Here Come the Brides!

I am now mother to TWO engaged daughters! Our youngest became engaged a few days ago, thankfully she is fully aware that planning her wedding before her sister's has even happened would cause stress that needn't be. She and her intended have decided to hold off date picking, at least for awhile.
I am grateful, although we have hit kind of a lull with the wedding that's in the works, I don't know how I could keep two going....
I think I may need a second job....

Temporary ADD

I think I may have ADD, but only temporarily. It seems like my mind is constantly on 'simmer' concerning the wedding, random wedding plans run through my head at all times, day or night. Still not sleeping long enough, or feels like it's not long enough. If I wake up, whatever the time, it is not too long before wedding thoughts bubble to the surface. Mostly, they are excited thoughts, but not always. The not always ones are the ones that keep me up. I wonder if my yard is going to be nice enough, or ready on time, can I afford it.....things like that seem to be the most current.
Another interesting thing is this is really the first wedding I've planned, and I am learning a lot. My wedding was so much of a whirlwind, and my mother-in-law did a lot of the gathering of stuff, never had to make any decisions with time to second guess myself. I don't know if that's the way I'd advise going, but changing direction three, four times is exhausting!
That's all for now....

Birch trees

J asked me long ago if B and I wanted to get some birch tree seedlings, as T could only order in groups of 10, and only needed five. Of course I said yes....the trees came yesterday, and J told me that they HAVE to be planted in the next two days or they would die......
Why isn't cloning on a temporary basis possible? I need two of me to get all of this accomplished! I promise to return the clone when I no longer need the extra help!
We may have birch tree funerals to attend later....

No dress, but more progress

So, we didn't pick up the dress, the alteration person had a family emergency and was out of town. Since J had changed phones and phone number, the wedding shop couldn't get hold of her, so she and K made the trek to Mom's before finding out there would be no dress today.
However, all was not lost. J is gaining footing on what she wants/doesn't want for her wedding, and we scoured thrift stores for old bottles and mason jars. We had pretty good success at the four we visited, but more need to be searched.  Now that I know what she wants, it will be a little easier for me to 'get stuff'.  We went back to K's house and opened a bottle of port. I had never had port, and J said she had never had one she liked. The port we had tasted a lot like raisin juice, it was different, not something I'd go out of my way to drink, but if it was offered, I would be polite and take some. Getting to spend time with my daughters and make progress on the wedding is all good.
The landscape guy is coming next Tuesday, and that is also dress pick up day, J will be hanging around to meet with the landscape designer. This will be interesting.
As to the anxiety attacks, they have dissipated, which is good, but I am aware they are lurking in the shadows, ready to strike.
