Crazy Days of a SAHM turned WAHM

So what now?

2009-11-27T10:41:00.002-06:00

I don't know about anyone else, but I have noticed that the closer you get to your childs' birthday the crazier they get. We are in the two month stretch for both my kids' birthdays and let me tell you they have lost it!!! I don't know how much more I can take of them running around and acting crazy.

They dump out full bottles of shampoo, mouth wash, cleaners, and whatever else they can get their hands on. They will do a 2 a.m. raid of my kitchen and eat anything they can. Running, screaming, and all about carrying on. The other day they had the plunger in the toilet flinging water around.......gross!!!

I am so tired of all of this garbage, and I have no idea on how to make them stop.....goodness I need a vacation! BAD!!

I know I have not been posting "real" posts lately. dNeero has actually come through for me so I have been doing those a lot, or whenever one comes up I am interested in doing. That and the fact I have been so busy with a lot of things.

For one I am still a mom and that always comes first. Both kids have been sick for about two weeks now, and this week they got me sick as well.

Then there is work. All kinds of interesting things have been happening and I think one person is trying to get another fired. That could mean more hours for me which is good for the money but then not so good for time. I already don't see my husband enough so another day of work to go full time, that would be VERY hard.

I also have been spending a lot of time doing my mod job on Divachix.com , I love it don't get me wrong! It just seems to be a never ending babysitting job some days. For the most part everyone behaves where I do the mod-ing but there are times where I could not believe what happens. Now, a co-owner and designer left. I wonder if they will fill that spot?

Well, now I am off to go see what I can do to make the house not look like a train wreck any more. Only a few more days before my mom and step-dad come to visit us here in our small town. AND we might be looking at a home to buy.......good times!

Uncovering Opportunity in a Crisis

2009-01-06T11:59:00.000-06:00

I was made for what i do

2009-01-06T11:56:00.002-06:00

So I figured out last night that what I do for a living is what i should be doing. i love working in a hotel. I love being the clerk. I love everything about it. i am happy when I am at work. I could be in a terrible mood at home and get to work and be happy again. I feel bad because my kids should be the ones that make me happy but for some reason i can not seem to connect to them any more. They are still really young too. That makes me even more guilt ridden that work makes me the happiest. I hope my home life can do the same soon.

Worst.......Morning.....Ever.......

2008-11-18T07:12:00.001-06:00

I couldn't go to sleep until well after 12 last night. I mean who can come home from and 8 hour shift and just go to sleep? Not many people. So anyways I get to sleep and it seems like seconds before I hear my son saying "I, are you awake? I, are you awake?" I tell him as quietly as I can "Do NOT wake up your sister."

He goes potty right after (in the potty not an accident that would make this morning worse) and then proceeds to go back to his room. Well I had asked him to stay in my room so sister would stay asleep. I drift back off then was jolted awake by I crying. M woke her up!!!!

So it was WELL before 6am I am up so with maybe 4-5 hours of sleep I have to deal with tired cranky kids all day then go in for an 8 hour shift tonight. Awesome.

Very Disappointing

2008-11-12T09:41:00.004-06:00

So last night I was going to do my very first in home workshop for Heritage Makers. The thing is my host was not able to get ANYONE to come! So, it was a flop. I thought that she would be able to get a few at least because she is a Mary Kay lady and she knows what it is like to be in direct sales. I know she tried but I can't help feel disappointed that it didn't work out the way I would like. I was going to be dead on for the 30 day fast start program that Heritage Makers offers but not anymore. I have today and that is it. I am hoping that I can at least do something this month because I would hate to let my aunt down (she bought me the business kit). Well, there is always the chance I can find someone else to host a party. And my first host still wants to, she told me she will keep looking for people. So, wish me luck!!

Heritage Makers Party on Friday!

2008-11-05T11:33:00.005-06:00

So i decided to get my name out there on the internet and I am having an online party on Friday the 7th at 7pm CST. I will be talking about Heritage Makers (see http://www.LibraryOfMemories.com for more information) and I can not wait! I have an in home party next Tuesday and I am super excited about that as well!

Heritage Makers is basically a scrap booking company that takes your pictures and you can put them in to books, cards, playing cards, calendars and other things to keep them safe and secure. They publish the books in a very professional bounded book (when you make a book) and they guarantee that if something were to happen to it they will replace it at half cost!

If you want to know more about the party or the company you can e-mail me at wahmomma22@gmail.com or you can visit my site!

Our next President

2008-11-05T11:33:00.001-06:00

While I am very disappointed McCain lost I feel then need to support Obama. I disagree with so much of his policy changes but I have been brought up to support our President no matter what. I am going to give Obama his dues and wait to see how things go.

I think Universal Health care will hurt us more than help us. Doctors are going to be less likely to care as much due to the fact they do not get the same monetary compensation for their work. I also think that this will raise taxes, that is something that was not covered during the running.

