Oh my
goodness, where do I even begin??
The last
week and a half has been a complete blur! So much so, that I didn’t even get
the chance to blog. My apologies to those who follow me. The act of writing for
me is so therapeutic, that when I don’t give myself the chance to sit down and
concentrate on it, time runs away from me.
In the last
week, I feel like I have been running around in circles with my head cut off
trying to look for my tail. Seriously crazy INTENSE week. Just to give you an
idea of what it looked like…I am the Office Manager/Administrator for my
boyfriend’s home business, which week by week is getting busier and busier. I
also run my own Arbonne business from my home as well. I work my business
entirely over the internet, which means I am constantly corresponding with
clients, consultants and potential prospects 24/7. I blog for an amazing
magazine as well. Tanya Lee and I met online over Facebook when I asked her if
she would like to try a sample of Arbonnes RE9 and she wrote back to me saying
“do I look old”? to which I replied “of course not!,…so do you wanna try a
sample?” lol, and since then we have started
a beautiful friendship across the Canada/US borders. On top of that I have my 2
crazy dogs to help take care of and last but certainly not least, I have my
beautiful 17 month old son, Kaynen, to throw into the mix as well. Oh, and at
the same time, trying to stay in decent shape so that I find myself attractive enough
to stand in front of the mirror and wink at myself J . I’m a stay at home mom, office
manager, business owner, dog walker, friend, companion and lover. Geez, can a
girl get a break??
No.
No break.
Never a
break.
Always
something to do.
I am still
standing though, mind you on wobbly legs and with very tired eyes, but I am
still up and that’s what matters the most to me. Is that no matter how many
labels I have placed on myself, I know I am strong enough to keep up and keep
going. I have figured out the easiest and most efficient way for me to get
everything done, is to “chunk” my time. So my mornings are basically a “NO WORK
ZONE” meaning I cook breakfast for the family, sit down and eat said breakfast,
play with Kaynen and the dogs, chat with Josh and then walk the dogs. By 1pm
it’s Kaynens nap time for 2 hours, which gives me the time to catch up on
Arbonne work and Therapy Admin work. After which, its then lunch time, and
usually I can sneak in an extra hour of work while Kaynen eats his lunch. Then
more play time, perhaps another dog walk, preparation of dinner and then
sitting down to eat at around 630. Kaynen will then play for another hour and a
half until bedtime at 8. I then hop into my bike shorts and take myself for a
45 minute spin, then a 20 minute HIIT workout then a shower. 930 rolls around
and that usually means following up on Arbonne emails and Therapy emails. By
11:30-midnight, I’m pretty pooped, but have just enough left in me to hang out
with my main man for an hour or so. By 1
am I am pretty much a zombie and hit the hay.
I tell ya,
if it wasn’t for Arbonnes amazing RE9 anti-aging creams and super-duper
concealer and foundation, the “Walking Dead” would be casting a new zombie
character.
Chunking my
time has made my life seem insanely busy, but completely manageable. Josh is an
amazing father and helps out a tonne when not working. Every now and then I
even score a mini massage ;)
If you’re
feeling overwhelmed by all the stuff that goes on in your
day/week/month…whatever it is….write it down and then sort out your priorities
according to what is most important to you. What can wait so that you can spend
more time with your man, your kids, your pets, your work. Choose your
priorities and make them the most important things out of every little thing
that creeps up on you and I can guarantee that life won’t seem so out of sorts
at the end of the day. J
Wishing you
all a very “chunking” good week!
Cheers to
your Health,
