I've realized something in the last year or two. I'm kind of a flake. Maybe that's not the right word I think I just expect so much out of myself and never get things I really want or need to get done. Instead of just concentrating on one thing at a time, I'm thinking of the million things I want to do/need to do/or THINK I need to do. Because of this, it took me almost two years to finish some portraits for a friend. It has been almost six months since my last giveaway, and I haven't even finished the painting for that. (it's almost done, Erin. I know, I keep saying that)
I don't like that I don't always keep my promises. I honestly intend to when I say "I'll finish it this week!" And then I let everything else get in the way. Cleaning, running errands, taking care of Mae, cooking, etc etc. I need to learn to just let my apartment be messy and unorganized and sit down and paint.
Does anyone else have this problem? Do you struggle to balance everything? Do you give yourself way too many tasks to accomplish and just end up feeling so overwhelmed?
Any pointers? Cause really...I don't want to be a flake.

Melissa, so i posted on my blog a few weeks ago about carrying a 500 lb. elephant. Hate that!!! I know what you're going through chicky and yip, it sucks! It's weird how we desire to do all these things, and really deep down want to do them and love it, and it brings us joy... and yet somehow, we never get around to doing them. I haven't figured out a cure for this one either, except to keep trying and hope those people who love you will understand that you are really trying to just be better. You'll get it, and when you do.... will you check in on me.... I'm just starting this game!
Ditto to both of you!! Life is hard to balance. I can't give advice due to the fact that I am having the same struggles. But I know there are times I need to let things go and sit and play with Livi and then there are times when I should clean or read... If I find a cure I'll let you know
:) I do try to live by one day at a time...
