It's Oooookaaaaay

I seriously need some help.  Please, someone come take some of this dang Halloween candy out of my house and away from my reach!  I have done nothing but eat for at least 4 days straight.  If it fits in my mouth then I have consumed it...binge galore.

A stress eater (yep, that would be me) and stress (yep, pretty much surrounded by it) plus all kinds of Halloween junk makes for a very dangerous situation.  It is also making me fat. Or fatter, depending on your perspective.  Either way, I am positive I have gained about 5 pounds.  And I am really not exaggerating.  I don't have a scale but I feel bigger and my clothes are a little snug.   Oh the joys of stress eating...

And don't ask me why I'm on the computer...I should be packing. Getting the girls packed.  Finalizing conference things.  Wrapping up some work things. Cleaning my house.  There are a bazillion things I should be doing...but I'm not.  I'm in so-overwhelmed-screw-it mode.  Or something like that.

We did decide to attend the funeral. Nothing better than last minute travel! It's just been so crazy the last few days getting everything in place and trying to coordinate plans, kid arrangements, and all the other stuff that goes with it. 

I did find someone to take care of the conference things for me - I am SO fortunate to have such great friends.  Really, what would I do without the amazing people in my life?  Thank you dear, sweet, and completely capable L.R.  I owe you.

I am trying my hardest to make sure everything is in place and set...I just feel so bad about having someone step in at the last minute and I am worried that I'm going to forget something or something will happen and she'll be stuck with a mess.  I can't stand the thought of doing that to someone. 

And I hate that I won't be there to meet and greet my exhibitors.  I've been working/corresponding with these people for several months - some of them I worked with last year - so I feel we've built relationships.  And I had planned to have these cute little packages for each of them...and I was going to make personalized TRiO thank you cards...I love doing that kind of stuff.

Yeah, that won't be happening - I just don't have time. 

I've got to let it go and just realize that it's okay if it doesn't get done. It's oooookaaaaay. You have to say it really slow - somehow that's suppose to make it sound more believable, didn't you know?

So it's after midnight and the hourglass is draining away...I really need to get our packing done.  I'm pretty sure I just heard the dryer stop.  Which is something strange and completely random but my dryer doesn't have a buzzer. Am I the only one that thinks that's weird?  I mean, how are you suppose to know when the clothes are dry?  It's not an exceptionally noisy dryer so it's heard to hear unless the laundry door is open and it's just dead silent, which is like never.  And that would be why my clothes are always wrinkled.  Well, that and my lack of domestic skills.

Going to get the clothes, throw them together and get packing off my list because I've got some serious work to do.  But I'm not going to worry, it will all be oooookaaaaay.
