Being a working mom stinks!

Well I had my annual review today. Actually this is my second one this year, because I was on maternity leave this time last year. Pretty much what I expected although it still got me upset. My attendance is an issue and I need to refocus on work.

They are FINALLY hiring another paralegal.  I've been asking for this for 3 years. It still upsets me though because i feel like it wasn't because I asked for it, but because I'm a crappy employee. If I would have gotten more help 2-3 years ago I wouldn't be in this situation. 

Being a working mom means you're never 100% and I feel like a crappy wife, mother and employee. I'm hoping this will help my situation and is not the beginning of the end.  Although, my husband keeps telling me to quit so who knows. 

Vacation

Well we've been on vacation for the past week and we are wrapping it up tomorrow.  I haven't taken a break from my direct sales business though. I've been trying to reach out to a few people everyday. Come Monday I am in full force for the holiday season. My goal is to book 4 jewelry bars ( our term for party) a month. Lots of people have expressed interest so I'm hoping I can get them to set a date.

Ideally I would like to add a few more team members too! We'll see how that goes.

Fundraising!

So how is a busy mom supposed to work a direct sales business in order to quit her full time job when that full time job takes up all the time she has to work her business??? It's a catch 22! It takes a lot of planning and some late nights, but my new focus is fundraising.

How can giving away your money help you with your business you might ask?? Well in the long run fundraising is a great way to expose people to #OrigamiOwl. Plus it reinforces our mission to be a #ForceForGood. So look out Delaware county Pennsylvania!! I'm looking to help you raise money for whatever you need with easy profitable fundraiser. 

Do you need help with #medical bills, #adoption fees, #sports #team fees (#basketball, #baseball, #cheerleading, #football, #soccer and so on)? If you need to raise money for anything, I can help!

Getting it all done

This will never happen, but I'm learning to live with it.

Monday was great and everything was clean before going to bed. However, I didn't get to bed until almost 11pm.

Tuesday I decided to let the dishes sit so I could work on my Origami Owl business. For those of you who know me, I'm working on this so I can be a SAHM one day. I was able to make a few calls and send a bunch of follow up emails.  You know what they say, "the fortune is in the follow up!"

Our morning routine is getting better, although I did forget lunch for me this morning.

Tonight I hope to do some quick cleaning and then spend some time with my hubby!

I'm off from my day job tomorrow so lots more Origami Owl work to be done!
