NEW YEAR, 2ND MONTH AND I AM ALREADY A MONTH BEHIND ON MY PLAN!  WIFE, MOM, REALTOR - I KNOW WHAT I NEED TO DO, I EVEN KNOW HOW TO DO IT, THEN, life happens!  Sickness, first one husband, then a child and the next child, are you kidding me even the DOGS!

I am attempting to make calls, while in the background you here, "Honey, can you get me....???" 

I try my best to focus on the important client call: then, I  hear another Louder call,  "Mommmmy????!" (my teenagers,  are texting me while I am trying to talk with my client.  Then the final straw...MOOOMMMMMYY I AM GOING TO ...........(VerySick noises!)...!!!   Ok!!!  I quickly get off the phone with my client, change out of my work clothes, change my schedule for the day, and now I get to clean up messes?! 

How am I every going to make my month - Well, January I didn't, and into February I am not because now I am SICK!!! 

So has anyone else had a year like this?   

Here is my solution....Keep your sense of humor!

Most of my clients know me, so I simple call and explain my situation, and I do not want to spread it  to them.  Most people appreciate that. We do what we can over the internet, which is most of the transaction in our technological age.  I schedule appointments and follow up with my Buyer's to the best of my ability between taking care of all the sickies.

If I have showings scheduled,  I will explain what the situation is at my house and ask if they would like to go with one of my team mates or reschedule with me for the near future.  Most people are very nice. 

So I will keep my sense of humor, rework my plan and I still will shoot the moon while I aim for the stars!!

I hope Health, Wealth and lots of laughter to you all!

Darla,

You're right, just keep the healthy humorous perspective. Here in Virginia we've been dealing with an inordinate amount of snow. Suddenly everything is put on hold. Also, I've come the conclusion that snow days is God's way of punishing us for having children.
