The terrible 2's happening at 4?????

So I got to thinking today about the balancing act it takes to combine being a mum, with taking care of your little people, combined with looking after hubby (which often times substitutes for child #3!) plus adding in your own work, hobbies, interests and anything else you may like to do with your time... Since starting Zimmer & Jee I find numerous times a day I'm taking phonecalls or doing little bits and pieces on the computer....and suddenly it seems little Mr 4years has turned into the devil child. Is this just an age based thing, or is it because my time is that little bit shorter these days? Being difficult for the sake of it - anything I ask is greeted with "no" and stomping off to the bedroom, multiple toy throwings and screetching "i not like you anymore". I've taken away tv, favourite toys, favourite foods, done time out in the bathroom...nothing seems to be working. Plus little "mr clever" seems to have worked out that saying sorry make mummy happy...he creeps up so cuddly, says sorry, then asks for his toys back! Arghhhhhh So my task this week is to work out if this is a phase or something else, and work out a way to deal with it...whist keeping tabs on the website of course!

About new lines - exciting and busy times!

Well, today was a learning curve!

Here's me, a fairly computer savvy person, proficient in many programs from working in corporate marketing for so many years. Purchased a self administered website for my business thinking, "with my experience, managing that will be a piece of cake"....well that wasn't exactly so...

Firstly, the winter range from french designer Absorba arrived Friday. So exciting!!! Nothing better than pulling out gorgeous garment after gorgeous garment....even hubby overlooking the process was full of appreciative "mmm's" and "ahhh's" plus the occassional "keep that one for bub"!

After that fun bit...hit the first bump. Stock image disk that came with the clothing wouldn't work. Would take a week to get a new one, and who wants to wait that long? Not me. So in my wisdom I started photographing the stock myself - I have a top camera, good software, funky tripod thingy, so let's give it try...hmmmmm

The first lot of images wouldn't upload. Not happy, but try again. Second round of images wouldn't upload either...there goes Saturday....

Worked out I needed to resize the pixels to a smaller image size so they'd upload - success!!!!! Until a slip of the hand hit the delete button and whoops, there goes my home page into the internet abyss. Oh boy....

After a lot of fiddling around managed to retreive the home page (yeah!) plus manage to upload reasonable photos for Absorba stock and get some inventory loaded. So all in all, the weekend ended on a successful note.

But note to self, once business has really taken off, employ someone else to adminster the website!!!!
