TBD

I just finished folding load 6 of 7 for this week's laundry and am happy to say that after number 7 is put away, my weekend chores are done leaving the remainder of the day TBD. We all survived the first three days of school. Adjustments to the new schedules seemed to flow effortlessly.

On the work front, Milo is moving and changing roles. While nothing has been officially announced more should be evolving in the weeks to come. He is making some significant changes as he is excellent working with and leading others, so I would only anticipated improvements and progress in the weeks and months to come. TBD...

It took me a few days to get back in the groove at work after being gone for 10 days. But last week proved that I am 'back in the saddle' and sales are rolling in. I have a HUGE goal for the month of August running to beat my best month YTD and given that I was gone for the first 8 days of the month, should I be successful in meeting it, who knows what the remaining 4 months of the year will produce. I laughed to myself the other day thinking about my bucket list with one of the things to be a million dollar sales director with Mary Kay. Funny how paths change as I am currently on pace to do a million dollar in sales as a Family Service Counselor, in the funeral home business? I guess sales are sales any way you look at it. Being the rookie and having started the year with zero leads, working with 3 sales people who have been established for 10+ years and who two just last year broke the million dollar mark, I will be very happy with my accomplishments. TBD....

Consistency has also paid off in the workout department as I have been training for a 5K, keeping better tabs on my food intake resulting in the lost of 12 pounds in the last 6 weeks. September 4th I start a 10 week 'extreme body shaping program', an intense kickboxing and resistance bands training coupled with a nutrition program. The most extreme transformation takes home $1,000 at the end of the session. hmm..seems like a challenge to me! And my o! my what I could do with a $1,000 at the mall! TBD....

Kennedy is quickly realizing the impact of moving to high school with a tighter, fuller schedule. I am so proud of her as she is participating in marching band (2 hour practice before school) and cross country (2 hour practice after school). I can't wait for the first FB game this coming Friday and cross country meet on Saturday. She has been working very hard and I am sure the fruits of her labor will be rewarded. We are gearing up for confirmation in a few weeks as well as homecoming dress shopping. My! O! My! the next four years will be gone in a blink of an eye. That has already been decided!

Madison has been great about helping out at home with Kennedy's long hours away. Her schedule will adjust this week as she adds confirmation and dance on Wednesday and Thursday nights. She is becoming a beautiful dancer and this year will add an additional class. Lyrical, Tap, Ballet and Jazz and we were fortunate to get all four back to back classes on Thursday night reducing the amount of time we transport and the amount of time she is away from home. She is also continuing her violin, participating in the orchestra as well as joined the choir this year. I am bracing myself for next year, when she will also add organized school sports to her agenda. How will it all play out? TBD...

Last night we sent Kennedy off to her first high school dance, the Toga dance. Where I learned that Toga now means dress like as your friends, not parade around in a sheet. Thank goodness for the evolution of the Toga. She and 9 other friends dressed 80's style and the parents joined forces for group photos before negotiations were made on what vans would serve as drop off and pick up. I am still marveling at the fact that I do indeed have a freshman in high school. We were a drop off van and enjoyed all of the giggling that took place in the back seats with anticipation of the night ahead. With Madison sleeping over at a friends house, Mr. Milo and I took advantage of the rest of the evening hanging out at the nearest local establishment to sing a little karaoke before we dropped in bed at midnight. Kennedy checked in when she arrived at her girlfriend's house at 11:00. I asked how the dance was and all I got... "It was dumb." hmmm...I can't wait to hear more when she gets home today. Was it dumb, cause I don't like to dance in public places? Or was it dumb, just because it was new and I am a freshman, dumb? TBD....

So with the remaining 12 hours of my day, TBD I just made another pot of coffee, plugged in my new black cherry candle to enjoy and am contemplating catching up on some new releases from the video store while I stitch the afternoon away or holing up in the woman cave to plod along with my never ending scrapbook project. What to do, what to do? Well I guess that is TBD....
