6 days and counting....

Our National Conference starts in exactly 1 week from today. As a WAHM of 3 and a leader within my direct selling organization, I have a ton to do before I leave on Wednesday for Toronto.

On the home front, my house is busy all the time. Add to this the lead up to get the family ready for my absence and I'm running like a turkey. It's odd to me that my husband goes away for days at a time but does nothing but pack his bags and hop on a plane. I wish it were that easy for me. Although I love to come home to my family, I don't relish the thought of an empty fridge and the piles of laundry that will be waiting for me when I return after 5 days of networking, learning, socializing and reconnecting with friends that I have made at Conference over the last 3 years. This year I vow to be smarter about it. There will be a lasagna and a casserole strategically hidden at the bottom of the freezer so that when I get back the mad dash to go to the grocery store, because the family has eaten everything in sight, will not be necessary. As far as the laundry goes....well, I honestly would prefer if my hubby steered clear because laundry is not his forte (if you know what I mean).

Business-wise, I have a party tonight..the order will go into tomorrow..and will subsequently arrive on my front door while I'm away. This can't be helped as it is the end of the month and we have a fantastic customer promo on right now otherwise I would have entered the show Monday so that I'm home when it comes in. Between now and when I leave I also have some prepping to do as there will be 10 from my success line attending conference this year and I couldn't be more thrilled. Last year, we had 4 and the year prior 2. So it seems to me that attendance from my success line is doubling every year...can I get 20 there next year? That would be awesome.

I've started this blog so I can describe the conference experience as it's happening for my team. I'm so looking forward to conference as I do every year.
