Anyone feel scatter brained?

[Lang2b]

I feel so lost even though I have all my wedding plans in certain piles and things but man I just keep coming down to last minute things and Im worried Im going to forget something. Uh my wedding is 8 weeks away and Im feeling so not prepared. I have ababy and when I try to sit down and do things (he's a mamas boy and is crawling now) he constantly is needing to be by me and get into all my stuff. So I'm excited tomorow I asked sil to babysit and she said yes so I'm taking the day to clean and do wedding things..yah just venting thanks for listening

Don't worry about it, we ALL go through that feeling.

In most any bridal mag (and I'm sure you can find them online) are checklists (12 months out, 8 months out, 6 months, 6 weeks, 2 weeks, 1 week, day before, etc....) to just kind of give you the framework for what you need to have done and by when. By no means do you have to adhere to these lists, BUT they might be a good way for you to get your head wrapped around things and it might help you remember things you might have forgotten about. Also, it'll make you feel BETTER when you can check things off as "done!"

Scatter brained? Oh yes. And overwhelmed. Big time. :)

I think we're normal. Or so I hope!

[garnet]

yup. scatter brained, overwhelmed.

I'm totally calm. But then again i'm just weird. :bbeek:

This is My Second Marriage so i know what to expect. So maybe that's why it's water off a ducks back in My case.

Anyhow. I can understand Your worries. And with a little One crawling around it must be a nightmare getting things sorted out. At least You have someone to depend on to look after Your Child so You can concentrate on Wedding Stuff and Home etc.
Even if it's for a few Hours. You'll be surprised how much You can achieve in such a short time.
And getting all the Decorative bits and pieces together and a good sort out of what needs doing where and when. Without the worry of "Little Hands" will be a God Send.

Have Fun and enjoy it.

*raises hand*

Yep.. me too! I feel like, while i have plans and i'm starting to put things together, everything is all over the place still.

As for the little guy.. mine's the same way.. he's starting to crawl, so putting him in his seat isn't working anymore..he just turns around in in and squirms everywhere. He knows when you're not paying attention to him and he'll start screaming until you stop what you're doing and play with him... ugh.. he's only 7 months and already spoiled!!! (but he's my first.. so entitled to that! lol)

Hang in there.. there's an end in sight!!! :D

I was so scatter brained a few weeks before the wedding. I could hardly function at work.LOL. someone would tell or ask me something and I would forget it 5 min later! Everyone in the office started telling me I had wedding brain.:grinhappy:

Scatter brianed is not even the word for it. I am less than 2 weeks out and just remembered that I have not even picked out the food for the reception yet!!! Now I just know I will forget something (and I doubt it will be minor).

SOME ONE HELP ME PLEASE!!!

[SunnyAB]

Yes.... I mean no... Wait - what was the question???? :D

Sorry - just being silly. There are times when I do feel overwhelmed - I'm not near my wedding date, so I'm sorry I can't relate to that specifically - but just in general, a good part of my life is deadlines of some sort or other, and my only saving grace is making my own lists. I just take a moment, write everything down - put in urgency order and then go from there. Really, most times I find that once I write it all down, its not as daunting as I thought. But I check and recheck the list - make sure I haven't missed anything, add things as they come up, and as someone mentioned.. cross off those DONE things. Feels awesome! Good luck!

Not so much scatter brained as overwhelmed and I'm 11 months out. It's just a lot to weed through venues, menus, photographers, each with their own pricing. I've taken to making handwritten charts because a) when I put things on the computer, I inevitably forget about them and b) it helps me to feel more involved. I don't know, I guess I'm just weird like that. :bbmrgreen:

Heh.. I don't need the wedding to be scatter brained. XD
