It's okay

This post will differ a little from the ones I have been doing lately.
Today was a hectic day for sure, Saturdays usually are. Today though, I had a very long to do list and I really, really like to try and get everything done even if I run myself ragged doing it. I had to move the stockpile of chicken and cat food up to the barn so we can start putting it in 55 gallon drums (Before that I had to air up the tire on the trailer that goes behind the lawn tractor). I had to take Amy to work, run my friend to her storage unit in Sunset about 40 minutes away, go to Home Depot and get a metal sprinkler head, hit the ATM at the bank to pull out some money, cut some Comfrey leaves and pull out my cheap slow cooker and double check the recipe for making a comfrey salve, Then get it started so it could infuse for several hours. Pick up Amy from work, Hit Harbor Freight store really quick to pick up some things for my husband. Take the food storage down and get it labeled with expiration dates, go up and bring water to the chickens, quick check of the garden, eat dinner, mow the lawn, then come in and finish making the comfrey salve. Oh then of course sit down at the computer and write this long paragraph. I didn't mow the side yard, nor did I shell the sweet peas to collect the seeds, I didn't work on my other seeds either. I just simply ran out of time.
  Do you ever feel guilty if your to do list isn't done by the end of the day? Do you kind of feel like if you don't get it done today it will be that much harder to keep up and finish it within the next few days? I have really just had to get to the point where I tell myself that it's okay. I've done all that I can possibly do for today and the seeds will keep, really they will. They will be there tomorrow or Monday and I can pick up where I left off then.
   I think sometimes as women and mothers we tend to push ourselves just a little too much but in this sense there isn't really any big prize for achieving everything on your list in a 12 hour period (except that you got it done of course). There simply isn't any fanfare at the end of that finish line and it is in fact, invisible.

It's okay, so you didn't get it all done. It's okay.
