Let’s play ‘Catch Up’
Ok, so since I last blogged, here are a few things that have happened:
I purchased a Durango in Atlanta, GA. My real dad lives about 20 minutes from where I bought it, so I went to visit him! We went out to lunch and talked a while before he rushed me off (to miss the crazy Atlanta Friday traffic). It was very strange to meet him after never knowing him! But at the same time, what a relief!! By the way, I LOVE my Durango!!
My business partner Summer and I have started a new web site. I can’t tell you anything about it as of yet… we want it DONE and open for business before we spill the beans! We have over 1000 products loaded in the site right now, with probably that many or more to still add! It’s going to be HUGE!
I joined an awesome local Knoxville, TN forum for Knoxville and surrounding area moms. They get together and have playdates with the kiddos, mommy’s nights out and so much more! If you’re local to Knoxville, TN you should totally join us! www.KnoxvilleMommies.com .
Thanks to the ladies at Knoxville Mommies, I did my first ever Tupperware party! It was awesome to do a party! I also had one the next week hosted by someone else.
I’ve been trying to come up with ways to market my Tupperware business lately. I found a local Mary Kay consultant and we met to discuss ways to market our businesses together. I was really kind of disappointed in our meeting, because I wasn’t there to join her company, or try to recruit her. But she totally tried the ENTIRE time to recruit me.
My husband FINALLY got a job!! He had joined the Electrician’s Union and they finally called his name to go to work! He’s close to home, so that’s very awesome! The job was supposed to be a 4-6 week job, but MAY last until September!
We told my son that he has “another dad and sister”. He hasn’t seen his real dad since he was 2. My husband has raised him since he was 17 months old, and is the only dad my son has ever known. My son has a sister that he’s never known about and we felt it was time to tell him so they could meet and grow up together. My son thinks he’s lucky to have two dads lol I took him to meet them weekend before last. He went fishing and swimming with his real dad, Michael and his other sister, Raven. He seemed to really enjoy himself!
Speaking of my son, Dakota…. he had to go to summer school! He has the rest of this week and next week and he’s done. I don’t really see that it’s helping him because he LIKES summer school. He doesn’t even like ‘real’ school… so it can’t be helping much lol
My dad is being forced to move. His landlord has breast cancer and has been footing the bill for her son’s condo which she can’t afford to keep paying for. Her son needs a place to stay, so she’s kicking my dad out so her son can have the house. I went to help him pack and clean the house some this past weekend. I arrived on Friday and spent the night and left Saturday evening to come home. My dad and I have been talking on the phone on a regular basis, getting to know one another. I’ve asked him to come move closer to me, and although he said he probably wouldn’t, I think he’s really considering it.
It’s Summertime! I’ve been tagging along with my sister in law and her group of teenagers (two of them are hers, the others are girlfriends/boyfriends to her kids and their friends). We’ve had a blast! It’s been SO hot here, and humid too! It would just be wrong not to go swimming!
My best friend and I of 18 years decided to get matching tattoos! We got a heart with tribal swirls on the sides. Mine is on the bottom front of my left leg, and hers is at the bottom front of her right leg.
I have two insect bites on my knee that have gotten infected. I went to the doctor yesterday to have them checked out, and I have a staph infection! The doc gave me two antibiotics for the infection. He also checked my blood sugar, and I told him I haven’t been taking my diabetic medications as I should be. He told me he will probably end up putting me on insulin. 😦
Ok… I *Think* that sums up most of what’s been going on in my life since I haven’t been blogging regularly! Please comment if you feel the need! (Maybe I will feel like someone actually reads my blog and will be inspired to keep writing! LOL)
