Just Another Day...

Have you ever just had one of those weeks where you would love a "DO OVER"?  That has been this week for me, thank goodness it is almost over!  Here is my every week in a nutshell!  My week runs 90 to nothin' starting on Monday with scouts for my oldest son and my daughter on Mondays and Tuesdays, housework, homework, and speech therapy for my daughter twice a week.  "What do you mean you don't have any clean jeans in your drawer?"  Oh My Gosh! Is the laundry that backed up again?  I just finished it all! Then this week has been even more trying on the nerves, Oh well!  With nerves on end, I am so glad this week is almost at an end!  But wait!  Saturday and Sunday both booked solid with church, meetings and banquets, and Girl Scout Cookie pickup and deliveries!   Have you ever wondered if your kids really know what a trash can is?  I have!  Every time you turn around you find more trash.  They just drop and keep right on going then come back and just step right over whatever it is they dropped.   How many times a day does your vacuum cleaner run? Oh, how the housework is NEVER done.   My mind is a frazzle when I actually stop and realize just what all goes on in a weeks time - no wonder it all just flies by!  CALGON, TAKE ME AWAY!!  I am so glad that my Herbalife Products give me the energy I need to get through all of this!

An Amazing Weekend...

Never let it be said that the Girl Scout Way is gone!  I just had an amazing weekend with my fellow leaders camping at the Adult Scouters' Retreat Weekend.  I learned a lot and had so much fun!  I learned more about myself- my strengths and weaknesses- this weekend. I actually went the entire weekend without one single cigarette!  Wow! Guess I just quit!  We went hiking, did crafts, and enjoyed a campfire circle.  I think the greatest thing I learned is I am just like everyone else.  There is no reason to be scared to be yourself.  No one is any better than me!  What a revelation this weekend was.  I am always so shy and quiet because I just do not want anyone think of me as embarrassing.  Is my low self esteem showing again?  OOPS!  Yes, I am as smart, as strong, as beautiful, as hard working, as ANYTHING as anyone else.  I am very glad that I have gotten involved in Scouting.  I think it has been better for me than my daughter so far.  I guess I was having a real hard time realizing just how small that box around me had gotten.  Then I started my own business and joined the Girl Scouts with my daughter.  The box started to grow and now I have met some of the most amazing ladies that I just cannot wait to learn more from!  Yes, I really am stretching and growing!  There really is no reason to be so shy and meek.  Will the real me please stand?  Here I am and I am ready to shine!

a new life ....

Well I have started a new life here very recently and it has been amazing!  I am pretty shy by nature so putting me out there on a blog is a BIG major step, but so much has changed in my life in the last year that I want to share.  I am a busy mom of three beautiful children, and my husband is very supportive and loving.  I was very overweight and depressed and no rays of sunshine could get through, not even when brought in by my blessed family.  But then I started my own Work from Home Business in which I sell very nutritional herbal products. Then I lost 45 pounds and over 35 inches!  Then my self esteem started to blossom and I started to gain more confidence in myself.  Low and behold the clouds have lifted, the rays of sunshine have broken through and my life is back on track.  The most amazing thing is the volunteering I have been doing for our local Girl Scouts and my daughter’s troop!  I know that all of this is only possible because of the change in my frame of mind!
