Well, life has been crazy busy (as for most of us, and Janet in particular!) but I wanted to give a quick up-date.
Monday was my 90th day, and I managed to turn in a cat. show for my dentists office, along with an order from my neighbour (who I LOVE) and so I just squeaked in to hit $5000 in comm. sales in 90 days - so I got an extra $150 in PC$. Which brings my total PC$ for my first 90 days to...
... $750!!!
I had 14 shows, which isn't too bad considering I was away alot and had at least 3 hosts change dates at short enough notice that I couldn't book their old dates. I also had ALOT of help from friends and family getting shows. Oh, and in June I earned the $1500 SAT level and got the pumkpin dish for July. I have to admit that getting bookings has been a bit challenging, and like many of you I need to get on the phone more (especially after getting machines...).
Yesterday I got my (first) 90 KE order - how awesome, I spent $205 and got SO MUCH STUFF!! I also spent alot on supplies though, and some samples. My kitchen needs major re-organisation to fit all my new stuff! Oh, and today I am going to get my 12" exec skillet that I got for 60% off - woo-hoo!! I decided to use some of my hard earned commission to get that, and the knife set at 60% in August.
And talking of commission - yesterday DH and I just ordered a lap-top for me to use at shows, although we will use it alot for other things too (our old one is 10yrs old and just about completely obsolete). After those splurges I will be using my commission to pay off our car loan faster, which I am also very excited about.
And on a non-PC note, my DD is doing way better at Kindergarten - finally last week on Thursday she got on the school bus with no tears - thanks for all your prayers (and thanks Kacey for asking
). She still varies between seeming to really enjoy it, and saying she doesn't want to go though. Yesterday was my DS's first day of pre-school (another mile-stone!) and she came too (he goes pm, her K is am) and I think she was a bit sad that she doesn't go there anymore. DS had fun, I don't think we will have any problems with him adjusting, especially as his teacher is DD's old one, who he has met tons of times.
And finally, a quick prayer request for all of us to get some good sleep and get healthy! Abbie is getting over a cold, Luke is in the middle of a heavy cold, and Chloe has just got it too and is really stuffed up. She has been waking in the night because she can't suck her thumb to self sooth!! The older kids were up in the night alot because of a storm Monday night and then woke up really early, and both seem so tired. Not a good combination for school (with their colds). I really don't want either of them to have to miss any school, Luke because he is just starting, and Abbie, because I think it will set her back for liking kindergarten if she gets to be home for a few days. Alsp please pray that she will start to really like kindergarten and make some good friends there. Thanks so much!!
Sorry this is so long, and thanks for all of your help and support getting me this far with my business! I so wish I could meet you all in person!
