Week 9-Small Business Creation

This has been a whirlwind week. I tried to get as many assignments done before Tuesday as I could but this class was too heavily weighted on Saturday (Monday). I have everything done except the write up for the interview. I'll get that done before Monday morning deadline but I'm too tired tonight to do a good job. I have to decide if I feel okay about doing it on Sunday since it's only one assignment for the week. I got everything else done even though I was gone Tuesday and Wednesday with my husband, substituted at the middle school on Thursday and was gone again Friday and Saturday. I'm actually 3 and a half hours from home right now.

Catherine Rohr was an interesting lady. She made me ponder my attitudes toward people. As I was leaving town yesterday, I was fueling my car and a man was all of a sudden by me. He told me he was begging for food or for gas. My first instinct was to tell him no because of all the scammers around that beg. He walked off but then I thought about a chocolate milk I had just bought for myself. I could have given him that since I hadn't opened it. I couldn't see where he went and have felt guilty all weekend because I didn't help him because of my attitude towards the scammers doing the same thing he was doing.

I loved the story of Burt's Bees. That is so expensive and I haven't bought any of it. We have had a couple hives of bees (both died out over the winters) which made me more interested in her story. She took a pile of discarded beeswax and became a millionaire. Amazing!

I haven't gotten to sew anything although I had good intentions of sewing while I'm visiting my son and daughter-in-law but as usual the other assignments took priority. I came to Utah to go to Time Out for Women with her. It was a present for my birthday, Mother's Day and probably Christmas. While we were enjoying the presentations I was able to crochet the tops on two towels. Four down 12 to go on the first round of supplies. I will have to devote some time next week to sewing. I keep saying that and the days and weeks just keep ticking by.
