When I have to put on a big party and just feel like being alone, I usually get really grumpy beforehand. I say I don't feel like being fake and putting on a big fake smile. Dh says, "So don't." That's very freeing, giving yourself the permission to admit to some need to be more quiet. Can you "hide out" in the kitchen while your dh socializes and keeps the masses busy? I think Christina gave a great idea, to give youself an "out" every little while.

In the meantime, perhaps a nice of peace and quiet would help you for tomorrow. Can anybody help you get ready for tomorrow?
