February 5, 2009

I am thankful for:
1. New clothes for everyone.
2. More subbing opportunities

Goals:

1. Weekly shopping
2. SRMS brochure

I HATE sales. That is all there is too it. I would rather do just about anything but sales but it looks like I am going to be stuck doing sales becuase of the stupid economy is preventing Isabelle's school's from keeping three primary classrooms. I was really hoping to work there next year. Oh well. I will keep plodding along with the DEC sales and make the stupid phone calls that I HATE HATE HATE!!!!!!!

February 3, 2009

I am thankful for:
1. The wonderful staff at SRMS
2. Tim took the time to get Isabelle yesterday when I wasn't feeling well.

Goals
1. Work on websites
2. Catch up on my zones

I was sick yesterday. I seem to have caught whatever it was the Isabelle had on Thursday and Friday. At least I didn't throw up. I felt like it all day though. Tim was great and took Isabelle to school and picked her up. Getting into a moving vehicle wasn't a good idea. I feel mostly better today although dinner seems to be making me a bit queasy. Too much fat in it. We went to Arby's since Tim is working late this week.

Other wise it was a quiet day today. No sales or anything. Bummer. I did send out my demos. Unfortuately I sent the one really late. I didn't realize that three weeks had gone by. Most of that time was spent trying to fix Dr. Wan's problem. I explained to this new doctor that we were doing an update and that I wanted to send him the latest version. I sent him the demo link. It is a big office so I hope that he likes it.

February 1,2009

I am thankful for:
1. Isabelle is feeling better.
2. Lots of time to stitch today

Didn't set goals yesterday.

Goals
1. Send out demos.
2. Make calls

Today was cleaning day. Didn't really feel like it but I did my home blessing hour. I didn't do my zone work today. Tomorrow. Then it was time to watch the Super Bowl. It was a fantastic game. I didn't really care who won, I just wanted it to be a good game and it was. Plus I got in about 4-5 hours of stitching. I think I will be really close to finishing Isabelle's Garden. I might just keep working on her until I have her done. Then I can move on to another project next month. She is so pretty.

Yesterday I forgot to post. We went cross country skiing for 5 hours yesterday at Harriman State Park. Isabelle was wonderful. She is such a trooper! She skiied 5 miles! She is a bit sore today. Then we watched the Pianist. It was ok.

January 30, 2009

I am thankful for:
1. Being able to shop for extras.
2. Tim as a good steady job.

I met my goals yesterday.

Goals:
1. Cross Country Skiing
2. Stitching

Isabelle stayed home again today although she was probably feeling well enought to go to school. She was definitely feeling better than yesterday but her tummy was still a bit upset. But she came with us to do our shopping. We did our usual shopping and then went to get new gloves for Tim and Isabelle and then the bookstore. I got some new books. Mostly books to help with business. I bought a Perl for Dummies book, a new marketing book and a fun fantasy book.

Other than that I stitched and had Isabelle read and practice her violin. Q very quiet day.

January 29, 2009

I am thankful for:
1. Isabelle not being too sick.
2. That it is Friday

I didn't reach my goals today because Isabelle was sick. Not much gets done when she is sick.

Goals:
1. Shopping

Isabelle was home sick today. She was feeling nauseous all day. Finally threw up after dinner. Hopefully that will get rid of what ever is in her belly giving her grief. So she stayed home today. Kind of a bummer, one because my little girl wasn't feeling well, and 2 because Jamie Kagel from Channel 8 News was going to be giving a presentation at school today that I would have liked to see. Oh well, there was no point in taking her to school, she would have just been sent home.

So when she is home not too much gets done. I did work on Pat's website and I think the first one is done. I sent her a message to take a look at it and tell me any changes that she would want. Now I need to work on her horses for sale one.

Then I did a bit of shopping and used some of the gift certificates I got for my birthday. I was all excited that I would use the GC to buy the missing supplies I need for my mandala and wouldn't you know, every single item that I needed wasn't there. I sent an email asking if they do special orders. If they do, then I will order from them. Otherwise I will have to track down another place to get it. I won't be starting for at least a month so I have some time. I did use some of the GC to buy some fabric and LK Stamp for January. I still have 10 left. I think I will get some more of the Stamps.

Well, I am off to bed. I hope Isabelle is feeling better tomorrow so that she can go to school. She is sleeping on our floor tonight like she usually does when she isn't feeling well.

Happy Birthday to me!

I am thankful for:
1. Being one year older and healthier than I have been in a long time.
2. Slightly warmer temperatures.

I met my goals for today.

Yes, today I am 38 years old and 23 pounds lighter than the year before. I had a really nice day. I proceeded to do nothing work related at all. I updated my multiply stitching blog, openned my presents from my birthday exchange group and then stitched the rest of the day. I am making really good progress on my fractal. I will work on it for two more days before I move on to the next one in my rotation.

WE went out last night for my official birthday dinner but since I didn't go to the meeting I thought I had tonight we went out to dinner again. I refuse to cook on my birthday! We just went to Perkins after Isabelle's gym.

Boy is Isabelle doing a good job in her gym class. They are learning their routines for the show off day in May. Isabelle is actually remembering it too! There are some skills that the kids can't do yet but most should be able to by May.

I took a new work out class yesterday and boy am I paying for it today. My legs are so sore! I hope to feel better tomorrow so that I can work out again.

Tomorrow I am volunteering in Isabelle's class and Jamie Keigle from our local news station is coming to give a presentation tomorrow morning as well, so I will go and see that.

January 27, 2009

I am thankful for:
1. Birthday dinners
2. Workout classes with friends.

Goals:
1. Stitch
2. Stitch
3. Stitch, its my birthday :)

Well, tomorrow I will be one year older and I have a feeling very sore from a new class I took today at the gym. I had been watching the Powercut class at the gym for a while and finally decided to brave it. It helps that I know two people there, Tina Sharpe and Staci Mitchell. I think I am going to hurt tomorrow! It wasn't too much harder than my ball blast class.

Yesterday I taught my science class again after about a month off. I didn't really feel like going but once I got started I just felt invigorated when I was done. I really like teaching and I hope to go back to it soon.

I think my customer's problems with the eye chart have finally been fixed. Either that or she wasn't in today either and didn't get a chance to try my fix. I sure hope it just worked.

Tomorrow is my birthday and I don't plan on doing anything at all. I am going to go to the bakery and get an apple fritter and then I plan on stitching all day if I can. Then I will go watch Isabelle's gym and then go to a marketing meeting for school.
