New Beginnings

As if I wasn't already excited enough about my new job, I talked to my partner today and he got me even MORE excited!! We talked over an hour about everything just trying to get to know each other. He and I have a lot in common and I can already tell that this team is going to be GREAT! We are going to meet up tomorrow to talk more before the whole group gets together on Monday. I think we both have lots to add and contribute to the team, so I am looking forward to getting thru training and getting started. He has also been successful with our company,and he will be going on a trip to Hawaii that he won! I must admit, I was a little worried about who I would get paired up with, but not anymore. I know that he has a great work ethic and I plan on us going on another trip next year! I will keep you all posted on everything.

Until next time...

2nd Day Back to Work

Well, I figured I better be quick to update everyone on the latest with my work situation since yesterday didn't go so well. As I posted yesterday, I did lots of prayer for strength and I think everyone else did too. I was determined to have a good attitude today and not let ANYTHING or ANYONE ruin my day. I had a good day. Of course I still didn't get my territory back, but I do have a new one coming my way and I don't think I want my old one back anyway.

The good things about my new one is that I have a whole new territory to sell in unlike my old one where I was just tired of looking at the same old businesses every day. Also, for my new territory I don't have to drive more than 20 minutes from my house to get ANYWHERE!! In my old territory I could spend 3 hours of the day on the road which means I wasn't selling but half of the day. I also had a phone block today and already set up a face to face appointment with 2 target(big accounts) accounts in my territory for tomorrow and Friday, so that is definintely great news.

Thanks to everyone that prayed for me. Please continue to pray for me because there are some other things I am still dealing with, but I am trying to only focus on the positive things at this point.

Also, Tatum did great again with the lady that is keeping her. She was smiling when I left and smiling when I got back. It makes life so much easier knowing she is happy and well taken care of.

Finally, I have to do some bragging on Antonio. He has been so helpful for the past two days with helping me with Tatum in the mornings so I can get out the door by 6:45am. He gets her up around 6:10am, changes her diaper, dresses her, feeds her, puts her in her carseat, and even loads her in the car. Tatum and I have managed to get up and out the door in about 45 minutes thanks to Antonio's help. Tomorrow I get to sleep in a bit and not leave here until almost 8am!! YAY for Daddy-O(Antonio) and other helpful daddies in the world!

I will keep my blogs updated this week for sure so everyone can know how life is going. We will also try and take some new pictures of Tatum so I can post them this weekend.

FINALLY....last thing, I have officially lost 14 lbs since Christmas. I am almost half way to my goal for the YEAR!! The treadmill hasn't been used since I went back to work, I must admit, however, I think the real secret is STOP eating when you are full at mealtime and NO snacking. It is working for me at least right now.

Until next time....

1st Day Back at Work

Well I can honestly say that I was hoping for the best when I returned to work today, but needless to say it was the WORST!! I was fine with leaving Tatum at the daycare, but when I got to the office the work situation was not great. In fact, it was not even good. I don't know which was worse....losing my territory or being backstabbed by someone that I called a friend.

I expected the territory deal, but not the lying and backstabbing from this person. I guess it just goes to show that you really can't trust anyone anymore. I can honestly say that I would have NEVER done the things that were done to me. I didn't ask for this person to defend me or stick up for me, but I did ask that this person not lie to me. I mean, is that too hard? I guess it is for some people. It just shows the true character of this person I guess.

Anyway, I have done my part and I am over it. I spent most of my day praying for strength to get through this and some way find a positive aspect of everything that happened. This is pretty hard considering all that I was faced with today, but I am trying. There were so many other things that happened, but I can not go into details. I will take it one day at a time and remember that this is out of my hands and in God's hands. I can not make people "pay" for what they did or didn't do, but God can and will as He sees fit. I just don't understand how people can be okay with being unethical in life. I guess I never will understand it and that is fine with me.

Please pray for me to have LOTS of strength and courage to face these things that I am going through with a good attitude. It will be hard, but I figure if I can give birth, then I can do this. I am WOMAN....hear me ROAR!! LOL

This reminds me of a story.....

There once was a sparrow who was flying through the sky and came upon very cold weather. His wings began to form ice on them and this finally took him down to the ground because of the weight of the ice. The sparrow realized quickly that his life was over and he was prepared to die. Just when he had given up all hope, along came a cow and pooped on the sparrow. Needless to say, the sparrow was very unhappy about this. Not only was he going to die, but he was going to be covered in cow poop and die. A minute or two later he realized that the cow's poop was warm and it was melting the ice. As he warmed up he could move about and was very happy. He was so happy he began to sing and churp very loudly. He was singing so loudly that a cat in the barn heard him that he came out to see what was going on. He saw the sparrow and pulled him out of the cow poop and ate him.

What is the moral of this story??

Not everyone that poops on you means you harm.

Not everyone that pulls you out of poop is looking out for your well being.

Those that sing the loudest shouldn't because it will catch up to them in the end.

Until next time.....
