Publishing three newsletters: 1) I must finish that article I started for Newbie & Affiliate SOS Newsletter and getrepparttar newsletter ready for publication. It has to go out Thurs. 2) I have to work on SOS Classified. It goes out Sun. 3) I have to work on janes marketplace. It goes out Sat. 4) I have to work on Woman2Woman. It goes out twice a month on Tues.

If I work a little on each one, each day, they should be ready byrepparttar 119006 deadline. Maybe I can just do a few things torepparttar 119007 new website so that I can get it ready to put onrepparttar 119008 net.

I don't feel well today--no time to be sick. Too many things to get done! Sure wish I could afford to hire someone to help me. No, no money for that. Wow! Where didrepparttar 119009 time go? It's dinner time already. Oh well, let's order a pizza. It's time for me to answerrepparttar 119010 emails I've received in my business inbox. I must find a few minutes to maintain my database and reply to emails. Ok, got that done, now need to do some research forrepparttar 119011 newsletters, look at some other sites for various reasons before it's time to put my grandson to bed. Whatever doesn't get done today will be waiting for me inrepparttar 119012 morning.

I am telling you all of this to say that we are human too and have a million things on our mind. I have only touchedrepparttar 119013 surface here. I didn't get into our "household duties". God forbid that something goes wrong, likerepparttar 119014 hard drive crashing, our listserver goes down, or any other problem or emergency that will set us back even further!

We are not "Perfect". The only "Perfect" person that I know was crucified onrepparttar 119015 cross. So whenever you see a mistake that we have made, please try to be tolerant and understand that we are human too! Email us and let us know that we have made a mistake. You might be pleasantly surprised at our response!

We publish newsletters for your enjoyment and to expand your knowledge. We give of our self on our websites and in our newsletters. Let's try and help each other and learn to be "Tolerant" and "helpful", rather than "critical".
