I'm The Tortoise, Not The Hare
So far I feel like the tortoise in the race with the hare!
In the beginning I was flying through the training and everything was falling together and I felt like I was accomplishing something important, but now I have been busy the past few days and feel like I'm slacking. I know I could have gotten online after I cleaned the kitchen of its dinner mess and put the kids to bed but then I would be up late and having to be up by 7AM, it just was not in my plans.
Today I had to go to the next town over and while we were there I decided to take the kids to the park and let them play while I went over a few blog ideas on my laptop. I pull out my laptop and flip it open and to my surprise my battery was low and after only 5 minutes of writing, it dies. OK, no problem I have pen and paper..... well my pen doesn't work. At this point I just give up and go play with my kids on the splash pad.
On my drive back home with tired slightly sun burned kids debating on what they want to eat for dinner I realized something.... If I spend too much time focusing on my online things then I will be missing out on the around me things and if I focus too much on the around me things.... well you get the picture.. I need to get more organized and get on a schedule.
I'm hoping in the next few months I can get some kind of steady flow of income (even if it's a dollar) and have my second blog up and running. After the end of this year hopefully I will have more time (and money) to spend with my kids while everything is already set and just needs time to time maintenance.
Now time to get dinner done...
Have a great rest of the day!

Hi Amanda,
Just remember who won the race. Yes sometimes it feels like a slow crawl and at other times you are just flying along.
Finding balance is key and having a schedule I found has been important for me.
You are doing good Amanda. Already covered level two and it seems like you have a busy life.
Wishing you the best,
Michael
Thanks, Michael!
Organization and schedules are not my strong suit but I'm working on it lol. We have a busy weekend laying down new flooring in my house so I won't be able to be on very much in the afternoon today, Saturday and Sunday but that will be another problem out of the way!
Have a great day,

Hi Amanda
I happened to see this when I logged in just now.
I read it through and liked it because this is what we all face at some point in one way or another.
You will achieve the right balance when everything else in your life has stabilized and settled.
Here’s wishing that it happens for you much sooner rather than later!
Upward and onward!
Thanks!
I think it will get easier after my kids go back to school lol. I dread school starting because they are my little sidekicks but I do feel like I will get more done.
Thanks for the positive vibes!

How old are your kids, Amanda? Have you ever considered including them in what you do? Not only would you be helping yourself by surrounding yourself with the loves of your life, your kiddies, but you'd also be helping them to learn important lessons for their own futures.
The internet is here to stay an' your kiddies will be that much better off if they learn how to maneuver while they are young, rather than wait 'til later. One nice thing is that they can also earn their own money. Simply let 'em use one of your 25 websites an' alla' ya'll can learn together. That is allowed an' that's actually how my ten year old grandson is learning to build His ow website.
Any questions, please ask... me or, anyone else. We ALL want to see you at the Top!
