Proof positive...

that I am certifiable.
30 minutes ago I received an e-mail from my daughter-in-law (whom I adore) reminding me that they will arrive for thanksgiving in 18 days.
I'm like OMG 18 days. My other two sons and one's fiancee will be here too. I have been using my two spare rooms for catch alls and they are a mess. I mean the beds and floors are piled high.
So what happens? My eye starts bulging, my nose starts running and I can feel the beast saying "oh no, no, you aren't getting off that easy. Just try to accomplish anything with me around".
Ok, no surprise, stress does that to all of us.
But I started talking to "him" and I don't mean God. Like I could convince "him" to be nice and go away for just a little while.
It's bad enough that I talk to myself (and occasionally answer, I admit) but to talk to a headache??

If talking to ourselves (Beast) is an indication of basketcaseitus then they may as well send the white coated twinkee squad for the lot of us.
I talk to the bastard constantly!
edited to add: Good luck on getting the rooms ready for Thanksgiving company. When you get done there please come to my house. My shop is a mess and could use some attention.

You'll do just fine. 18 days is enough time to clean alot of rooms. 
It is funny how I/we (maybe just me) talk to the Beast like it's really alive. Kick its' ass Kimmee.

No one EVER try to convince me that what hell lurks inside this head of mine is NOT real and (in it's own way) NOT alive.
No it's not an actual gremlin, but it damn might as well be the way it likes to claw and chew and try to birth it's way out of my eye socket and nostril.
I think I just admitted i talk to it too...didn't I?

Oh yeah. I talk to my bitch/beast. I tell her that I'm stronger, tougher, and smarter than she is. I tell her SHE WILL NOT BEAT ME. SHE WILL NOT WIN. Then, I tell her to just back the F*** off. And, she does, until the next round. Then we do it again. But, I AM winning.

If talking to the beast makes you crazy, then I've got frequent flier miles coming for flying over the cuckoo's nest.
I wouldn't worry about it.

Kimmeesue,
don't worry. I used to talk to the beast on some occasions, too. Usually the conversation went: "You're not coming today, you hear me...!" Usually the devil didn't listen, though...
But take it easy, okay? You have lots of time before Thanksgiving. Relax and take your time. You'll be fine.
Best wishes,
Sanna

To make things worse, my husband came home with a migraine, an irregular occurance. I managed to shove the beast back in his cage and am almost finished with one room.
Thanks for all the encouragement.

If yelling "Get the F*CK out of my head!" isn't talking to the beast, I dunno what is! We all do it. You are quite certifiable kimmee and in the best of company - your ch family
You'll be fine with the rooms and even if it isn't perfect, I'm sure your family loves you so much they're never even going to notice.

testimony of all here, is to do what Gator said:

and then good advise, don't sweat the small stuff:
