Wasted Day

I slept forever today and I have no idea why. I slept great last night too, then at 10:30 I took a nap and slept til 6pm wtf? I don't get it. In total I slept midnight til 8am then 10:30 to 6 that is a lot and I'm still tired how is that possible???? 

But on the good side I did end up going for a hour long walk yay me! We all went and did some marketing door to door and I helped Bry put the fliers up so I multi-tasked exercise and  marketing woohoo lol. Other then that I really didn't do anything I know sad huh. Wasted day. Oh well tomorrows another day. 

I'm not sure what I'm going to do this weekend, we have no plans yet. I do need to figure out how to do my hair so maybe I will do that. When I got it done she put a ton of products in it and I haven't washed it yet so it feels nasty I need to wash it but I'm nervous lol I know dumb huh. I'm so broke it's not even funny so I need to get some new clients on board. I have a meeting this Sunday with a new daily so that is nice! I got to get on my client that's boarding with me to pay me the rest of what she owes. I got to go buy some hair products and all that good junk to do my hair I have no idea what to get though. 


Well I'm off to watch Chelsea Lately I LOVE HER!!!! So funny!!!! Tootles!!!

Morning

So the hair is being a pain I haven't gotten use to it yet. I'm use to waking up just throwing it in a messy bun and I'm on my way. Not now, if I wash it the night before I have to spend a half hour blow drying, flat ironing, and styling. It's a pain in the ass. I am going to have to find ways to style it I've never been good with hair. My mom died when I was 5 and I had no sisters to teach me how to style it and all that good stuff. But today is as good as any to learn.

I feel a LOT better today! My allergies are practically nonexistent so I am very happy about that. I took some zyrtec last night man that stuff works miracles! I had horrible allergies that were killing me I was miserable, and I took everything from benedril to claritin and nothing worked but zyrtec. I will definitely recommend this stuff to anyone with allergies that can't seem to get relief. I'm also on a z-pack for my bronchitis but I haven't had any affects from that yet.

I went to bed at 11:30pm last night that is amazing for me I never ever go to bed that early. But I am still a bit tired this morning, I've been up for 2 hours already and I am starting to drag a bit. So I'm eating some Life cereal for breakfast trying to get energy. I need to get my butt on a diet! I'm a habitual snacker especially at night and it is hard to break that habit. This morning I had 2 glasses of OJ a fruit snack and cereal with milk, see what I mean? But to my defense at least I did have fruit, healthy cereal, and milk. I also took the dog out for a 20 minute walk so I'm happy about that. I'm going to make sure I exercise at least an hour a day and cut down on that snacking or at least substitute it for healthy stuff. Wish me luck!

New hair cut and other stuff



I cut my hair today I needed a change and I mean I CUT my hair. I cut off enough to be able to donate my hair to charity. Here's a pic for you to look at the difference. Okay so the other pic my hair was a lot shorter then it was when I cut it (also it was 3am and I think I look good for 3am).

So I have been trying to kind of make myself over a bit I need a change in my life. I need a boost I guess. I normally wear older clothes and try to make them last as long as possible. I don't cut my hair or get any of that salon stuff done to myself anymore either. So I went out and bought the stuff to do my own nails and I'm trying to learn to do my own eyebrows and now my hairs cut. Next I need to get a couple new pieces of clothing to pretty myself up a bit. I need to get a bit healthier and lose some weight I'm up to a weight that I haven't been at forever and I DON'T like it. I need to get my butt in gear and start working out and eating a bit healthier.

So I went to the doctor today and he told me I have bronchitis and severe allergies that have caused a inner ear infection. Fun stuff! So now I'm all doped up on allergy medicine and antibiotics lol. I had to wait 2 and a half hours at the doctors to find this out which I already knew since I told him I need a Z Pack for bronchitis and a ear infection lol. He gave me a Z Pack for those things so ain't I good??? Well I'm off to bed I need to sleep these meds off. Nighty night!

So Sick

I am soooooo sick! My son gave me a bout of the flu and I feel like my body is going to crumble if I touch it. My dog hasn't seemed to got that memo since he keeps jumping on me wanting me to do this or that. I don't want to work but I have to and I'm not too happy about it.

This morning I woke up in such a rotten mood I didn't want to move, every bone in my body hurt and I had to do a ton of crap. Just walking the dog felt like I was pulling a tractor trailer down the sidewalk. Then of course right after I get back from walking my dog and I'm fighting with my son to get up my dog pisses on the floor even though I JUST brought him out and he peed outside, pissed me off so bad. Then I had to bring Lex to school and go straight to work to be pulled down stairs by 2 huge pit bulls I wanted to die at that exact moment. My arm felt like it was just going to detach and run away. Right now just walking is a task so being pulled by 2 pits who have NO manners is just exhausting. Finally I got back home and was able to rest for a bit and talk to the hubby.

