Trying Something New

This has been a Month of growth and change. Had a birthday on the 9th, Thank you for the well wishes and cards. Severed myself from the company that I had worked for almost 8 years total ( and really that was maybe a year too long). So I thought why not try to keep a blog that helps to track my progress for at least 30 days. So at least every night I am going to post about the days events and try to record the ups and downs of raising 6 kids in my home, operating 2 businesses, being the President of the Desert Edge High School Football Booster Club, and above all else trying to be the best Husband I can be. Not an easy task but I'm sure in the Pre-Existance I signed up for the trials in my life with glee. So here it goes.

Today Sandy and I got to sleep in until 6:40am, then I got the kids up and off to school. After that I went to the Dr.'s office for a check up and found out I'm still overweight but it is getting better. Ya think? When I got home, Chloe, our beautiful 18 month old, Sandy and I went to the beauty supply store in Phoenix. Got home just in time to get Chloe dressed, and then I got to Posting ads. Love that part of my day. Then after that I put a sign up on my newest listing a great House in Goodyear, $895 per month, 2 weeks Free rent if you move in by Saturday, October 1st. I showed it already today and it is a really clean and well designed 3/2 unit. All appliances included, even Washer and Dryer. When I got back I put Chloe down for a nap. she loves to help me with my business deals, but they wear her out. While she was sleeping Sandy and I decided to REALLY CHALLENGE OURSELVES!

How  you ask, NO TV! Because we both just need to do a better job of focusing on what matters, Family, Business, Church, Not Housewives and Crime Dramas! So we made a simple wager and when Chloe was asleep, guess what, we cleaned instead of sitting in front of the boob tube! Not deep cleaning but it was really nice to have a surface that was picked up. then I folded laundry and we decided to go out for $0.59 tacos for lunch. I Heart Deals! After lunch Sandy was ready for a nap, So She did that and I posted more Ads. Updated a lease for a friend, and did not watch TV. At 2 I picked up Noah from School, As well as the 2 neighbor kids. they came over so their dad could sleep also. I made Nachos and let them play superheros

Not from today but you get the idea

in the back room with out any TV. Awesome too see and hear them use their imaginations. Before too long it was time for Justin to get home and then the home work started, then the neighbors went home at 4ish and Sandy had another appt over. I picked up Tyler from Football practice and dropped off Derek at his house on the way home. He is a nice kid, and a really good football player. After which I took the little boys to Lorin's game, she won and played fairly well. It's fun to see her progress. Sandy got there after her Appointment and we took the kids to Taco Bell for more $0.59 tacos. really fed the whole family for $13, great deal.

So that was my Tuesday, No TV but My house is Cleaner, my kids are fed, and I get to go to bed early with my wife. New isn't always better, But today was new, and it was a much better day!
