Dang...the truck is here and my to-do list is as long as the truck.....we, of course, ordered a small truck ...and of course the one they assigned to is a 16 footer.Dang.....we could hold the wedding reception in the truck!
We're taking patio furniture from my parents to my daughter plus all the wedding decorations and of course a cooler full of kolaches and a cooler full of kielbasa. If we ever got lost or fell into a ditch we could eat well for a month in style!
Fortunately we don't have to leave in the next minute....more like in the day or two....but we are heading off to Ohio and our daughter will be married one week from today. Hard to believe.
I have not hit the squishy mom phase...or the teary-eyed stage or really anything but the supreme organizer stage. Everyone is looking at me.....everyone is waiting for marching orders...my future mother-in-law seems anxious...but then again she doesn't really know how many events I've handled in the last few years...everything from a party for 750 people to welcome in a book to an auction with 120 items. I'm fairly confident I can handle a wedding party of 65.
Well...I'm pretty confident....as long as I don't get too emotional. But like some kind of drill sargeant...someone has to remember where the lanterns go....someone has to remember where the floral spray is to touch up the live ferns....and someone has to remember where the ampersand is packed. ( I just learned that the & sign is called an ampersand and is a BIG hit at wedding where you place initials or photos and then an ampersand between them. Thank heavens my husband is handy because I searched Google for hours trying to find one that was just the right size and there was none available.....lordy the things parents go through for there kids....lol
So now I have to pack everyday jewelry, make a to do list for the boys....(they're staying home till the last minute) and clean the my happy-fish-who-lives-in-my-computer room....okay plus a dozen other things.
I am looking forward to this happy event arriving and being over. LOL>>
