Time Passages

Boy, I tell ya...time sure has a way of flyin' on by...can't believe it's been two months since I last posted here. I have really been involved with lots of business and personal stuff!


My team has grown and needs daily involvement for ME to also grow and prosper along with them. If you haven't visited my team site, you might want to wander off for a moment over there and look around at how we work together from all over the country (and in other countries, too) and have a profitable home business offering value to moms, dads, boomers, retirees, students, and just about anyone!


We are still adding on to my house for my parents' benefit...they get to move in with me (only child and all that). YIPPEE! After considering that for awhile, I re-planned the new addition to hopefully give me more of a private space. After all...being a "boomer" gal...kids are grown and have their own lives and hubby and I have been alone for quite awhile with only the "doglets" as company. Mommy and Daddy moving back in is a shock to the system, and the stories I have heard from others prompted me to find the best solution and floor plan to create separate spaces.


By the way, I researched and tried to find some other way to make Mom and Dad (mine) happy, healthy, and safe. I have considered all sorts of options like nursing homes (WOW, are those expensive or what?!?), but the parents really don't need nursing. They are healthy, just not mentally able to handle the day-to-day cooking, cleaning, dressing, finances, etc. I am blessed with their health, though. How about a retirement center? Well, not just expensive, but they don't offer the sort of care they need. OK. So, I compromised and have them now with a home care company that pretty much supplies maids and companions that cook, etc. Still, pretty expensive stuff.


I also have a girlfriend that goes in and cleans and cooks for a day or two each week. I tell you, though...both of these options that I am currently using are also a real budget strain. With running two home businesses, it doesn't leave ME the time I need to run over there constantly, and the solutions I have put in place just aren't feasible in the long term.


SO...I digress. I am building on. Still. Have barely broken ground. They were supposed to BE here by now, and I am stuck with a lake of water (thanks to the Oklahoma floods this year) and muddy backyard that my pooches can't even use...more on my adventure soon if I EVER get this project off the ground...or in the ground...or grounded...or anything!
