December 24 (more)
We did lots of work at the church today… all set up pretty much for both ceremony and reception… just need to do food prep, iron table cloths and set tables on Friday.
All ready for Christmas.
Another daughter and her family arrived. The little cousins are so cute together!
Made ambrosia and cran-orange jellied salad. Cleaned my son’s bedroom and got it ready for my daughter and her family. Got last-minute groceries.
Didn’t get the wedding cake…. I think the bakery lady just forgot…. Oh well…. I was really disappointed, also really panicky at first. But what’s done is done. My daughter says we can get a cake from Safeway. She doesn’t seem very upset. Well, it will help the budget a lot! I’m sure I shouldn’t have panicked so much. But I guess I’m tired – and I just wanted the wedding to be as perfect as possible. I did pray and ask You to work it out – and then went ahead and panicked anyway… (sorry… well, more now than at first…)
___ says I could still make a cake myself. I guess maybe I could… maybe angel food cake mix, butter icing with little flowers or whatever. I’m just so tired right now I can’t imagine how to fit that in with Christmas eve tonight, and Christmas day tomorrow, and Boxing day the following day, and then the wedding… and so many family and friends coming, and a house full of company…
Well, what’s done is done. That’s all.
Dear Lord – Do You think I could maybe just sleep well tonight? Please? I am really having a rough time the past few days. Maybe just too tired. And stressed – though I really don’t think so. … My brain is fried too…