I don't get why my immune system is so weak, I get sick if I am within a 5 mile radius of someone who sneezes I will get pneumonia. My son had this 1st and he was home from school hacking up his lungs with a fever of 103.2 I knew at that moment I was done for the next week. We took him to the ER even though I was totally against it but between my brother and Bry I was out numbered. At the ER we watched a guy die in the waiting room yup that is right code blue nurses running doctors coming die. Then found out they lost my sons chart yeah so much for HIPPA laws right. And waiting over 3 hours in the waiting room. I was done and went home. And guess what he was totally fine the next morning, running, jumping, playing, wanting to go out fine. Can you guess how I felt? Yeah that is right I woke up sick as a dog. So my son passed his germs onto me and feels fine after, he was sick 3 days my it's already been 3 days and I still feel like crap.

I watched this really cool movie today you should check it out it's called, We Live In Public. It's about a guy named Josh who pretty much so started the dot com era and his life and how technology affects your life. It was very interesting and kind of fucked up all in one. The "experiments" he does with people kind of seem cruel but then if you think about it we do it daily with reality TV, YouTube, Facebook and Myspace. I am a pretty private person even though I do have a FB, Myspace, and Blog I only write certain things and mostly keep to myself. I don't see how someone has the need to be famous or broadcast their lives to the world, some people have this craving to be seen and gauge their self worth on how many FB "friends" they have or how many views they got on YouTube. I just can't live like that. I live for experiences and relationships and try to take breaks from the computer and TV. I don't want to live my life looking at a screen, weather it be my phone, TV, or a PC.

Well I am off I need to rest to get myself better.

Good & Bad. How bout you?

Wow business is doing very well and I'm soooo happy! I love getting new clients and it means the bills get paid hahahaa. The great thing is I got two regulars so it's a steady income. We've been doing a bunch of marketing and added a new service. I'm looking forward to getting all my new marketing stuff in the mail I am excited to see how it looks. Tonight we all went for a walk and took the dog with us and did some door to door marketing putting fliers on doors, I enjoy doing that with the family and it gives us all exercise.

I've had a bad bout of insomnia lately it's driving me nuts because I'm late for my mornings and I have to start my day in a huge rush. I will be tired around 6-7 then i get this burst of energy at around 10 and I will take my sleeping meds at 11 and then try to go to bed by 1 but I will lay in bed for hours on end then my alarm doesn't wake me up. It doesn't matter what time I get up I still can't sleep at night. I wish I could see my doctor but since my country is so great and charges me 500 a month for insurance I can't afford it so I don't feel like spending 120 bucks to see a doctor if I'm not dieing.

I went and bought a ton of new stuff for our office yesterday. I actually had a lot of fun picking everything out, it was the first time in awhile I had fun shopping. I use to love shopping but now I'm so worried about every cent I spend that I can't enjoy it. I've put us a budget and I follow it religiously but my husband well that is another story. He just doesn't get that we actually NEED to save money not blow every cent. I thought getting him more involved in the finances was going to help but it didn't. Then I thought getting him his own bank acct was going to help since he could see where he spent all the money but nope. I am kind of at my wits end over the money battle in my house.

Well I'm off to read my training books and then go to bed. Have a great Tuesday!

Greetings

My first post! Well let's start off by introducing myself I'm Mindy, I'm a young women that is a mom and a wife and I own a animal care company. My life is pretty hectic and filled with tons of crazy things between, my son, my husband, crazy family, and the pets I care for not to mention my own pets.

Well I have decided to go for my dog training certification but damn is this hard, there is no real schooling for it and it's pretty much learn as you go. So I've been reading every article I possibly can and talking to other trainers. I'm hoping to get a trainer to let me apprentice under them, but I hate asking for things like that. It sucks because I am flat broke at the moment and I really want a couple of books to help me learn the ropes, maybe I can sign a new client and get some cash coming in.

This week has been kind of hectic, it has been busy at work (I'm not complaining) we have had tons of events and occasions and Brian even raced a Indy car this week. I am pretty tired and my heads killing me, I'm just glad it's Saturday and I can relax a bit. Monday I need to meet with my sons teacher to discuss his failing reading and writing grades boy will that be fun. I don't get it I have been busting my butt to get those grades up and it just isn't working. We went to Sylvan what a bunch of rip off assholes! They wanted me to spend 10 grand to get him up to speed are you joking me??? I can't even fathom spending that on a grade when people are losing their homes, and their jobs and people are starving it's just crazy to me.

Well anywho it's 11:30 and I'm tired off to bed.
