Recap

Ok, things got crazy there for a little bit.
A recap of things since St. Paddy's Day:

Last Monday morning I got up and took Sky to daycare, only the daycare was inexplicably closed.  I was unable to get ahold of my provider for the entire day.  I ended up taking her to my aunt Jen's and was late for work.  I got a call from my daycare gal's husband Monday night trying to explain what had happened (some drunken family altercation) though we had already decided that we weren't going to keep taking Sky to their daycare.  Jen had offered her services as our part-time provider just the week before and so things fell into place perfectly with her taking over right away.  It was still an abrupt and unannounced change, kind of a rough week.  Friday, after leaving the old daycare (from picking up Sky's belongings) my car broke down.  I was on my way to work, so I was late for work again.  It ended up being a quick and easy fix though more money than I wanted to spend on my car.

On a better note, I had my first solo Norwex party last Saturday.  I spent the bulk of last week finishing up my folders and presentation.  It was a small turnout but definitely successful.  I hope I can get a few bookings coming up here after Easter.  I really think I'm going to enjoy being a consultant.

So now, I've got a bazillion things to do all the time and I realize I probably won't be blogging as frequently as I'd like.  After all, I did start this post last night and am just now (during Sky's nap) getting around to finishing up.  We've got errands to run this afternoon so I'm off to tcob.

Takin Care of Business...

Wow, It's been one hell of a week.  I had my Norwex Launch party yesterday morning and most of the week was spent in preparation.  Though now, with the rest of my weekend off, I'm gathering materials and putting together better folders for my hostesses and guests.  I feel like I was kind of under-prepared for the party and I won't make that mistake again.  Stephanie definitely helped guide me through the party and I got several sales.  I left the party without a booking but my awesome aunt Jen and her friend Kara would like to host a party together.  I'm so excited to feel like I'm moving forward.  I really hope that I can book 1 to 2 parties at Terri's party next weekend.  It's nice that the products totally sell themselves AND the hostess incentive program is awesome.  I was actually surprised that no one at Jessica's party booked, but there were only 4 people there who hadn't already had a party or weren't having a future party.  I've got to work on my hostess coaching for sure.  I know I'm on track to be a bit of a slow starter in terms of sales in the company but I'm not going to let that bring me down.  After all, I work a full-time exhausting retail job and am a single mom; I'm not superman.

Just now, I'm waiting for my Skybug to wake up so we can run a couple errands.  We get to hang out the rest of the day and I'm loving it.  I'd like to sit around and keep blogging, but I've still got a lot of work to do

Back Online...

Finally!!  We just got internet installed at my new place.  I've been moved in since the 1st.  I got online a few times at Taco Johns to get my Norwex stuff set up (my launch party is Saturday!!!) but I have mostly gone without internet for about a week and a half now.  No facebook or pinterest or blogger.  No netflix either.  Well no more.  Unfortunately my babers is sick again, this time with something like croup.  I'm tired of her getting sick at daycare.  It's getting kinda old.  She's snoozing on the couch right now but I've gotta feed her lunch and get her over there in about a half hour.  Speaking of Sky...she just woke up.  I'll be back later of course...
