Bridal Insomnia

For two weeks, my sleep has been uneasy. So uneasy, in fact, that I have become constantly tired. I will fall asleep, wake up around three or four, and then be awake until the alarm clock goes off, at which point I have to immediately begin my morning commute to work. Lately I've been skipping my early morning workouts because of this insomnia, and that makes me even more tired (workouts really give me energy for the day) And Can you take a guess at what the first thing I think about when my eyes open up so prematurely every morning? Oh, you'd better believe it is always wedding related. Last night it was invitations. Three nights before that, those darn favor boxes (no longer a worry), last week, centerpieces, two weeks ago, whether or not people will have fun at the wedding. I have been feeling lately that we have no time for anything, and there is so much more to accomplish. Three months, ONLY THREE MONTHS! I'm starting to freak out, and that nonsense needs to stop because a tired bride makes for a very crabby, unhappy, terrible noeybride to be around. I'm thinking: okay, we need invitations NOW. We need flowergirl dress NOW. We need to pick out centerpieces NOW. We need to meet with the priest NOW. There is so much to do, in fact, that I made a list of it all to calm myself down (I really enjoy checklists for some reason) . After I made the list, and I looked at how extensive it was, I went straight back into freak out mode. Russell and I both work all week, then on weekends we are usually visiting families or friends or what not, when is a person supposed to have time to do all of this stuff? I don't get home until 6:15 everyday, at which point I only have enough strength in me to eat a little dinner and pass out on the couch. I need another Miss Weddingbliss, stat!...or else I'll end up looking like this come our wedding day:

Corpse Bride....not the look I'm really going for. If anyone has any stress-relief tips, let me know...any advice is appreciated. I need sleep!!!!! : )
