Tweeting your ebay auctions and auction bumps

So I wanted to see how effective it really was to have you tweet your auctions and to do the auction bumps, I want to sell more on eBay and I am trying to get my feedback up and get this going so I did some advertising through Kalimarcum tweets and did some auction bumps and I think they actually do work. I had 9 auctions up last week and my page view were over 100 on most of them. Now the best thing to do when you sell something it so find something that everyone wants, but even if you dont the more people you get to see your auction the better chance of it selling. Out of my 9 auctions 8 sold over the start bid price. This week I posted some other items and I had Kalimarcum tweet again for me and I have to say that I am impressed, the auction has over a full day left and I have over 500 page views. I am so excited that I am starting to build up my twitter to twitter my auctions and I placed an auction bump on my blog here to see how things will go. For proof that i have that many page views check out my Alienware Laptop Auction to see for yourself. A big thank you to Kalimarcum and her advertising! I recommend it to anyone that is trying to sell their items and get more traffic to your eBay store or Auction.. Happy bidding to all you eBayers and have a wonderful day.

Where does the time go??

I really did plan on writing a new post each day just to get my thoughts of the day off my mind so i could rest better at night. I am one of those people that lay in bed and all the thoughts and things that happened for the day roam around in my head making it so I cant fall asleep, instead i just watch the clock. Anyways, that is not happening, I cant seem to just take 15 minutes to get here and do a post, so my Things to do list today will start with post to my blog. Anyways, lets see update, all 4 bedrooms are organized and rearranged. I baked the cookies I wanted and one computer is set up out of 2. My youngest Wonder Girl A turned 3 on Monday and she keeps asking for another birthday haha. I had to go to the dentist today and I have not had a cleaning in oh lets say 10 years, can you tell I hate the Dentist??? They numbed me up so that I would be comfortable and only did half my mouth, lets just say they numbed everything but the actually gums they were working on. I still felt everything on the gum line and I just got the feeling back in my face 10 hours later. I go back on the 25th for the other half and lets see how that half goes. So I got Zhu Zhu pets for my daughters for Christmas and they got them from others so now I have these pets on my hands and i thought putting them on eBay might be fun, that is what I did today. Now if I could just figure out what to do with my 3 year old that wont sleep. she is still up at midnight playing like its noon.. only good thing is on the weekends when i want to sleep in because no school so does she. Bad thing is I have no "Me" time where its just me and no one else. There seems to always be a child of some age awake with me. But I try not to complain too much someday they will be grown and I will be all alone every day. Have a good day and dont miss your regular check ups to the dentist, you dont want a deep cleaning like i had.

What a week!

Goodness Christmas is over leaving me with tons more to do. You think that you have a lot to do before Christmas, no way. I have to rearrange bedrooms to get gifts put away and out with the old in with the new type style in my house. With 7 kids if i dont do that we would outgrow our house every birthday and Christmas that came around. SO I have rearrange 2 rooms I have 2 more to go. I have put away all Christmas gifts and I have taken down all Decorations. The busy week with working and entertaining has left my daughter with double ear infections and me with a horrible cold. I finally got to the post office today to mail off my eBay items and got my new stuff posted. I am feeling better and time to tackle our bedroom and my boys room. So much harder to rearrange boys rooms as well as my husbands room slash den. That is his get away and wants to be able to have it more set up like a hotel room lol. Sitting space, tv, computer, radio, and bed all in one room. So I will be tackling that tomorrow night. Tonight I am heading off to dream land and up early to start all over again. I am actually going to bake tomorrow, something I didnt get to do while Christmas was actually hear. Oh and Friday, my kids, his kids, will both be gone all day long. All that will be here is my 2 year old... hmm is that better or worse then 7 kids?? I will let you ponder that one on your own. Her Birthday is Monday and she is 3 going on 13. Cross one more thing off my TO DO LIST as I add 10 more. Sweet dreams.. more tomorrow from my organized chaos.

Crossing those items off the list

Ok, well its another day and some of my things to do list are done. Yea! I actually finished both of the girls rooms re-arranging them and fitting a desk in the. These pictures are of one of the rooms, dont mind the spinning toddler in the picture. I had to figure out how to fit a desk and another dresser in this small space and I did it. Everything functional and ready to go for the girls to open their computer on Christmas morning. I was very proud of this accomplishment, but with a house full of kids and no school means I have not done anything else on my list... So tomorrow will be jam packed with shopping, picture appointment, baking and wrapping. I always look forward to school breaks so I dont have to drop and pick up 3 different school schedules, but after the first day, I remember what its like to have 7 kids in the house all day long. And mind you I have a 4 bedroom house with on living room, a great dane dog and 6 cats with 7 kids. It gets cramped and no matter how quiet it still loud. Plus the kids think they are on vacation so no bedtimes. I think the past few days I have had 3 hours of quiet time!! Ugg is it time for school to start up again??? Back to work now...

Things to do List

I woke up today thinking that I better make a Things To Do List. I hit a certain age and then all of the sudden, I turned into this got to make a list lady that if she doesnt physically cross the item off the list it will never get done. So I started with 1. Finish Christmas shopping. Yes I am one that has not finished with only days to go, but with 7 kids who has time to get any shopping in. It used to be easy when the baby was young and she didnt see what i was putting in the cart, now I cant take her without her seeing everything. PS. I take her everywhere very rare that I leave super girl A at home with anyone, even with almighty Hubby. Number 2. re-arrange bedrooms... now this one is a big one. I have 3 bedrooms to re-arrange and set up before Christmas because we have gotten computers for the older kids and now it is my job for to make room for the desks that need to go in there closet sized bedrooms to put the computers up. That will take a full day to do that one. 3. Wrap gifts, now with 7 kids in the house this one will be done in the middle of the night. The list goes on and they are all big things on this list. I think number 16. should say finish everything on the list before the end of 2011. Anyone else have a long list that seems its too hard to tackle even one on it?? Good luck to all the list makers out there.

Today is a new day!

I have written many blogs before and just never really got into it. Being a work at home/ stay at home mom for the well almost 3 years I have found that I talk to myself more then I ever have before. So if its not a conversation with a person under the age of 10 or me talking to my dog as if he could really understand me, I talk to myself. I woke up this morning feeling that it was time to get a part of me back. Dont get me wrong, I LOVE being a mom, but I need to be ME too. Im starting this blog all over again from scratch to write my thoughts and get them out so that maybe i will stop finding myself standing in line at the grocery store talking to myself as if I am going to give myself an unbiased answer. This is the first day to my blog, my new self esteem, and well ME. Read it or dont read it, all I hope is that along the way I will be a calmer person and less stressed as I get all my thoughts and frustrations out on well not paper, but this bank computer screen in front of me. Enjoy the thoughts of a tired, okay exhausted mother of 4 amazing kids and 3 sweet as pie step daughters.
