is almost OVER! Thank goodness as it was purely hectic & insane … perhaps the most insane month of my whole entire motherhood existence of almost 9 years.
As I reflect over the past 6 months, I realize:
- sales are DOWN 18% (waah) compared to 2008 BUT they are UP 150% compared to 2007 (gotta find that silver lining!)
- I have done more for my kids in the past month than my business
- I still haven’t found the balance I’ve been looking for in managing this business & family life
- Competition has increased about 200% since I began doing this
As I reflect over this emptied out purse that has been carried w/me this past month, I see:
- a packet of otter pops
- 2 energizer rechargeable (dead) batteries
- about a dozen sunflower seeds
- popcorn pieces
- a yellow skittle
- a nail file
- a blue bicstic
- nasty unwrapped green trident (YUCK!)
- a Picadilly gift card
- packing slip
- a hefty cheerleading uniform bill
- large paperclip
- Emma barrette
- wrappers of ALL kinds
- lipliner
- mac lipstick
- receipts, receipts, receipts
- an invitation
- a wadded up diaper
- sequins
- sashes from dance recital
- 3 dirty socks
- airhead
- 2 checkbooks
- 3 pens
- a purse calendar
- blackberry
- 1/2 roll of quarters still in tact
- coupons
- dollartree ad
- Coldplay ticket stub (AWESOME CONCERT!!)
Okay.. that’s enough! Can you tell I have been running around like a chicken w/my head cut off? Baseball & Softball are officially over but there are still other activities…
Long story short…
BEAR WITH ME!!!!!!!!!! I’M BEYOND WAY BEHIND!!!
Hope everyone else is enjoying the peace & relaxation of summer! As I deal with this heat wave we’ve had
our kids are now enjoying a nice little addition to our backyard
Did I mention, I LOVE THIS THING!? The kids are having such a blast in it & it’s been such easy maintenance! All the kids in this pic look like giants but it really is the perfect size for my kiddies :)
Happy Summer!!
