Simons Says: End of the Weekend Already?!

Why does it seem like the weekend is over the minute is starts? Does anyone else feel that way? I feel like it was just Friday at 5:00, time to start the weekend, and now it's Sunday, 3:15, time to end the weekend...or is it? NO WAY, Jose! Well, sort of. :-)

Robert Alan just went down for his nap, which means he'll be up in about 1.5-2 hours. That gives me some time to mindlessly peruse the internet, Pinterest, Facebook, blog, you know--very productive things! Then, when he wakes up, I plan to make a little wine spritzer and sit by the pool while he swims. Then, we'll cook hamburgers, and then bedtime for bonzos! It'll turn out to be a pretty fun day, so why am I still dreading tomorrow??

I'm uncomfortable with this feeling. I don't like it. I want to look forward to Mondays like I used to. I have a feeling I'm about to start looking forward to them again pretty soon, but in the meantime, I feel....lazy? Ho-hum--that's a better word for it! There's no excitement any more. Therefore, I spend time looking at Pinterest boards about being a SAHM (Stay-At-Home-Mom, I've learned), home-schooling kids, and decorating houses. Will I ever do any of it? Not likely. Or is that what's depressing me? The fact that I won't get to do it? Or won't let myself do it? I've always seen myself as career-driven, and now, with changes on the horizon, I feel myself more and more wanting to give all that up in exchange for the life that is a SAHM. But would I be happy? I wasn't happy during maternity leave...wait, not that I wasn't happy, but I couldn't wait to get back to work. I wonder if it would be different now. Would I dread going back to work if I was on maternity leave? I have a feeling that's the case. Unfortunately.

So what am I going to do about it? Nothing, at this point. I'll go to work tomorrow. I'll call my reps. I'll help them with whatever they need. I'll continue to recruit. I'll continue to turn in reports. And I'll do it all really well. I really will. I can't do anything less than my best. It's not in me. However, I'm almost done. I think it should be a sign that 3 years ago, I couldn't wait to get back to work, and now, I don't want to go back.

I DO, however, have something up my sleeve. Something that DOES get me excited. Something I wish I could all day every day but can't because I have my "real job" and owe everything I have--all my effort, all my energy, all my brainpower--to it during work hours. So, I have to put off doing what I really enjoy doing right now until late at night or on the weekends. That's okay, though. I know everything I'm doing now will pay dividends later, both with my "real job" and with this other gig. "What is it?" you ask. What am I doing that's making me excited?

Well, check out my facebook page and throw me a "like," if you don't mind: www.facebook.com/SKINteresting. I've partnered with the Doctors who created Proactiv to share their anti-aging skincare products AND offer people a chance to join in. The company is only 5 years old, and we're already making HUGE waves in both the skincare industry and the direct sales industry. The Doctors changed the way infomercials were perceived, and NOW they're going to do it with direct sales.

If you're interested in learning more, feel free to contact me either via my Facebook page, or via my business website: http://tsimons.myrandf.biz.

So, I'm off to work on this business of mine! I can't wait--I'm more excited than I've been in almost 2 years. I can't wait to see what this does for my family and those who join the business with me. I also can't wait to see my customers' confidence in their skin skyrocket as they go "Foundation Free!"

Here's a quick video of the Doctors explaining WHY they took a BEST SELLING product at Nordstrom's and Neiman's and turned it into a direct selling company (since I can't figure out how to write the HTML code correctly to make this object bigger in the post, you have to scroll down to push PLAY and then scroll over to make the video bigger...sorry!. If you don't want to mess with it, that's fine. Here's the link if you're interested...so much for making it easy for you!: Business Opportunity video link

And here's a video of the AMAZING results these products produce (same dang thing on this one...ugh): Regimen Results video link

Now do you see why I'm so excited to be a part of this? And you don't even know about the TOOL I get to sell! I'll talk to y'all later!

Oh, and just so you don't miss out on how big and FUN Robert Alan is now, here are a few pictures...
