Balance. Or Not.

break

I started landscaping again recently, in addition to running the shop, and I thought I would be able to handle it all effortlessly because hashtag girl-power and a pinch of bullheadedness but... that's not going quite as well as I planned. I am hardly posting on the blog, I still can't seem to get my next Etsy collection up (that I am so excited about and it's been 80% shot and half listed for weeks now...) and dinner is either really late or take-out. 
I know there will be more balance soon. I'll be caught up from the spring rush for landscaping and I won't always have two weekend events back to back for the shop (the worst timing, of course...ha) but right now I am so tired that I've cried over stupid things like 13 times in one week. Pretty sure I started crying when a branch got in the way when I was cleaning up a garden. Yelling at inanimate things in anger is always a good gage of exhaustion... 

All that to say, I'm tired and cranky (I faked real good for that picture above...) and I've been a crappy blogger but I'm still getting dressed! And I'll be back in fighting form soon; I'll even get that Etsy collection up! I have to remember to have fun and not take what I do so seriously. 
There are weeds to pull and there is vintage to pick. I just need to chill out and stop yelling at branches...

  4. Take care of yourself! Your mental and physical health is the most important thing. The blog can wait. We'll still be here whenever you get around to posting:)

  5. I know how hard it can be when there are too many things on your plate. I was working full time and renovating a rental property just last year and it burned me out on even trying to blog. Take care of yourself and make sure you get those cries out because sometimes they really help.

  6. You can do it! Also, I'd love it if you would link to your Etsy collection whenever you mention it on the blog. I can never remember how to find it. Thanks!
