Repeat After Me: I Am A Machine

4.5 months til the wedding. And I'm runnin' out of gas. I need a power chant. Who's with me? I find that saying said chant whilst listening to something hardcore like W.A.S.P. is what is going to get me through the last haul. The homestretch. The third trimester. The no-abortion zone.* It's a scary, hectic, insane time filled with having to juggle real life shit and wedding shit.  So somewhere between work, writing, and home life, I have to make time for "homemade bouquet crafting." It's almost laughable when you say it out loud, right? *Ridiculous* ...But also important. On some level.

So I came up with a chant to help get me through this crazy time. And I think it may help you out too. So feel free to Rebel, Rebel yell it with me loud and proud. I promise it will make you feel at least a tad better...And sometimes a tad's all it takes.**

I Am A Machine

I have a fuckload on my plate right now.
And my To-Do List is a mile long.
But it will get done.
Because I am a Machine.
If I have to work from sun up til sun down,
through the night even,
I will. 
Because I give a shit. 
And, Because I am a Machine.
Work.
Career. 
School.
Partner.
Pets.
Finances.
Home. 
Family. 
Friends. 
Wedding.
I have many obligations. And many goals.
And half the time I feel like my head is going to explode.
But in the end, I am thankful to be busy.
And I know in my my heart, to the very core, that I am more than capable.
I will balance it all.
I will succeed.
Because why, bitches?

BECAUSE I AM A FUCKING MACHINE.

[INSERT LION ROAR]
Did you say it out loud? 

Do you feel a little more badass?



*Abortion joke on a wedding blog: Too much? Even for me?
**"A Tad's All It Takes" = Awesome movie title.
