Dear Friends,
Sorry I've been a delinquent blogger this last week.
Just take the picture above, and imagine . . .
she also has a laptop under her arm,
. . .
and a box full of helpless kittens under the other arm,
. . .
and a tiny bottle (to feed said kittens every 2 hours) propped between her teeth,
. . .
and a huge tattoo on her forehead that reads: "I HATE CATS,"
. . .
and a kid hanging on her right leg,
. . .
and a kid hanging on to her left leg,
. . .
and a kid sitting on her shoulders,
. . .
and yet ANOTHER kid warming in her oven,
. . .
and a cell phone perched between her shoulder and her ear,
. . .
and a check book and 4 million bills in her back pocket,
. . .
and a wooden spoon in her front pocket,
. . .
and a nervous breakdown simmering on the back burner.
once you've imagined all that,
you'll BEGIN to get a sense as to where I've been. :)
I love you.
Nat

oh wow. And I thought I was having a busy week. Good luck with that.
Oh my gosh -- I'm feeling a nervous breakdown coming on just reading that, Nat!!! Come to mommy-in-law -- I'll take care of you this weekend. I wish you were staying longer! Pinkberry's on the calendar. On me. A large.
With each line my shoulders tensed a little more
and raised a little closer to my ears.
I hope things slow down for ya soon...
((hugs))

W O W Z E R S !!
thank goodness for the tattoo or you'd be the cat lady + kids + technology. that'd just be too much.
LOVE YOU! THANK YOU!
Oh Natty Gann. All this, and you're even handling the sadness of losing one of those little kitties! You are a rock. I'm so glad you at least took a little break from blogging. Not one of your readers will desert you over the lag--how could they??
I wish I could be there to help. (I'm really good at nervous breakdowns.)
xoxoxo
Wow, sorry you are having a rough week...I hope next week is a dream! Btw, I love that picture!
The minute I read this I thought of the painting: The Burden of the Responsible Man by James Christensen. It is beautiful and funny. I sent you the image in your email. Good luck with everything.
just thinking about all that stresses me out! take it easy girl!:)
I like the part about the baby in your oven. I so would have adopted those little kittens too. There is this part of me that loves kittens more than humans. It's kinda sick but I just love them. Let me know if you need any help

Hi! We do not know each other. I did a google search for help with learning photography and ended up on your site! You are sooo funny and simply amazing! I have NEVER commented on a stranger's blog... but I felt inclined to here. :) I was very touched by your journaling and photography. I don't know exactly what it is I want to say here... but somehow I felt understanding. This is crazy! Sorry! Thank you for posting the photography lessons. It is a great help to me. I am just learning and enjoy it very much! Thanks for posting pieces of yourself for weirdo strangers like me to enjoy and be enriched by! :) LOL! Love it! ~Michelle from Utah
OH DEAR! please disregard my email i sent you tonight- we can TOTALLY reschedule for a time when the kittens have found new homes or for a time when life just settles down in general- and while we are at it- can i bring you dinner or something??
good gravy woman.
how do you do it?? :)
Wow, I hope things get better for you Natalie. Nice photo! Who's the model?
I laughed out loud at the 'I HATE CATS' part. good one.
Hey I love the wooden spoon in the pocket... only a mother of boys could truly understand that lol!