The tax cut for middle and lower class families are great. And the raising of taxes for upper class I agree with that as well but I am unsure about what certain families will do with the small amount of money that it will save. Plus, tax time is when a lot of families that I know look to to help with debt and now returns are going to be smaller. I know that these families should be saving more during the year but not everyone knows how to.

I am also very concerned with the comments Biden made about the US and Obama being tested in the first 6 months of office. I truly hope that this does not happen but if it does I hope we take EVERY threat serious and civilian and military lives are spared.

Right now, that is all I have to say. Congrats to Obama for the win and I hope he can deliver and be the President he has promised to be.

Ladybugs are attacking!!!!

2008-11-05T11:32:00.001-06:00

So, I live in the boonies. Way out in the country town of 1400 people. Lots of bugs and mice and snakes, cows and corn fields. So I don't worry about it too much but when I pick up 15 no kidding 15 ladybugs that have died in my house in one room that is WAY too much!!!! Our windows and doors don't keep a thing out! If this was my house I woul dhave had them fixed ages ago but we rent and our landlords went to FL for the winter......awesome.

What a day

2008-10-14T08:14:00.002-05:00

Today is a huge day. First no sleep because my little one has been waking up screaming because she has been having bad dreams. But even bigger than that, if my husband doesn't find a job by today we are getting part time jobs here in town. That means that we can stay here!! That is a good thing. I don't want to move after being here for only 2 months. That is not long enough to move again. The kids can't do it either! My son has lived in 4 states and is not even 4 yet!! I hope this works out!

A little why my post

2008-10-10T07:59:00.003-05:00

Why is that I never seem to get a break. My husband QUIT his job one full week ago and has not found another job. He is looking but hasn't found one. This is after he told me "I only quit with out having a new job because I can ALWAYS find a job. That is what this profession is like." So anyways. He has been home for a full week and you would think that would be nice. I would have help. Not a chance. He has been sleeping in, watching TV, asking me to do everything still. This morning I asked him if he would let me sleep in and he said no, he didn't feel well. Well, neat, yesterday I felt like garbage but I still went on a walk with everyone, I still did everything that my husband wanted and didn't complain. If I had I would have been called a baby and to suck it up. But now that the shoe is on the other foot he HAS to sleep in the is NO sucking it up........Wow, it really makes me angry.

Election 2008.....more

2008-10-09T07:44:00.001-05:00

Between McCain and Obama, who will win out. Right now it is still a toss up but the margin is growing. Be sure to vote in November!

Mary Kay

2008-10-08T09:02:00.003-05:00

Yesterday evening I had a Mary Kay lady come over and help me out. It was a presentation. I normally don't wear make up and she really put it on. It looked ok but WAY more than I would EVER wear! But there is a lot of really nice things. Like the Satin Hands.....that is wonderful. But I am not really sure I would ever buy any. AND she wanted me to join. But for $150 for a chance to not sell, no thank you.

Sunday's

2008-10-05T07:53:00.004-05:00

Sundays should be a day for me to prepare for the next week. No car to do anything. Husband at work all day. Me with the kids all day every day. Well, this Sunday is different. My husband quit his job on Friday. He yelled at his boss and quit. (He did have a good reason in my opinion. His boss was taking my husband off great jobs and putting his son (the boss's) on those jobs. Boss's son has about6.5 years less experience than my husband)

Anyways, This Sunday is going to be very different. We are going to be trying to figure out what to do. If we are going to fix the windshield tomorrow before we change insurance companies. How is he going to fix the lawnmower. Will he find a job before we run out of money. All big questions that I have no answer for. On top of all that I am drained. I have nothing left in me because I have had no real break for me in well, about 3 and a half years. I need a break or I am going to break.

Lets just hope he can find something. And fast.

Fall TV

2008-10-04T07:55:00.001-05:00

I love Heroes, House, Big Bang Theory. Some of these shows I just can't miss! But one of my all time favorites is Biggest Loser!

Election 2008

2008-09-29T08:10:00.003-05:00

I feel very strongly about this next election. I am hoping that McCain becomes president because his policies seem less likely to hurt us further as families. I don't plan on getting in a long post about it because I am NOT a political person....I know basics and that is it.

Dog For Sale!!

2008-09-26T16:49:00.002-05:00

I am so ready to sell our dog!! The only thing keeping from doing it is our kids! This dog has been chewing everything and I don't know what to do about it! I know that he is still a puppy. He is not even one year yet. So obviously it is the age but we have gone through three extension cords, part of our antique bar and countless other items because of his chewing! Lord help me, I want him to stop!

