Yikes!

First off, my house right now is a disaster. There’s kids toys everywhere, baby stuff everywhere, random pieces of bedroom furniture everywhere, and my dining room and laundry room are the worst parts. I feel like I’m making progress, and have even thrown some color samples up the girls’ wall. I have to remind myself that once I’m done with Mia’s room, I have to do it all over again with Isabel’s, although that will be a bit easier as I already did a pre-purge of her stuff. It should go much smoother.

On the other hand, business is good. I’m getting the hang of all the paperwork and understand certain systems a bit more each day. Having the freedom to work from home and still be completely available for my girls is priceless. I have nothing stopping me and the possibilities are endless. My challenge has been marketing. It’s always marketing for me, so NOT my thing. But, if I’m going to learn to run a business of systems I guess it’s time for me to learn. We are looking forward to our real estate convention this weekend, if anything we can at least network with other like minded people.

   

We drove down to Portland this past weekend to drop off our old truck. It was a bitter sweet moment, my husband has had that truck for 16 years. The first conversation I had with him was in the parking lot of the casino after work while he was in his truck. For a little truck, this beast packed a punch and never let us down. I always felt comfortable that if I had to I could easily run someone or something over and come out on top. Beast! It was fun to drive, hard to clean, and only left us somewhere when the battery died. It went to a good home and know it will continue to serve well, it’s a Toyota, if you take care of it, it will take care of you. 

Today I wrote to the background noise of some ghost show, and listened to my oven click as it slowly roasted my garlic herb chicken.
