Laziness

These last couple days I've been feeling really lazy. But not lazy like I haven't done anything, because I cleaned our whole house. It's small but it's still clean :) I mean I haven't had the energy or the will power to get up and put in a full workout. That's not good. I went to zumba Wednesday night, but other than going for bike rides, I haven't worked out. 

Tonight I decided I better get off my butt and do something active. So, I popped in one of my zumba dvd's and got to work. My favorite one is only 30 minutes but its a hard 30 minutes. 

If I was a sceptic that working out doesn't improve your mood and how you feel, I am no longer! I feels 100% better, even if I am exhausted. And I'm happy again. Not like I was depressed before. I just had a bad day. I woke up sore and on the wrong side of the bed. And to top it off, Mackenzie and Cameron woke up on the wrong side of their beds too, and decided it would be a good idea to fight all day. So I was in a pretty crappy mood. But no more!

Just had to put that realization on paper. If you're in a slump, workout!!!

Have a great night, I know I will!!!

Our 22 hour trip

Tuesday night Marty and I decided to pack up the kids and Buddy and head up north, spur of the moment. We didn't know what we were going to do or where we were staying. We just started driving. I realize most responsible adults with kids to take care of dint usually do this, but why not? It was fun! 

We left at 6:00 Tuesday night and arrived at the Mackinaw bridge at 10:30. We walked around Fort Mihilimackinac for a bit by the water before crossing into the U.P. We all stayed the night in my car at the visitors center on the other side of the bridge.

Wednesday morning we got up, cleaned up, and found some breakfast.

We drove to castle rock (couldn't go in because buddy was with us), but I still took pictures. 

Drove back over the bridge, took a walk around Michilimackinac State Park, and checked everything out, took some family pictures, bought fudge and taffy and headed home.

It's a new month!

Today is July 1st! As a Mary Kay lady, it's the first day of our new year. Goals were either reached or just missed (or missed by a mile for some) yesterday. New goals will be set or given a new date today! It's a clean slate for everyone.

I have some big goals that I haven't met, but this is now a new year and a new beginning. My big goal, as of today, is to be a sales director by June 30, 2014. One year and a lot of hard work. It's time to plan my work, and work my plan!

I know you have no idea what a sales director consists of. It's a team of at least 24 people and wholesale orders of at least $24,000 each quarter. I'm starting with no team members and no where near that in sales. But I want to do this to make life easier for us. To have opportunities as a family that we don't currently have. And to give Mackenzie and Cameron a worry free college life where they don't have to worry about paying tuition or getting loans. These are my dreams, and it's the opportunity I have in front of me at the moment to make all of this happen!

Wish me luck! And happy new year!
