Tuesday...Shaky at Best. I'd give it a C...minus.
Started ok. I had a networking meeting which I almost skipped but then got irritated at home and decided to go so I could decompress without blowing it. I was saying goodbye anyway and that I would not be back as much so I did do that. That ends the weekly networking meetings.
I will return to them as needed. My sales team will attend as they can which frees me up a bit too but keeps the mag out there.
Then a meeting back here at 9:30 went near to my 2:00 which in turn, ended around three.
The kids decided not to take school into their own hands, which they well could have, so all they did was read all day. By the time I was done I had already put in a 12 hour day and it was only 3. So I was tired...I knew it was my time to work but I had spent no time with the kids.
So I went to them and watched a movie while dozing in and out: Transformers. YIKES. COOL effects, too many sexual inferences. But they were thrilled that I was watchiing a movie with them so I counted that as my time with them. Jeff wanted me to deliver some issues with him a little bit away and I would be back by 7 for church. So off I went.
Back by 7..could barely move...skipped church and FELL into bed exhausted.
Woke at 2, thought OK, work time. Got up, made coffee.
Baby woke up. So I dealt with her.....back to bed, came downstairs, baby screaming.
Back up, dealt with her, laid in my bed with her, put her back to bed...back to work, baby hysterical. Back up dealt with her, gave up. Went back to bed, fell asleep. Woke up at 6.
Got up....WORK says I.
NO says God. Or the natural- or the enemy. I know not which.
Get up and JUST sit down and...baby's up and is now currently on the edge because we MISTAKENLY let her crack eggs once and now she wants to crack 30 eggs in everything she cooks in the kitchen with Jeff and I.
She is learning scrambled eggs and pancakes right now which both call for eggs so she gets a little nerved up wondering if we are going to let her crack them.
SO, here I am blogging with LUKEWARM coffee (tsk tsk) from 2 am and no interest in work. I am going to go do Bible Study and prepare for W.I.N. (women in business support network)
This is the first day (it's only an every other week thing) and something I am looking forward to. It is one of the few things I look forward to now.
I hope God will show up. I know the people are coming! Will you pray for that?
So that means another day...no work.
But I got a little more sleep, am doing a good thing for others today and well, I guess we'll just keep on trusting.
The second sickness is also running through our home. Everyone but Rachel and Lauren got the stomach bug but then ironically, Lauren got the fever, cough, achey thing and now Rachel has it too.
Wanna come over? Nothing but fun over at the Clunn house these days.
Sickness, financial ruin, behind 17 eight balls in regards to work but, here you will still find HOPE.
The eternal optimist. That's me.

Life is just whirling by....
Sickness has invaded our home this week as well. My man is down & is going to the Dr today at 1:30...(Can't miss more that 3 days w/o a Dr's note.)
I'll come out & make coffee for ya', if you need me. Need to start to pot to warming about 11:30am. Hope you'll be there early.
Don't be discouraged. It's a process to change and to consistently do anything! You are working your way into a new way of doing things. You will have good days and bad. We all do.
I hope WIN goes well. And I hope the girls feel better!
First, I hope all feel better soon because sickness just makes everything else seem so much more exhausting. Second, the description of Kate and the eggs made me want to cry, in a good way, because it's just so sweet and cute that she wants to help. Maggie is there and I love it although, yes, it can be annoying when you don't want 24 eggs all over the kitchen floor. I'll pray for the meeting. I love that you are the eternal optimist. You are very inspiring ;) Seriously! I'm so glad I know you.
