I think I can!

This weekend was my youngest daughters birthday, Sammy is now 20! Now this girl likes her cheesecake but I have been told how hard it was to make....forever. And so, I have always been in the pursuit of a good store bought cake. Btw, really all taste like they come from a box. So to take her from teenager to full blown adult I decided to go to Pinterest and try my luck. I will tell you after using my springform pan for the first time ever and learning what a water bath means , I did it.  I wanted to tell you how hard it was and how I was super woman but guess what? The hardest part of the whole thing was realizing it was 3 1/2 POUNDS of cream cheese not 3 1/2 sticks. It was the most easiest thing I have ever made. And the biggest hit ever. (The link is below) My sweet Sammy loved it. So moral of the story... If you think you can ... You can! Go! Fight! Win!

Sunday blues

It's been a great week with the full time hubby pro networker!  But one thing that we are still struggling with is the Sunday night blues.  Have you ever realized about 5:00 on Sunday night you start feeling awful? You feel stress. You feel sick. You start biting each others head off? Well this is something I thought would automatically stop when my hubby quit is traditional job. But I saw a bit again tonight, I guess it will take some time to figure out he doesn't have to go back to work on Monday.  If you didn't know.... We have 3 different networking companies in our family. Now we are all for free enterprise but with that much excitement it can sometimes be a little tense.  When one couple is doing great another couple isn't and then it changes the next ten minutes. We say and hear a lot of things like fake it till ya make it, it's worth the struggle, there is no I in team, you name it and we have heard it!  Even family get togethers takes some extreme juggling. In the long run we all know it will be worth it (as long as we make it together) , because you see we are all very close and we will be stuck together forever.  Let's close with "it's been a great week" let's get ready to kick the crap out of the next one! Go! Fight! Win! Baby!

Life after 50

I'm writing today to actually remind myself that life lessons can be learned at any age. Growing up I was always taught to have a good attitude, smile, see the silver lining, and many times be so thankful for what you have , you dont realize what your missing. This is all good but it also answers  many question why with the strong personality I am I don't like to say what I feel and I hate confrontation. (This is usually my personalities highlight of the day.)  Now that I am older,I know, keeping things bottled up is only distructive to myself. I do know it's not a free ticket to say and do whatever I want, but I know if I want to feel sad, mad, hurt, happy or whatever emotion, I can. Now to the life lesson, this week I got into a very heated discussion with someone close and they finally made a comment "why can't you just tell me what's wrong and why do you always act like everything is fine?" "Tell me the truth."  And all of those years of bottled up emotions came flooding out at one moment.  Needless to say THEY DONT WANT TO KNOW!!!!! Even if they say they do. Was it true? It was for me. Could it have been said differently? Probably. Maybe baby steps for me in this department. And btw..... It's worse on Facebook. Remember very few people care there... All you are to many is entertainment. And I like that. Go! Fight! Win! Baby!

Hi, A Little about me,  I am a full time Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Zumba and Fun Dance Addict and of coarse full time Network Marketers Wife!  I wanted to start this blog hoping to connect with more people that relate to these titles, or hats, as I would like to call them.
My hubby and I started his career in network marketing long before kids, (29) years ago and he just now , only 2 days ago, quit his job to go pro as he says and make this his full time job.  Now, when he told me this a month ago I just about fell out of bed, of coarse this is where he mentioned it, and had a bit of a panic attack.  I went through all the scenarios  about money, insurance, retirement, and him being at home 24 hours a day, and told him my profound take on the whole thing.  Needless to say he said "ok" and gave me a face and an emotion I never what to see in my whole life again!  He would stay at a job where SECURITY would make me feel better. I then went to my daughters, next best thing to a therapist right?  They both gave me 2 completely different answers and opinions based on where they were in their life's and I decided to trust in the one who has taken care of our 4 kids and I,  made sure we never went hungry and cold.  I let my husband quit!  Now after 2 days and its been amazing.  Lol, I know 2 days..... I'll get back with you, but today has been amazing.  I will take each day at a time and try to be honest and positive but really its gonna get real and that is why I'm here at the computer. I want to sign off each day with a signature expression! I also wanted you to catch a glimpse of where he is today, making calls in the pool.   Go! Fight! Win! Baby!
