Took a much needed mental break and cleared park of the hillside.

Scheduled haircut. Spoke to friend about hauling off a bunch of his manure to fill holes in my yard and make beds for planting.

Worked on my new business cards. Plain Jane but something to hand out that shouldn’t cost a fortune to print.

Lunch time. Bad time for cold calls. So time to shift focus. First, schedule haircut.

Must decide:

a) online job searching, monster etc

b) make new business card

c) draft letter to businesses that want info

d) draft marketing flyer

e) plan list of calls to make on my referral network

f) get fancied up and visit some temp agencies

I really hate cold calls.

After a strong negative, I got a positive on a cold call. Now to consider my sales closing skills as I could have handled this better.

A New Day!

This Morning

My wife chose to sleep on the couch last night. I will take my turn on the couch tonight so she can get a good night’s rest.

Made some cold calls trying to generate sales for a content management system which would result in monthly residual income. Took an hour for lunch..more than intended but a WWII movie was on! Picked up Noah from his friends and confirmed that my charges for virus and ad removal are on target.

Now its time to make more phone calls.

Cold calling scares the dickens out of me sometimes but once I get started I really enjoy it. I’ve picked a potentially good place to start and am not getting cold shouldered on these calls.

Amy decided to sit down at the kitchen table and help build the 550 piece glow in the dark puzzle that the family is working on.

I really want to take the kids to a park. I want to give Amy more educational stimulation. I want Tommy to have more social interaction. I want Noah to be around “normal” boys and play baseball and try other sports. I want Sarah to have more one on one time with her Mom.

Climbing into her high chair her foot gets caught in the seat belt and Amy says “Baby ‘tuck!”

Then as I sit in front of Cathy’s computer Amy says “Mama ????” I reply “Mama asleep” More assertively Amy says “Mama ?????” and I said “Mama asleep” Then I finally understand “Mama CHAIR!” and reply with “Yes, I am sitting in Mama’s chair.”

Now she’s identifying “My feet” and requesting “Bite Dada Bite” because she wants me to quit typing and eat my breakfast.

A New Day!

This Morning

Woke at 6 and 6:30 but didn’t get out of bed until 7:20. Refreshed and ready to go!

My goal was to start making sales calls 20 minutes ago. Instead I’m enjoying some time with Amy. We are eating breakfast together. I overpoured the syrup on her waffles so she’ll be a sticky mess. Sink bath!

I’ll start my calls at 9.

Last Night

I cleaned all the lip gloss from the tub. Got some hard soap scum removed too! Also cleaned the lip gloss from the giant stuffed animal dog. Goof Off is powerful stuff!