One of those Days

2008-09-26T13:15:00.003-05:00

Have you ever just had one of those days where nothing seemed to go right? Well, that is my day today. I have been searching for another job for me to do from home and nothing is turning out right. I am either under qualified or it is a scam. I can not stand that there are so many people out there that would be more than willing to take advantage of someone. Even if I was so broke that I was going to lose EVERYTHING I would NEVER try to scam someone! It just isn't right!

Then there is the kids. Neither of them are listening today! I am not over the top with them. I have been very calm, very collected and still they act like I mean nothing to them . i had to ask for toys to be picked up I don't know how many times. i am currently working on trying to get my three year old to take a nap. My one year old looked right at me and threw all of her lunch on the floor. What is wrong today!!

Then on top of all of that, I have to help my husband find a new job! He decided that the one he was at was not good enough for him and he is quitting. Luckily he knows better than to quit before having a new job in line. I can only hope that it doesn't mean we are moving again. We just settled in from the last move just over two months ago. Why does he think that we can up and move whenever he feels like it!!

On a good note, we might be able to go into St Louis tomorrow evening for a date night. I think the in-law might be going too but it is away from the kids for a night. We interviewed a baby sitter yesterday and she seems like a great kid. She has a job, she plays and coaches soft ball and she is polite. Lets hope it works out!

Well I think that is it for now. I am sure there will be a new post soon!

UPS, they are idiots

2008-09-24T15:14:00.002-05:00

So, I had to order earring for my daughter that had screw on backs because she has been pulling hers out. It should have arrived two days after I ordered it on the 16th (so arrived on the 18th). No such luck. They came today FINALLY. The first hiccup was when it was shipped to my old address. I had to wait until it was unsuccessfully delivered before changing where it went. Luckily who ever moved into the appt didn't say it was theirs.

Then it took forever to get the address changed. I called at least three times and a hold was placed on it for some unknown reason. I didn't ask for one and the UPS people said that they didn't place it.

So finally it come to my town. Well I was in time to see the UPS delivery man drive off out of my drive way while I stood in the middle shouting at hm like a mad woman. I call the dispatcher right away hoping that he would turn around but no, he was gone for the day. He also told the dispatcher that he rang my door bell. One minor problem. I have no door bell. This house was built in 1885 and no one put one in. So good try guy.

Then today when I go out to meet him to make his day easier (and to be sure I get my package) he asks for ID. The reason, I don't look like I am 21 and it required a signature from someone 21 or older. I am 23. I have two kids. I am married. The package was sent to ME!! I got my ID and got the package but goodness.....I don't EVER want to deal with UPS again!!

Some fun games

2008-09-24T08:36:00.002-05:00

I have to admit it. I play games online. And not all of them are "adult only" games! Some of the are for kids mostly!! Here is a list of great games I have fun with!

Diva Chix

Mara Pets

Club Pogo

Moshi Monsters

So go ahead, check them out and see what you think!

I have never thought it would be like this

2008-09-23T21:14:00.000-05:00

I was never told that being a mom would be the way it is. No one told me that kids can be so funny and so frustrating at the same time. Take today for example, my son, who is three, decided in stead of going potty in the toilet he would go on his bedroom floor. Then tell me that his sister did it. She by the way is one and in diapers and was in her crib at the time of the "accident". Not so funny.

But later today he decided that he would come over to me and start looking at me with the really odd look on his face. I looked at him and asked him what he was doing. he response "I a doggy, Mommy, I going to eat you up!!!" He then proceeds to jump on me and "eat me up" Funniest thing ever. So how it that your kids can drive you insane one minute and make you laugh till you cry the next.

It must be a survival thing.

Searching for years

2008-09-03T09:44:00.001-05:00

I have been searching for years for something, anything that I could do from home. There were so many problems to overcome that it looked so bleak. First, there are so many scams out there that it is seriously unbelievable. It is so sad that people are so willing to take advantage of others for their own gain. Second, I am very unqualified. I have been a waitress, a telemarketer, a camp counselor and I worked at the Dollar Tree. All of them less than 6 months at a time. But in my defense I was 18 when I last worked.

After getting married and becoming a mom I did not go back to work. My son is more important than extra money. I did not want someone I did not know raising my son, especially where we were living. My second child came two years later and she deserves the same attention that my son had. So now I have two children, no peace and no job. Thankfully my husband has been a wonderful provider but I feel guilty at times that I don't earn any income.

I have tried multiple things, mostly affiliate marketing. All were nice but I NEVER made a thing. At best I made $20. Then the one that I had high hopes for went and changed everything, they wanted a monthly fee and in order to just cover that fee, not even make money myself I would have needed to SELL $40 worth of product. Not a chance.

Luckily I have stumbled upon ChaCha. So far so good!! I am really crossing my fingers that I will do well and get something. And at this point in time something is better than nothing. I am sure I could have found something sooner if I had skills or I could use the telephone with no interruptions but as I listen to my daughter get angry about the shirt getting stuck on her head, no phone work is all I can do!
