Motivation

Motivation, this is one thing I am seriously lacking these days. I am so exhausted beyond belief I can't even think about moving forward- which is exactly what I need to do. Baby Half Off has grown and grown and hit a plateau. We are looking for that push to get us going up to the next growth spurt. I am constantly thinking of what to do to get us there but its as if all creativity has drained from my brain. Life has become a cycle. I get up, chase my crazy little bean around the house. Kiss my husband good-bye and we go to work. There I check my email, make my pages and try to keep my eyes open long enough to make it through the day. When I get home I try to finish my work while again chasing Taycee around. I am too tired to think about anything but her, Seth and my pages. Now we are adding in the extra exhaustion from this little baby... I am just ready to crash. Crash hard and sleep for days. I want to spend the next week laying in bed and not have to look at a laptop or a webpage or even facebook.

So how do I wake up and get my creative juices flowing? How do I create the motivation to grow my business into what we hope it can become?

Don't get me wrong I love my life, for the most part. I love my sweet and obnoxious husband. I love my crazy screaming happy dancing Taycee. I love this unborn little baby and hope he/she is just as fun and adorable as the first. I am extremely grateful for what my business has become and the potential it has. I see exciting things in my future. I am just so..... tired.....! I need a break and I need it now! Unfortunately I now know any break I will get will not be 100% freedom. No matter where I go or what I do BHO is on the brain. I obsessively check facebook, website sales and emails. I can't not look it up. I can't get the thoughts of BHO out of my head, yet I can't think of ways to help us unstick....

Just gotta keep looking forward to tomorrow..

New Car!!

My baby is growing up so fast. Seems like she went straight from walking to running! She follows me all over the house and has to do everything I do. when i blow dry my hair, i have to blow hers too. When i put lotion on, she has to have lotion on. Its so cute the way she copies me.

She has also started talking, or at least she thinks so. She blabs on and on non stop, if only I could understand a word she is saying. She does pick up some things. "Uh oh" seems to be a favorite. Everytime she drops something she chants it over and over. Then looks at me and gives me a big squinty smile.

I am seriously so blessed to have such and amazingly adorable little girl. I wish she would just stop growing and be my sweet cuddly baby forever!

As far as updates in our life... we have a big one! We got a new car! We were finally able to get the Nissan Pathfinder and I have been wanting for a long time. Its sparkly grey, with a 6 disk cd player, moon roof and tons and tons of room, for whatever life brings us! Best part is... we finally got rid of that lemon impala. It was a little sad to see it go, we've had it for 4 years, but such a HUGE relief that I don't have to waste any more money on the thing. I am absolutely loving my new car.
