The Lost Saturday

So here's a breakdown of my day:
Wake up. Realize that I look a fright--leftover eye makeup from last night's program smeared across my face, eyes swollen shut from sickness, chapped lips from breathing through my mouth all night, and hair ALL over the place. I was all Edward Scissorhands, yo. Further realize that the hubs will be arriving home any minute from a long night of work. Deem that although we've seen each other in all kinds of states, that hot mess was just not acceptable. Take shower. Put on jeans and a top. Hubs arrives home, I make breakfast. Re-pot two cactus plants and my aloe vera plant. Empty dryer, fold clothes. Empty dishwasher. Resign myself to couch for the majority of the day. Begin watching Scentsy training videos and reading the book from my brother. Blog. Search for new blog background. Try four times before installing successfully. Facebook. Read. Search for Lilypie ticker. Try two times before posting successfully. Search Scentsy website. Run fever. Freeze, sweat, freeze, sweat, freeze, repeat. Abandon regular clothes for pajama pants. Freeze. Wear jacket and put on blanket. Beg hubs to make me some rice and hot tea. Begin to eat rice, become overwhelmed by nausea from being too hungry. Spend rest of evening growing more nauseated by hunger, yet too nauseated to eat. Wonder if this is what morning sickness will be like. Debate whether it's worth it. Decide yes. Pray God will spare me from morning sickness. Decide church is definitely out of the question for tomorrow.

I feel like I have done a lot of thinking and very little working today. I read the book that my brother sent me and thought about the future. I'm an extremely goal-oriented person. I set personal goals for myself ALL the time, and I push myself until I meet them. I enjoyed reading through the book because it talked about how to push through challenges, when to expect results from your direct selling business, and how to set and achieve business goals. My long-term goal in this is to earn enough money each month to cover Mr. ABC123's student loan payments, which is going to take some big sales. So, I sat down and planned out how much money I'll have to make to do that, ways to drum up business, and ways to advertise myself. I'm thinking about doing some trade shows or craft fairs on the weekends, so I talked to my sponsor about that and we're going to have a call tomorrow to discuss what it would involve. It's a pretty big goal, but I want to try to reach it. Fingers crossed.
