Its been how long....

Since I posted??? Sheesh! I really gotta keep up with this blog!
Ok I will try to summarize.....
Noah is getting really big. He weighs a little over 14 lbs and today he is 12 weeks old! I love my little man! His doctor wanted me to put him on a baby diet and I did...for a day and a half! I am sorry but I am NOT going to starve my child! The poor baby was so hungry he wouldnt stop crying! I finally said forget the darn diet and I fed my baby! Then he was able to nap. I have kept it up and Noah is fine. He is not eating too much. Believe me, if he doesnt want to eat, he wont take the bottle. He loves to smile and interact as well.

Sometimes I lay him on the couch and then hold his hands and talk to him and he just smiles and laughs at me. He absolutely LOVES his big brother! Trent loves him too. He loves to hold him and talk to him and he even will give him his bottle. I finally got him to change a diaper the other day. Even if he never does it again, at least I know that he knows how!

Ok on to current events...as alot of you all know, I contacted my boss as she and I previously discussed, to let her know I had a dr appt that week and that my doc would most likely be giving me the ok to start work again. To my total shock, she tells me that I was terminated not on leave of absence and tells me that she cant rehire me due to budget issues. Talk about jaw dropping!
I havent been able to find another job. Michael doesnt really want me to work. He feels I am best caring for our son and supervising Trent's schooling which is fine with me. I just feel so bad that I dont have an income to help with the bills. It breaks my heart really. I am not sure why since being a stay at home housewife and mother has been my dream. Is it because I have always had a job that I am feeling so bad about it.
I keep praying that the Lord will provide a job for me. So far I havent found anything. I have also prayed that the Lord will supplement the extra money we need to cover what income I lost. I got to thinking about it from an email that I received which was a question on "How do you display your product" and I was reminded that I have a Mary Kay business sitting here on my shelf collecting dust. I got to thinking about it and I decided to look at my director's website to see what kind of information she had on why women sign up with the company. The majority see it as a way to make extra money. I looked at what I need extra a month right now and it hit me! Most consultants make approximately $300 at a skin care class. One class a week would be a total of $600 a month! Go a step further....2 classes a week: $1200 a month! WOW!!!
Now, I dont have alot of business cards and no funds to order some so I will have to improvise. I found a business card that I may just be able to scan and print some out. No they wont look as good but at least they will be something to use. Wont need that many. I dont have a kit to use. I do have a cleanser and a moisturizer so I can use that. I can also use my own product to show but not necessarily demo.
I know it will be hard but at least it will work for the time being.
I was also thinking as well.....maybe my lack of having the full kit is what has been hindering me. Mary Kay always said that you cant sell from an empty wagon but the same goes for showing what you have. You cant show the product if you dont have any to show. But I do have this and I AM going to make it work!

Just pray for me!
