CONFESSION:
As much as I would like to pretend to be Wonder Woman, sadly I am not. I may have a day where I can roll up my sleeves and pull out a girls dream wedding dress, but there are day's where people cross my path and leave me with a spinning head. Today was one of those day's. Here's a low down.
In a way it was a good thing. It tested my level of stress and how far I could go without completely losing myself. BR AVA! I remained professional and suffered the headache as an aftermath.
My wedding gown appointments today were almost back to back, and so easy. Easy in comparison to the first appointment. One was going vintage the other comfort elegance.
I didn't have to deal with the other momzillia but it was ( in my opinion) not so great to complain about a small alterations problem, a problem that can be easily fixed in front of a bride-to-be. It's stressful enough as it is to be tyring to figure out your style of wedding gowns and pick one that not only set's the tone for the wedding but also looks fantastic on you as well. And using the big mirror while a bride is standing and waiting to show her mom a dress. I am sorry but my bride come first! She was there before the other woman was there, and therefore had first dibs on the mirror. That is simply my opinion on this matter. The problem is going to be fixed and the bride thankfully, was fantastic and I will be seeing her next Saturday, and hopefully she will be getting the dress of her dreams!
After all the drama I experienced today, some stressful moments. I look back and I ask myself the question,; Do I still love my job?? The answer is Yes. I love my job. I love making a girls dream come true and being able to see her just glow in the dress that is meant for her. My brides are fantastic! I love them! At the end of the day, i still feel passionate about my job. It can be stressful and full of drama, but in the end result is worth the time and energy I put into each appointment.
I have had moments that do make me stressful but it's one of those things that I realize that it's because i am carrying the load all by myself.....again! I know that I have Someone willing to help me by taking my extra baggage and pull me out of the muck. I try to convince myself that I am okay with the load, but it's a lie I tell myself. Do you tell yourself the same thing? It's so easy to tell ourselves that we can handle whatever that comes our way, and maybe for alittle while we can. But in the end we find out that we can't. Not really, and most deff, not by ourselves! Think about it for a moment. This doesn't just apply to weddings but also to our entire lives!
I just had to share with you what has been going on. =) I am getting closer to my dream, and that requires refining me, like you refine gold! I'm not perfect, and I'm never going to be in this life! and you know what? That is okay. =) I am fine and I still have alot to learn. I know this, and to the challenge i say, Bring it on!
