Last night was basket bingo for the army family team building. I don't really like bingo but they promised a good turn out of people so I decided to go to promote my business. The way it works is I put a basket of stuff together that they gave away and then I could have a table at the back.
As I type it souds stupid but I really was set up nice and the turnout was awesome. My babysitter bailed on me. This is the first time in 6 months I have gotten a sitter down here and may be the last time. I have to admit I was very frustrated and mad about the situation. Should I not be doing this? I decided that I should be doing this for my family and got on the phone to a couple girls from church. I found one at 4:00 and said I needed her at 5:00. Her mom dropped her off a little late, but who cares, she came!!
I went and seriously was so excited to go somewhere by myself. When I got out of the car I still unlocked the doors and went to get people out. ( habit I guess)
Got to basket bingo and there were a ton of people lined up at my table in the back. The USAA guy was there and offered me a promoting job (what is the deal with job offers lately). I politely told him maybe (seriously!!) and went to tend to customers.
I had a blast!!! I got 60 customer referrals and some sales. I booked 5 shows and have 2 new team members. Mostly uppercase living because it is so new and exciting but a couple Mary Kay which is my real passion. Again got reconfirmed that I am really good with people. I love it.
I had really let myself relax and was proud of myself for that until I came home and found out the Cera had puked ON the babysitter. She just said that it was fine, but I have a feeling she may not come back. The kids were well behaved but she had to clean up puke, so we will see. I have some more appts these next coming weeks that require me to get a sitter so I am getting on that this morning.
Anyway, basket bingo was a hit and leaving the kids was the cherry on top!!

Holy Cow! That sounds really successfull. I'm glad you had a good time. Hopefully you can find a babysitter that like puke. keep up the good work!
AT least if she does come back, you should be pretty safe that she won't encounter anything much worse! Sounds like a lot of fun - that uppercase living is so cute, so in markets wbere they don't have it yet, I can see how it would be popular! What is the deal with all the job offers - I got a job offer from a temp agency once to stand on a corner holding one of those lame signs to get people's attention - not exactly high quality...impressive!
