I don`t know how you do it nikole! Lack of sleep is just not a possibility for me. I don`t miss the months of sleep deprivation when my kids were little and I can`t imagine how you actually manage to get work done. I NEED at least 7 hours of sleep every night, or I`m in a fog.

Ok...I give myself permission to go on vacation for the next 5 days, even though I`m anxious just thinking about it! I will have my cell and laptop with me, but I`m really going to try not to do to much...just lay on the beach and spend some QT with my kids and the hubby. Why is it so hard???

Just have a good time! If we don`t take care of ourselves we will eventually burn out. I excuse myself from that sometimes, figure why i am young i will bust my butt. I did cxl my vacation in June...i hope and pray I get to get some time off maybe next winter. Nikole. I work better in the late hours too. My friend asks me to meet her at the gym at 6:30 am. I just can`t. Used to go at 6 am  and i felt better going to bed at 11 and getting up at 5..but i always seem to work so late. The phone is not ringing, everyone is in bed etc... no distractions. Now i use the NO Time excuse for not getting a decent workout. My friend said i should go at midnight since i am up..........yeah right. I do plan on scheduling in moreme time this week.It is not easy keeping up with business and personal stuff.

Gym? As if. I have a stroller and 2 feet - who needs a gym? I just stopped driving ... I walk to the store almost daily. Eventually I`ll slow down. Right now I`m on a mission!

Melissa - And I don`t even drink coffee! Have fun on vacation though - I`d be a horrible vacationer too! We`re service-based though ... it`s a little harder. No work = no money!

stonesledge - This is true...and I keep reminding myself that this is my only break for a while. I`m hoping to be very busy when my shipment of product comes in. If anything, I might write my press release on the beach though.

nikole - I hear ya. It`s very hard for me to sit still too. But if I have a pen and a pad, I can still jot down ideas and lists of things I need to do. That way I still feel like I`m accomplishing something. The majority of the trip will be spent playing with my kids though. Can`t wait to make sand castles!

Have fun! Make a sandcastle for us!!

Nikole, i hear ya...sometimes i wonder why i locked myself into a 3 yesr contract. I have a treadmill and plenty of driveway. My driveway is about 1000 feet and is very very steep, i should just go up and down 10 times and that would do the trick.
