Sheeesh....I can't be everywhere at the same time

So I really don't know how to work and to support my fiancee the same time. This week is pretty stressful. My dress wasn't the one I really ordered but we don't have the time to send it back so I had to bring it to alteration. Since the ball is thursday I had to take half the day off but still make sure that I get the 35 hours together. So I had the idea to work longer than I actually wanted on thursday, skip the hairdresser, change at the office and go straight to the castle from there. Than I get the news that Q will be re-enlisting on thursday and he likes me to be there, but I don't have to. It wouldn't be a big of a deal if I can't make it and he knows that I support him nontheless. He may have said that it is not a big of a deal but of course he wants me to be there but he also understands if I can't make it. Of course I want to be there hell, I want to support him. So I, again, re-arranged the schedual and talked to my project manager pretty sure he would chop my head off because I am asking for so much. So I worked long hours today, am working very long hours tomorrow and on Friday. I don't even know when or how we make it back from the ball, all I know is that I have to be back at work at 0800 Friday morning.

Oh yeah and tomorrow is that basketball game of his unit at 2000 and of course he wants me to be there too. I would love to be there and see him playing but I don't know how long a basketball game is and I have to be at work at 0800, means I have to get up between 0400 and 0430. We are not married yet but I already get an idea of what it is like to be an army wife. It seems to be a full time job. I know what I get myself into, don't get me wrong but I have a job. My counselor said I have to set priorities but the Army (I figured) will probably be priority No.1 and I have no idea of how to explain that to him. My project manager is cool with everything. I am doing a great job but I don't know for how long it can be like that. All the exception I am asking for. I fullfill my contract with working 35 + hours a week. I don't even want to think about the two weeks after we got married. I probably have to take them off because of all the paperwork that has to be done. The move and everything... I love supporting him I really really do. I love doing all this I just wished this week would be over...

Hon, I'm sure your fiance will understand. You have a career, it's important to you and he'll have to be there for you like you are there for him. Good luck with everything, I hope you have fun at the ball and that you won't be too tired on Friday! You need a vacation :)
