i’m not the girl who gets it all done.

i’m not the girl who gets it all done.
today i wanted to share with you our pretty beach vacation photos, but i could only muster up the energy for one edited photo.
because i’m not the girl who gets it all done.
projects lay unfinished in my studio & dirty dishes sit abandoned in my kitchen sink.
emails go unanswered & phone calls are never made.
day planner pages fill up too quickly & we go another night without a decent meal.
farm orders are finally finished in the wee hours of the morning & another good night of sleep is missed.
minutes turn into hours & hours turn into days & i’m left wondering where it all went.
although it sometimes may appear as though my life is perfectly organized with a crossed off, color-coded to-do list, i’m not the girl who gets it all done.
so right now, today, here in this space, i am telling you this just in case there’s even the slightest slice of hope or hint that i’m that girl. 
because i’m not.
maybe we’re in the same boat or maybe we’re not (do tell me your secrets), but i’m tired.
so, i’m signing off until monday. 
because i’m not the girl who gets it all done. i’m not even close.
i hope you’ll forgive me & come back on monday. those beach photos sure are pretty.
love,
natalie
