Well, I definitely love them but they are keeping my attention away from blogging.
Today it was a very difficult day. Husband had to go to ER due to a gout crises. He was medicated but forgo to take him again to tell that he is allergic to Aspirin, so 1 hour after taking the meds he started an allergic reaction and I had to ER. He had to me medicated against the allergy and the doctor gave him a muscle relaxant. Well, I can say he is better now and he has been sleeping since 3pm and it is 00.12am now.
So, the time I spent on the computer was to check my inbox, check facebook alerts, check twitter and NO blogging. Well, I wrote this post.
I have to catch up with blogging tomorrow, let’s see if nothing else happens.
I’m full time at home, jobless and now what?
I confess that I’m living the dream of my life, no full time job, I’m doing the house chores, taking and picking up my kids at school, be with them more time. This also means I have no income, at least for now so I should be worried but, I am not worry, I’m happy, I’m living my dream. Full Time Mom and Housewife.
But I want to work, I like to work but…doing the work I like, not an imposed one just to have a income at the end of the month. I want to enjoy my job. I like to be a blogger, I like to write and I want to continue doing that. If I can earn some money on that journey the better.
This last few days I’ve been increasing my online presence. I started using Facebook more (amazing), I now have fan pages for my blogs (Soleflor Mom and Have a Better Life) , I joined Linked In, I joined The Product Review Place, I’m using Hootsuite and I guess a few more, I’m losing track of everything wish leads me to a new problem: Time Management.
Having a different life style made me lose track of everything. What comes first:
I’m confused and I really need to organize myself. I guess Time Management is a priority right now.
How do you keep track of your tasks, appointments, shopping, etc.? I don’t have a iphone or other advanced gadget to introduce that information. So, do you put it on paper, on Google Calendar, Post-its ??
I apologise for my silence on this blog. I had a difficult week, with many out of the house tasks to do for me and my parents. Things with my (quit) job are rolling slowly, it is how things go with this type cases. It will end in court for sure but there are a lot of letters and papers to take care before and this week was really busy around that subject.
Many friends call me and message me to now how I am doing with all the medication I’m taking and how the job process is going and that also makes me waste a lot of time. However it is good to know that people care and want to be informed about the process.
Talking about the “job problem” all the the time does me no good because I revive the whole problem and it hurts. But I keep going.
My next post will be Time Management titled. It is already in draft but I need to finish it. I will need some ideas from you then. Tomorrow or Monday it will be online.
Meanwhile, participate on my Giveaway for a FREE membership to Big Universe (see previous post for details)
CLOSED
I was recently offered the opportunity to try the BigUniverse.com website and I want to share with you my experience and offer a lucky winner the opportunity to try it too.
Big Universe is about Read, Create and Share Children’s Books Online.
Site Overview:
BigUniverse.com is an award-winning education website for grades K-8. This engaging web community uses beautiful picture books to instill the love of reading, writing and learning, while providing an anywhere-anytime, standards-based, education resource that connects teachers, students and parents.
Our products and features include:
- Big Universe Reader™ – Read hundreds of fiction and nonfiction children’s books from today’s best publishers and take optional quizzes to assess comprehension.
- Big Universe Author™ – Create, print & publish animated e-books using an easy-to-use writing tool and 7000+ images.
- Big Universe Community™ – Safely share your bookshelf, recommendations and published books with your peers only or thousands of other members.
First we create our profile and we can choose an avatar for our image. Avatars are interesting, funny and can express what we are. Then we can go to the Read tab where we have available 1296 (until today) children’s books to read and learn from. The books have amazing illustrations, they are attractive and they tell interesting stories that children will love. The navigation method is very easy to use and the kids have the ability to take as long as they want to read the book. Some books have related quizzes available so that children can test if they captured all the information they read in the book.
Books can be added to the personal bookshelf to be find easily later on. Books can be shared with friends that you and your children add to their profile, so that your friends are updated with what you are reading. You can also recommend a book to a friend so he can enjoy a book you liked.
A great feature is to create books online. We have thousands of images to choose from, different subjects, backgrounds, themes so that we can write the book we have been dreaming for. Imagine you have a girl who loves princess stories, you can create a story at her image and she will get the book she wanted, created especially for her. If she wants she can then share the book with her friends to show her creation.
This is a great experience for children and adults (parents, teachers) and I would like to share with you how wonderful this website is.
Big Universe will offer one of my readers a free 6 month premium home membership so that you can join Big Universe and take part of this huge and grateful experience of reading, creating and sharing children’s books online.
You can participate in several ways and all I ask is that you leave one comment for each entry you make.
