Well, I have always told my kids that the word "CANT" is not allowed in our home. That word drives me crazy! I told my daughter that those who say, "they Can't do something", are simply using that as an excuse for the lack of trying. This last week I took out a piece of paper and wrote down 50 "I AM....." statements. I hope my family and anyone else that may stumble accross this will do the same. Simply write out "I am ______ " and fill in the blank. The exercise is to not to brag or boast, but in a humble way, a faith exercise that absoultely works!
EXAMPLES:
I am a loving and helpful person.
I am trustworthy and honest.
I am an extremely hard worker.
I am a great student.
I am a person that loves school.
I am an unstoppable winner.
I am a great parent to my children.
I am a person that obeys my parents.
I am a loyal and confident friend.
I am a great friend and people like me.
I am a person who looks you in they eye when you speak.
I am a great listener.
I am a person that can do anything.
I am a person people love to be around
I am a happy, smiling, loving person.
I am a person that never complains
(you get the idea)
DO IT, DO IT NOW, DO IT RIGHT NOW!
I am a person of action and I don't procrastinate
I am a person that immediatley takes action
I am a person that reads my positive affirmations every single day

A LITTLE EXTRA
Well, this video sure helps me in the area of sales. There are so many distractions, events, phone calls, thoughts, e-mails, and other things that try to stop us from excelling and succeeding in our efforts. This video is so good for anyone, in any area of their life. It is amazing at what just a small difference can make.

THE ALAMO
THE ALAMO
Well, I'm not really too familiar with any of the sites or places to go in Texas.
A few of the things I know about this part of Texas, are the San Antonio Spurs Basketball team and "The Alamo". So, I thought I would take a little detour while driving around to see if I could find The Alamo. Talk about a pourly layed out city..... Well, I found it, but there is absoultely no parking anywhere near "The Alamo" I found some commercial parking and quickly ran in and took 2-3 pictures and left within a few minutes to avoid be towed away. The rest of the pictures are from just driving around really quick. It really wasn't that cool, and it is in the middle of downtown. I found it really odd, but at least I can say that I was there. If you really want to learn about it then go to http://www.thealamo.org/

YOU DID WHAT?
So I guess I will actually put this in writing......
Most people reading this know that I am in Texas setting up customers that need to have treatments done to their homes to control the terrible insects that exsist in this Hot and Humid state called Texas. To accomplish this, I first determine the area that I will work and map out the streets in that neighborhood. Next, I drive there and try to organize a route that will be the best use of time. This help to ensure that I visit all of the homes in the area. I then begin by taking a metal folder under my arm full of flyers that I hand out to everyone's door. I go up and down the streets in the systematic order and visit with people at their homes. Yes, it is hot! Yes, I am drinking lots of water to try to stay hydrated. This brings up a situation... I'm out there all alone, just me and my truck with no restroom. Well, as I was far from my truck I had this overwhelming sensation that I needed to PEE!
MY INNER THOUGHTS:
Hmmmm.... that kind of hit me fast.
I don't remember drinking that much water??
Man, I really have to go bad!
I better stop my plans of completing this area
I better find a restroom quick.
Oh Dear, I really have to go.
I wonder where there is a restroom?
I wonder if there is a porta pottie (John Co)around?
Oh yeah, the playground park has a restroom
Yeah, I'll hurray over there.
You better walk fast to the truck
You better hurry
Man, I can't believe How bad I need to go
Why did this hit me so fast?
Finally at the truck (doing the Pee dance)
Getting in the truck - I really have to go.
I feel like I'm going to wet my pants
Oh no this is a stick shift -
Can't really hold my legs together for extra control
You better drive fast to that park.
OH NO, I think some came out.
I really have to pee.
Was that really some pee in my pants?
I can't believe this is happening
Drive faster!
Great I'm here.
Oh No, more is coming out
Should I lock the door
No, hurry run run run
Oh No, I think a little more came out
Hold on you are almost there - run KIRK run
Men's restroom is on the other side.
Oh No, I can't believe this is happening to me
Was that more that just came out
Hurry, Hurry, Hurry!
You are almost there just hold on
Think of something else.
I'm at the door - It's LOCKED!
You have got to be kidding me
More is coming out.
Quick no one can see you.
Unzip quick ................
AWWWWW instant relief
Quick - Hurry, zip up before a cop or child sees you.
I look at my pants and they are completely wet!
I JUST WET MYSELF!!!!!!!
I can't believe this actually happened, but it did. I spent the next hour in the hot sun laying out to dry myself off!
I can't believe I acutally peed my pants!

MANS BEST FRIEND
I have found man's new best friend to replace the average Kanine "THE MAGELLAN" This little piece of magic understands voice commands and helps me find my way home. I guess your typicall map would work, but this is so nice to say,
"Magellan - Wake UP"
"Magellan - GO HOME"
Then it routes and finds the map to your home and give voice directions as you drive. On the way home I took a few snap shots with may camera. Remember these are shots while traveling 70 mph down the highway.
Notice the other side of the street - Look at that traffic as I just sail on by taking pictures.
HOME SWEET HOME!
