coming up this week.........................

I have been watching training video's for real estate all last week, trying to catch up with another group of new agent's. Finally caught up Friday. So from here on out for the next 7-8 Monday's @ 10:00 A.M. I will be meeting with the broker and other new agent's for a little PEP talk and to see what we have done for the week. All part of the new agent training. This is why I am so blessed to have chosen the broker I did. he really does do some wonderful training. Not all broker's do this. The first three Tuesday's of each month are sales meetings. So for now I am getting settled into the new business. Praying for a few listings or MORE to come my way.

Going to make "Smothered Steak" in the crock pot for dinner tonight. Need to pick up a birthday card for my Dad and Husband. Got something special planned for my husband birthday. I can't wait.

Prayer list: Family and friends. Two people I know who have just recently lost a job. I have three people on the top of my list that I am praying for to make a decision for Christ! A relationship between a mother and son, to grow and deepen, to build trust and most of all LOVE! These I pray for and many more.

House Work: Finishing up laundry

Self: Tracking in the journal, trying to make time everyday for some sort of exercise.
Want to do my tosie wosies!

This is all I have for today. We had a wonderful weekend, Saturday I had to find and visit open houses as part of my training. To see how other agents do them. Seen some AWESOME houses!
Saturday, hurricane Bill moved through and left so many streets flooded! Went to see Julie and Julia, loved it! Sunday, piddled around the house, Sunday evening, went to church and enjoyed an awesome service led by Brian Houston.

Here we are to Monday!

Walking in the Race,

time management........................

In my new business, I am "off today" only meaning I don't have to report for training. Second business, I am NOT off today. So, I am going to spend some time preparing a time management schedule for me and my household. I always do this at this time of year. Kids are getting ready to return to school. Everybody is wore out from summer activity and we all seem to need a little CHANGE! I try to keep some of it fun, especially since I have 2 kids and they are teenager's. I love making list and I love love love calendar's! So this is always fun. I usually have to make a few tweaks around mid-October or so, once kids have signed up for any new activities, etc...

This year I will be adding things in for the real estate business. So this is going to be interesting.
I like to set aside 2 days a week for laundry, yes I need two. I really could use 5 with teenagers. But, I keep it at two. Another day for menu planning, I get recipes together, look through cabinets, freezer to see what I have. Make my list and menu. Clean out fridge. This is usually on Thursday's because trash comes on Friday. Oh yeah, Wednesday and Friday are laundry day's.
New to the scene this year is going to be "Tackle it Tuesday" and "Out Door Wednesday" and let's not forget the every two week cleaning parties with the family! You know the kids HATE it when I say we are going to have a cleaning party! Especially now that they are old enough to know that it isn't REALLY a party at all! I do try to keep it fun.

Now when doing my schedule, it's family first. I hear it can get really crazy at times in the real estate business and that's a good thing, but, you have to schedule family first. SO, besides the scheduling tips I have already known about, they teach some other positive ways to do it. That is right up my ALLEY!

So this is what I am going to do this morning with my time, as I wait for kids to arrive. Amen!

Love to all,
Terri

i am here.........................

The past few weeks have been sort of CRAZY busy. Just a quick note,,,,,,LOL! Still @ Weight Watchers, I did however GAIN 2 lbs back while on vacation,,,,: O ( Oh well, I had PMS as well, so we all know what that means. I have dealt with it and I am moving on. Had a great visit to D.C. with the family and in-laws. Since returning I have been doing some training in the office, waiting to get my license so I can get started. Okay so, I am learning how to walk in my race. I have taken my stand! The walk part might be slow but with God's grace, he is going to see me through. Stand, walk, then run.

Until school starts not sure how often I will post. I am SOOOO ready for everyone to get back to school. Some sort of a routine back in place! Well, maybe.



In the race,

Terri

saturday weigh in......................................

2.0 lbs. lost!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking back on the week it was pretty good! I passed my PSI exam, that's over, kept a good tracker for my Weight Watcher's journal, thanks to my daughter Mallory! Mallory is doing Weight Watcher's as well. She is weighing in at home on Saturday mornings when she gets up. Mallory has really helped me to behave this week with keeping track of my points. She lost 3.6 lbs this week, way to go Mallory.

For this week coming up we are getting ready for the in-laws to come. They live in Ohio, and are coming to visit for the week. We will be leaving next Sunday to go to D.C. for a few days. I am so looking forward to that as we haven't had a family vacation this year. So, I will be doing the usual house cleaning for company. That's just what I like to do.

Getting back to my daily readings and focusing on the gym. We haven't been for a couple of weeks so would like to get that in. I think I am going to treat myself tomorrow to a pedicure and manicure. My first sales meeting is going to be Tuesday morning so I want to be ready. Looking for ward to this new adventure.

Life is good and we are blessed!
Terri
