Scrambled eggs brain

People we have twelve days until the wedding. 12! [insert blurry-eyed-sweaty-pits panic mode].  We have been so busy getting things moved and put together at the new apartment and keeping up with all of our normal responsibilities that I sort of just pushed the whole wedding thing to the back of my mind.  Also we have totally neglected to keep-up with our paper-chain countdown...it says we have 18 days left...

You know that feeling you get the night before school starts and you have your outfit laid out and your backpack all ready and you feel totally set?  And then you go to bed all excited for the next day but have a dream that you go off to the first day of school and you aren't wearing any pants and you try to pretend like everything is cool but everyone else is like...umm, where are your pants? 

Yeah.  That's how I feel right now. 

I have so many running lists in my head, on paper, in my phone, in Dan's phone, all over that everything is getting mixed up liked scrambled eggs.  Yesterday I thought I was supposed to teach in the pre-k class at church and I prepared a lesson and everything and then realized that I wasn't on the schedule.  And who is in charge of the schedule?  Oh yeah, that's me. I only know it's Monday today because I'm at work.  I can't keep anything straight.  How can anyone expect me to be productive right now? 

Therefore I will blog about all of this so I can make sense of it in my head.  Bare with me and try not to get stressed out yourself.
