Stress

The National Hockey League Booster Club Convention takes place four weeks from today.  Or rather I should say, the pre-convention activities take place four weeks from today.

Four weeks.  Eeeek.  Has it really come up on us so quickly?

During the past two years, we went from being very calm about the whole thing to having bouts of bipolar episodes over the past month or so.

We all want this to go well.  We want everyone to enjoy themselves.  We want to have a favorable view of our community and of the work everyone has put into this.  We want it to be over.

No, I'm just kidding.  Sort of. 

There are days when we all look at this and think, we can do this.  Then there are other days when we look at the list of things that still need to get done and we think, Good God, why on earth did we agree to this?

Today, I'm falling the middle.  This morning, I was freaking, now ... well, I'm still freaking, but not as badly as this morning.  I'm just so worried about getting all my paperwork done in time for convention and making sure that everyone will have their packets available on the day that they arrive.

I have the added stress of knowing I'm supposed to be training for my half marathon in November and I'm not doing very well with my training.  On top of that, I wanted to open my own store and that's not going well either.  Then I've been baby sitting which has taken a lot of time out of my day and I'm trying to take care of Andre's company at the same time.  We are down to one vehicle now because we had to give Michelle's car to Brittany.  Michelle is close to getting a job for the summer which means I will now have to work around her schedule, which will mean doing my appointments will take even more juggling skills.

There's just so much that is going on in my head all the time.  Sometimes I feel like it's going to explode.  I'm just over thinking everything right now.  It's going to be okay.

Patience and flexibility.

Isn't that what I tell my convention committee?  Perhaps I should start practicing what I preach.

Easier said than done... just don't tell my committee I said that.  =)
