands to run tonight so that our house sitter has everything they need and B has everything she needs, B's lump is getting biopsied tomorrow, H keeps saying he feels really bad leaving B, and I'm so behind on booking hotels and other stuff for our trip to New Zealand too. I'm also really nervous leaving B because I'm afraid that the people that are coming to house sit for us won't pay enough attention to her. Oh and I'm still waiting on the results of my interview from last week. They said they'd have a decision made by this week, but nothing yet.

If I were a SAHW all of this would be taken care of. If I just had one full day to get stuff done I could do it, but I don't have enough time. H is even more stressed out than I am right now, so I hate to ask him to help

Ok, now you can tell me to STFU.

I'm sorry UW. That does sound super stressful. That's why I usally plan a day off before and a day off after vacations.

And now I will tell you to go fly a kite for complaining about everything you have to do so you can go to Europe and how dare you have to plan a trip to New Zeland. It much be just aweful.

uw: take a day off of work to get everything you need to do at home done. catch up on work the next day, w/o stressing about stuff you need to do, enjoy your trip!...........oh wait. you leave saturday. just take an extra day off work early. last day of work before vacay isn't usually productive anyway

my braigplaint: i've lost so much weight lately it's "annoying". my wedding ring doesn't fit anymore, it's super loose and irritating. i don't want to get it resized (yet) because who knows how much more weight will be falling off of me.

I wish I could take the day off tomorrow, but I have 3 meetings scheduled that I can't miss.

I might have to come down with food poisoning if I don't get enough done tonight.

Thanks for letting me vent.

You have time, don't worry about packing until tonight when you can pack with a wine glass in your hand!

[mkate710]

I'm sorry UW. I get super stressed right before a vacation too. I'm jealous of your vacation, but this isn't a bragplaint. Just keep telling yourself it will all be over very soon and you'll be sitting on a plane to Europe. And yes, pack with a glass of wine in hand!

Vas is das? ;D But looooook, he who was so dead set against dog feels badly for dog? Sounds like someone is getting attached!

Do you want one of us to come and check on B for you?

Ummm he totally went to petsmart (unprovoked) the other day during lunch and bought her more toys so that she isn't lonely. SMH.

That's really sweet, but I think I'm just worrying unnecessarily. I have 2 friends that are going to come live at our house while we're gone, so they'll be with B while we're gone.

[FrozenSunshine]

When in doubt, buy it on your trip.

[sarack]

so you're leaving b??? you will be fine and she'll be fine without you. everything will get done, and if it doesn't, it'll be ok.
