Something I'm pretty excited about!

I'm an Usborne Book Consultant.  I fell in love with Usborne books long ago before I even knew that I could sell them.  My boys love the books and I was even more excited when I decided to go on this homeschooling journey that Usborne books are everywhere in the homeschool area.  Even the curriculum I'm using this year features a few Usborne books.  So after much thought and talking it out with my hubby, I decided to become a consultant.  I'm super excited because I truly believe books are a great investment for our children.  And the best part is that I get to offer free books.  I like free and I'm sure others do too.  So for now I'm super excited and I can't wait to book my first show.  Hmmm, I wonder who that'll be?

Being pulled this way and that way!

This is not my idea of fun!  When there are so many things to do I have a tendency to shut down until I can breathe and then I take it by the horns, but I'm having a hard time finding those horns.  There is so much to do within the next 3 weeks that I think I need to cry.  I am literally stressing about everything!  And normally I don't.  I usually stress about a couple of things but lately it has even been about what I'm going to wear.  My mind literally does not shut off at night!  To top it off my hubby had a 4 day weekend and not a single thing got done.  We spent 2 full days away from our house so that didn't help matters much.  Then yesterday poor hubby was sick.  Can I just please get a reprieve?  I am so far from perfect yet I've had a few people tell me that I'm supermom and that they can't believe that I do so much.  Well first I'm not supermom.  Somedays are better than others but I'm a busy body and have to keep going.  My kids are pretty well behaved and listen fairly well yet there are days that I want to lock myself in a closet!  Second, if i was a supermom...I'd have time to work out!  I don't.  With my hubby being gone 12-14 hours a day, everything falls on me.  So I either get up early in the morning, which I hate to do, and work out or I don't at all.  Then if I wake up early, I'm so tired at the end of the night that my hubby doesn't get any quality time.  Life with three kids has been a transition.

Wow. I have no idea where I'm going with this.  It has turned more into a complaining post than anything.  Maybe it'll help me now that I've vented.  Or not.  Maybe I need a girls night out.  That would only be possible though if I had a few girlfriends.  Hmm life is interesting sometimes but I'll make it through!
