Being under appreciated

Why is it when I have a really bad cold I am expected to perform at 100%.   When my husband has a cold I am expected to take care of the big baby.  Sometimes it is easier to take care of the kids.  At least they say thank you.  Even the one year old says his version of thank you.  I know my MS is not as bad as most.  I am deeply grateful for that. 

Miracle of Sleep

My one year old son slept in his own bed recently.  After being told to go to bed he actually went to bed.  It was the best sleep I ever had.  It only took a year. 

Decisions

Are you ever caught between a rock and a hard place?  Well I am there.  I tell the truth and it means I get bombarded by people who wants what is best for me.  Or at least their version of what is best for me.  I follow my dreams and I am basically told they are not good enough. They say my dream to run my own Avon business is stupid.  They say I will never make any money.  It has only been 4 months and I have allowed my family to use my account.  They are constantly looking to get over on people.  I was that way and I probably still am.  Who knows.  All I know is that I get to be at home with my little man.  I get to stay home and greet my kids when they get home.I am living the dream.  They see what is wrong with  this.  I see what is right.  I have MS instead of creating more debt.  I just wanted to help my husband get out of debt. and not become worse in the process.
















 

OK. Not Finished.

I decided to keep writing my blog.  I consider Avon as a type of job.  It is not considered a job.  I guess it is not a traditional job.  It is something I can control.  I work when I want to work.  The hardest part is letting go of the past.  I realize the best thing I can do is realize that I am not twenty.  I am 37 and not getting any youn getting any younger.  I am still me. 

I am stilll the girl that says the wrong thing.

I still have a big heart. 

I take risks. 
 Those risks are often times mistakes.   But somethimes those risks payoff.  I just pray my familt does not get hurt by my risky decisions.

It is cold in NC.

Hello everyone.  It is freezing in the house.  It is not because a bill was not paid.  It is because my parents were nice enough to pay for a new stove because our old one was broken.  Since it is a gas stove and the heat in our house is run on gas.  My husband took off anything that runs on gas in preparation for the coming stove.  Thank goodness for our electric heater.  It will take some time but the house will be warmer soon.  Sometimes a gift has its unexpected price attached.

I read about reducing your work load.  I cannot divorce my family.  I can stop looking for traditional work.  I can hope that Avon generates enough money to pay my bills.  I will be concentrating my blogging on myavon.com/nerissagibbs.
