Diaper Bags and Briefcases

I had one of those experiences recently that kinda slaps you in the face about what you should be doing with yourself. I've been praying for a while now on what to do "for a living". I was originally going to have more going on at the dance studio but due to some changes made to the formatting I won't be teaching as much as originally thought. That left a little financial hole in our pocket. What to do? What to do?

God has let me know on several occasions that it is time to make it happen. He's given me so many clues. I decided to start listening to them. I've been playing around with the whole Mary Kay thing for a long time now. I spoke with my Mary Kay director, Terri Beckstead, for almost a half hour the other night and she told me to not make plans. She said to just pretend like I am a new consultant and just see where things take me. A solid 2 months of really working is what I need. She did ask me what I envisioned and I couldn't come up with a solid idea. I just want something that allows me to still be a stay at home Mom and to have some extra income. She said that when she started over 19 years ago. She said that she wanted a diaper bag on one arm and a briefcase on the other. I loved the image that created in my mind. That's exactly what I want. My family is first. Always. I created a Facebook page and I would love it if you were to like it. That's my starting point. I'm scheduled to talk to my director again early next week to get a plan set out. Can't wait!

JD must be going through a growth spurt because he has been sleeping the day away. I'm not complaining though. It got a ton done as well as a nice long over 2 hour nap with him. The house looks awesome and I feel awesome. Best. Day. So. Far.

Tomorrow should bring a much more relaxed day. Step 5 of the Paper Plan was really easy. It took me maybe 5 minutes and I didn't through out that much more. Glad I went through it again though.
