Morning! M had a rough-ish night. She kept crying out around 1, so we dosed with Motrin and she slept until we disturbed her at 6. She got up with a ton of snot caked across her face. Yummy. She's off to FIL's house for the day.
Since SO took M to his dad's house, I got to get ready for work in peace. I even stopped at DD for a breakfast sandwich and a hot chocolate (because I'm 12 and hate coffee)!
I'm working until 3:30. Then it's to the store to pick up baby meds, as we're almost out, and home to pack. I leave in the morning and haven't packed! My suitcase is still in the attic.
Morning e woke at 410 this morning. I gave up at 530 and took her downstairs. Then I fell asleep again at6 until about 730. Breakfast now then shower and on our way. Gotta stop by my work to grab the passes then we are going to the aquarium.

Today's the first day of summer break! I'm taking the kids to the zoo this morning. DH reminded me about a million times to bring hats and sunscreen. I hope I remember.
And maybe I'll finally get around to returning some library books I took out in February. Auto renewals = no late fees, only shame.
Well I jinxed it. Boys slept like crap. R up at 11 for a soothe, C up at 330 and wouldn't go back down for an hour. R up at 540 for the day. I just want to sleep like a normal person again.
No plans today but grocery shopping. I didn't meal plan yesterday, anyone want to share what they're making this week?
F slept all night again! She woke a bit fussy but I know it's just teething pain. She's grabbing both ears. Fx these last few teeth (for now) push through.
I booked the flights for F, my sister and I to go out to OR. We leave 7/14. I am already getting anxious and will be posting about how to entertain and keep F calm!
I'm here! This past weekend was really busy and I still don't believe today is Monday. It cannot be Monday already. N was insane this morning. I left my wallet at home, got stuck at a gas station and had to wait for MH to bring me my wallet. I'm alive, though, right? That's all that matters. Trying to be positive!!! Hahah.
I had my first in-home pop-up yesterday, I think it went pretty well. Only 8 people showed up, but almost everyone bought at least 2 things.. I think only one girl just bought a pair of leggings. It really wasn't too bad lugging all of my shit there, either. I just tossed it all into boxes, back of the pick up truck, and off I went.
Must try to get some real work done so I can do nothing the rest of the day..
malvo fx M's snot doesn't turn into anything! Gl packing.
babys2015 hugs. Sorry for another rough night. This week we're doing spaghetti squash with meat sauce, burgers (mine without a bun), grilled chicken and zucchini, breakfast for dinner, grilled pineapple chicken kabobs with green beans and tacos (mine without the shell)

Soooo, I forgot I'm supposed to be in a multi-consultant party tomorrow. And of course I have 3 boxes of new inventory to be photographed and Max is being fussy. Fuuuuuck.
I made at or above rate all week! So I'm going to enjoy my days off despite my back being flared up. Wayne got sick yesterday morning and refused to eat or drink half of the day. So today I'm keeping a close eye on him, but so far he is happy and getting into any and all trouble he can find or make.

Guys! My inventory gets here Thursday!! I'm so excited but also stressing out trying to decide if I should have a sale this weekend or not because we leave for vacation Sunday and don't get back until the following Sunday. I don't want to have a party and then skip a week but I also don't really want to wait 2 weeks to launch.. Horrible timing
coleybug13, I'd wait. Even if you get all your photos taken, the invoicing & shipping process will be a huge bear and I don't think you can complete that before the end of the weekend. So, if you launch Saturday, you'd want to have inventory up for at least 24 hours, and then you'll be leaving before you get a chance to even invoice, let alone pull the orders and ship?

That's what I'm thinking! DH is so anxious to get going that he keeps pushing to do it right away but he has no concept of how much effort goes in. Especially since he doesn't help with it... Plus it'll be Fourth of July weekend and probably people will be on vacation

Yeah. Sales are really sucky right now. J months are the worst and a holiday will make it even slower. You do a fantastic job keeping your group active and aware, lots of them are probably ready to shop, but I'd still probably wait.
Online pop-ups take up a lot more time. I usually post inventory whatever night, start invoices the next day, and then ship the NEXT day. But, I also work full-time, so I need to sort it out in small chunks. You'll figure out what works best for you pretty quickly!

ladymike I haven't said when my inventory is coming so hopefully they can hold out until I get back! I want to do a lot of live sales so I don't have to take so many pics but I'm scared! I suck so bad at public speaking I think I might actually faint on camera

OK WAIT DO THIS. Live sale Friday night, all invoices must be paid by Saturday at noon. Then, Saturday night, you pack up and label everything. Find someone who can take your shit to the P.O. for you Monday morning. Saves you time and just be strict about paying invoices. If you don't pay, I'm leaving for a week, now you gotta wait.
My #1 LLR pet peeve is people who don't pay their invoices. YOU KNOW YOU CLAIMED AN ITEM. PAY UP. I have officially started deleting invoices after 48 hours because I'm over it. I left so much stuff at home on Sunday because of pending invoices and then bitches STILL didn't pay. Drives me nuts.

ladymike I am definitely NOT brave enough to do a live sale for my launch! Plus that's so much inventory!! H wants to do an album sale Friday night then bring two styles to the beach and do live sales from there.. I kinda think that'd be fun but mostly I think it's insane..
That's going to drive me nuts too! PAY YOUR INVOICE PEOPLE!!
coleybug13, You could post everything in albums and just make sure it's clearly stated, I'm going on vacation and won't be shipping orders until _____. Nothing wrong with keeping your stuff up all week and then just invoice as needed while you're away.

True! I need to be less indecisive and just pick something and go with it haha
Thoughts and prayers! SIL is in labor and having baby now! I'm here w her and her hubby will be here within 6 hours. They think her placenta abrupted. She's 37 weeks.
