FourLeg: Christmas meltdowns! Bah-humbug.

Published: Mon, 12/15/14

Or is it???

"Maybe you should talk to Dad about this…" my 15 year old son said to me as I hopped into the car ranting about how Christmas is for men and children, and how exhausted I was with the 'thinking of presents, the buying of presents, the spending of money, and so on!'.

Women get shafted! Shopping, baking, cooking, decorating, wrapping, mailing, entertaining… and the list goes on!

Okay so I was having a bah-humbug moment (actually it was my second rant of the season). And so later that night, I did chat with hubby to express how overwhelmed I was with the holiday season already. (I remember feeling this way last year too!)

So my little blow-ups and discussions have amounted to hubby and kids getting the tree, setting up the tree, doing the decorating (because I don't much care about where stuff goes), and increasing their shopping duties.

Thus, my suggestion to other women out there is to spell out exactly what you want help with. And my suggestion to the men is to realize that the women need your assistance. Okay… so that my psycho-babble for the season. I'm hoping all of you are perhaps more 'sane' than me at this time of year!!!

So back on track to your learning:

Part 3 - Massage 101

And now we're getting down to the nitty gritty! This episode is about massage techniques.

So Login, click video training and scroll waaaayyy down to video training 96.

And don't forget to print off the handout. It's in the Articles section, under Massage

Watch it now!!!

Blog… the weather outside is frightful!

This blog is a compilation of thoughts on what to do with your dog indoors to get some exercise while the weather outside if frightfully cold or icy (or for those in the southern hemisphere… frightfully hot!)

These are some ideas for you to suggest to your clients if walking outside is not an option!

Check it out!

Read More… this is goooood stuff!!

Coming up this week!

This week coming up should be fun… (if I let it…): Christmas treats from clients (I've decided to not be on my diet this month), our staff Christmas luncheon (yummy food and secret Santa), and a bonus day off (I just realized this weekend that I'm not working next Saturday… and I'm thinking that with my recent melt-downs, I can use that day off!!)

So be good to yourself (or your wife / girlfriend) this week! (I know, I risk getting hate mail from the men in our group… but I'm feeling protective of my fellow ladies out there!!! And I think that the guys will be okay with a little extra reminder to help out more than normal.)

Have a wonderful week! And until next week...

Cheers!

Laurie

Hi Laurie,

First of all I just want to thank you so very much for this educational website you developed. I love the videos, articles, and your teaching style…always have  For many family and personal reasons I have not been able to go to any continuing education courses this year so your website has been a Godsend for me. – J.P.

HI Laurie!

This whole set-up is absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much for putting all the time and effort into this. It’s really done well. I get angry at myself for not getting more time to go and listen and read! – M.T.
