A chronological evaluation of the events I participated in today
2:00am - I helped my parents finish the meal for my sister's wedding luncheon
2:45am - I finally went to sleep
8-9:45am - I traveled back and forth from dreamland to reality. Then I finally realized that I was supposed to meet a friend at my church meetinghouse to prepare for my sister's wedding luncheon
12:00pm - After preparing and guarding the room for the luncheon for 2 hours, I decided to go home and eat. I entered my house and my brother told me that I needed to go back and rearrange the tables and chairs
12:20pm - People slowly started seeping in for the luncheon
1:00pm - The bride and groom arrived and I realized I am now the oldest of my parents children carrying the family name. My stress level also took me to the point that I completely walked out and went into another room where I played the piano until the luncheon was practically over.
2:30pm ish - I came back in, sat down with some friends, the bride and groom left for their honeymoon, Alyssa H. told me she was tired, I woke her up her way, she slapped me, I smiled, everyone left, we cleaned up and went home
Then to Now (8:30pm) - I emailed, chatted, played with siblings, watched the Cosby Show, was told to come upstairs for family prayer, came upstairs, nobody was gathering, my mom is on the phone, my dad is wandering taking care of random things, I am here because I'd rather right a post then be asked to clean up
All in all, the day started out filled with stress. I woke Alyssa up and my stress level has dramatically decreased. It's been a good day.
Oh yeah, did I mention that my sister is married?!

I almost forgot that you woke Alyssa up. ;)
ReplyDeleteReally Caitlin! How could you have possibly forgotten that?!?!
ReplyDeleteHaha, it was a very hectic day. It was very convenient that you happened to be there right when Alyssa needed to be woke up, though. I'm glad I was able to witness it. ;)
DeleteConvenient?! Wow, I love your choice of words. I would have said it was awkward... Which it was for a moment. Then it was just plain funny. :D
ReplyDeleteIt was awkward, convenient (hehe), and beyond hilarious. Especially if you were observing. :D
DeleteCarson, my brother, this made me . . . sad. I feel so selfish, having not noticed at all that you were stressed. I guess that I am rather justified in that regard, but I do feel bad about my ignorance. I hope that you have been able to catch up on sleep and everything, and that your life has been less stressful since my wedding. I missed seeing you today, Boy. Call me sometime, anytime. And please be home when Patrick and I come over tomorrow. :)
ReplyDeleteI love you.
