Avon will no longer be calling!


I am going to stop selling Avon. I have not made a single cent, since I have purchased catalogues so many times w/out orders. At least I didn't lose money... I am just tired of the extra work w/out anything in return. Everything costs money- samples, supplies, catalogues, etc. It is frustrating. I can promise I won't do another direct sales thing AGAIN.

I want to bring in some money, but don't know where to start. A position in the evening? Watch other people's children? I doubt I have the patience...
My question is why are these direct sales businesses so alluring to SAHM's? I know moms who do Pampered Chef, Mary Kay, Avon, Creative Memories (I think that is the name), Southern Living at home, and more. Only one mother that I know works it as a real business and makes a profit. Most of us go in with rose colored glasses and high hopes. Well, direct sales will no longer find me a willing sucker!

Sick day, dancing day


Aidan has been in my bed all morning with a fever, scratchy throat, and "burning" eyes. Poor little guy slept all night long, woke up at 7 to eat (in bed) and is still asleep at 1130.

Preston on the other hand is a ball of energy today. We turned on the Wiggles CD downstairs and we danced together. He was adorable! He flapped his little arms, spun in circles, and looked at me upside down through his legs. I tried to teach him to shake his rumpy. He took his hand and shook his diaper back and forth. It was very cute. I hope he stays well and my big boy feels better soon.

As for me, I feel like dancing. I finally sent in everything for UNC and UNCG, so now all I need to do is wait.
