Gotta get through this

I have two events this week which causes me much stress. I lay awake at night running through all the details in my head and I wake up in the middle of the night from nightmares.
I have always been told that if something can go wrong at an event, it will. And I have experienced all types of wrong - the bakery being 2 hours delayed on the cake, the speaker cancelling the night before, etc. I hate the unknown. I'm a planner, thus why I'm an event coordinator. But I hate the unexpected and that is what keeps me up at night.
I just can't wait for this week to be over. Don't get me wrong, I love what I do. ButI'm ready for Saturday at 4p.m. when it is all over with. I will go home, put on sweats, drink a glass of pinot and unwind. It cannot come soon enough!

Your a coordinator? Wow, I give you kudos! I think I would enjoy the planning but not the unexpected and that just comes with the job...I hope it all goes well and the nightmares stop! Is it a wedding your planning?

We are SO much alike! I love to plan and perfect each little detail but the unkown makes me SO nervous. Good luck! I'm sure everything will go according to plan and if it doesn't, I'm sure you will have a back up plan. :)

When I can't sleep at night because I have too much running through my head, I keep a pen and notepad on the bedside table. Anytime something pops into my head, I write it down.

Inevitably, as I lay back down, something else pops up, I write it down, repeat. Eventually, I can lay down without something popping up and go to sleep.

Maybe that would help? :) Best wishes for a smooth event!

Brett Alexandra said...

Aw, hope all goes well with that! I bet that is stressful. I wanted to be an event planner my last year of college then decided it wasn't for me. ONLY because I get stressed out too easily. It sounds like so much fun, though. good luck! I'll say a little prayer for yoooou.

Jessica said...

Praying for you! Just remember that God will take care of those unexpected moments that can't be planned for :-) Try to let go, and let God take care of it, because he always will!

Mocha Dad said...

I used to be an event coordinator. and I HATED the unkown! Like when the linen people were THREE HOURS late and everytime I called I got the DECLINE ....cool! lol. I still don't like the unkown in my everyday life. I don't do good with it. Sorry you're stressed girl! Sending good vibes your way!
