More snow

Well, here it is Monday and yes, it snowed again. School closed early and I was a play toy. Now I am not complaining but help.

I also was able to have a great conversation with a prospect. I really love meeting interesting people. It was a phone call, but I really enjoyed our conversation. I, of course, immediately followed up with him and sent an email. It's in God's hands now. Sales is tough and I love it. Where else do you get the opportunity to meet great people, help them and get great rewards. Sure it's tough, but it's worth it. The best part is that I really believe that I have something that people need. And when I do get to work with a great client and they see how this is the best thing since sliced bread, I know I am doing something right. My clients usually say they wish the met us sooner. It really is the best.

Tomorrow, well I guess it will be delays at school and hopefully I will have time to do some work at home. We will see. For now I must go to bed.

I'm Back . . .

Well in the middle of the snow I went to Baltimore for a Sales Conference of my peers. It was great. It really helped me see the big picture, meet some great and gutsy people and also understand that we do have something very important for people who really need us. It's funny but since I became a mom-preneur, going to conferences are also like little mini-vacations. I was waited on, ate terrific food and was able to finish many sentences without interruptions. I even drank a cup of coffee while it was still warm. But I must say that when I got home from my day of fun and learning I was exhausted. I literally was in bed by 8:30 pm. How do moms do it that do this every day? I am so blessed. Well the best part was when I got home my kids were running with glee and arms up to see me and hug me. There is nothing better. And to put a cherry on my sundae, my husband had dinner well in hand. I was able to enjoy the boys and relax before we ate a terrific dinner. I could get used to this. Well now I am on a mission. I am going to be a very present mom (enjoy the boys while we are together) and then enjoy work (and not worry about the boys) so as Zig Ziggler says I don't get cooked in a squat.

It's still snowing . . .

Well the boys came home at 11:30, and we have spent a great day playing. We built a fort, had a picnic, played with clay, watched a movie and made popcorn. By the way, why is it that boys turn everything into weapons. I make little clay animals and they turn them into battlebots. Or maybe it's just my little guys. It just doesn't get better than this. I even have had time to play with my blog. This is fun. I need to stay present and enjoy this. Tomorrow I am off to Baltimore to a conference. I am grateful to my sister-in-law Laureen, (Aunt Naneen), she will be my back up tomorrow and the kids are looking forward to a day of fun and play. Well I am off to make dinner and think about how I can use this blog.

Welcome

Welcome to our Blog. Today they are calling for 8" of snow and I am listening to the radio to find out when the school is closing. I sit here updating my blog and wonder how women work when they can be called on at a minutes notice to get children because the schools has closed or maybe one of them woke up sick. The good news is I can at least work for a few minutes. I am excited about the web which also means I can work when the kids go to sleep. I would love to hear how other women keep up with the insanity of raising children and running a business or working outside of the home.
