a blink

a blink and then it is gone. that is exactly how my life feels at the moment. monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday, sunday, gone...

we are hitting our stride being the busiest season of our year with track meets, dance performances, swim team fast approaching, and end of the year school events. my days fly by in a blink and then they are gone.

a track meet this week, brought a beautiful afternoon in the sunshine, no wind and a PERFECT 70 degree day. kennedy had a personal best in her open 400 at 65 seconds. as we walked out to the van to grab some water, she started asking just how fast i thought she could go this year. with eagerness and hope, 'do you really think i could get down to the low 60s?' with increased confidence and one more year of growth under her belt, we are seeing a young lady blossom into a confident competitor. and a blessing this year to be injury free.

with minutes to spare we raced from one event to the next. madison's last elementary vocal concert. we were entertained as we enjoyed songs from all different countries and even one about becoming a teenager. can i believe they are really that old? the answer being, no!

swimming, biking, and running every day, preparing for our triathlon debute June 26th. milo tends to ride about 1/2 mile in front of me and with some miscommunication and a few sharp turns, one turned left and the other turned right one night, but luckily we ended back where we started.

surgery is on the horizon for mr. milo. a little too much heavy weight lifting has caused an inguinal hernia. after brushing off the dust of my nursing back ground, confirmed with some internet searching, the final diagnosis came the following day when dr. janda, walked in the room and said, 'so you think you have a hernia? lets take a look?' with a shock and awe, he responded, 'whoa! there fella, that is most definitely a hernia.' i made sure that was all he was referring to, given the thing is the size of an extra large egg! stay tuned. we hope it doesn't interfere with the triathalon in june.

kate gosselin got the boot....thank you!

so it only took me 3 months to sell $100,000 of business. i thought it fun to challenge myself to see if i could then sell $100,000 in ONE month. now that i am starting to hit my stride and figure this whole thing out. so with $48,000 placed, only $52,000 left. i knocked off $10,000 more today and anticipate for sure another $12,000 off by the end of the day Monday. leaving me to drum up, hmmm...$30,000 by the end of next week. well with 11 appointments on the books, it might just happen. stay tuned! i am focused like a laser beam!

working tomorrow, being it is my weekend on. monday and tuesday are filled with selling appointments and some more swimming, biking, and running. wednesday i am off to supervise an all day carpet cleaning venture from top to bottom, plus a much needed haircut and color. thursday brings more selling appointments, a track meet in iowa city, and a welcome back party for the housecleaner. friday a sprint to the finish, $100,000! plus a bit more swimming, biking, and running. saturday...well may be a day to celebrate! cause afterall, in a blink...it is gone!

bye!
