I have had to put the brakes on the fun part and develop what I call, "BUSINESS SENSE". We cannot forget about tax day, April 15th. As I shared in my very first blog, I set weekly goals in order to reach where I am today.
In order for me to complete the necessary work for the business side of my company, I had to devise a daily schedule. Remember, I am a wife and a mom, too, but my girls are at Ole Miss. The following is an example of my day:
9:00 pm (night before) load dirty clothes in washing machine and set timer for washer to start at 3:00 a.m.
4:30 a.m. transfer washed clothes to clothes dryer, coffee, journal, read current events, etc
5:30 a.m. household duties (hang or fold clean clothes, dress to exercise, etc
6:00 a.m Walk my yellow lab to the lake and complete my isolation exercises (beautiful view!!), feed Nila, water plants
6:45 a.m. cook dinner. I love to cook. I create with whatever is in the pantry and freezer.
7:30 a.m. shower, dress, prepare for the day
8:30 a.m. In my office and ready to work non-stop. Most of the time, I miss lunch.
All day, recording, scanning, filing, every receipt from the entire year.
6:00 p.m. close the computer
I have been frustrated to the point of tears. Every day I learned something new dealing with the business side of my company. I kept saying to myself, All I want to do is create. This part is not fun, at all. However, I am so relieved that I am very close to completing my goal. I can honestly say, I have had wonderful guidance when situations occurred. Tracey, Becky, Leah, Jim, Esther and Melissa, thank you so much for your friendship, professionalism and help.

Wow...you inspire me!!! when I was reading your post on the schedule of your day, I was exhausted by the time I got to 6:45 a.m. You do more in the first few hours of your day than most people do in a full 24 hours of theirs! You are my own personal "energizer bunny"....HA! Amazing!!!
