I have joined another home based business. I am now a BeautiControl consultant in training www.beautipage.com/elizabethhulsman. It is a more consumable product line that Tupperware so it will create a more substantial residual income base than Tupperware. If you would like to help me kick off the new business I am offering a 20% discount until Monday evening. The discount does not apply to internet orders so be sure to contact me via email or phone if you want to try something at the lower price! If you miss the discount, I am doing a vendor event at the end of the month with both Tupperware and BeautiControl, you can try some of the products. Tupperware has some awesome sales for spring including 40% off modular mates, which are now clear (yay).
I wonder if I am a home party business junkie? LOL. I shudder at the thought of returning to a normal job but crave the income level. Fortunately my husband supports my efforts to avoid traditional work. And I do still have the gig as Reese's nanny which provides just enough extra that if I don't make money on the home businesses there is still enough to cover bills and not go hungry. The woman whom I signed up under for BeautiControl has actually been using her income to stay at home with her kids for the last 5 years. So I feel good that I have a more appropriate guide in her, vs in tupperware where I have recently engaged and 20 something Rachel who is perky and has gobs of extra time to devote to her "part time" home business. Julia has two kids and a mortgage so ya know I can relate to that LOL. she also contends with basketball games and school events and her husband's schedule etc. etc. so she gives me a more realistic view of how much time is actually needed to devote to the business.
Of course there is still a matter of me actually wanting to further my education.... I think I have decided that I am done with healthcare, maybe not forever, but at least while I am raising Ty and hopefully additional kids. At least healthcare in the nursing home setting. It was too emotional exhausting to keep up. I become waaaay to attached and invested to the people that I care for and unfortunately while it is incredibly rewarding I just couldn't keep up with the emotional draw of my expectations for what each person deserves. That being said what I want to pursue now is a teaching degree, so yeah, more people to care for LOL. But in a different capacity where I am actually able to provide what I want to provide for the student and see them use it to grow. In healthcare you are kind of screwed because of lack of funds and not enough caregivers so you are no matter how hard you work or wrack your brain you cannot truly give each person what they need to thrive, especially those wtih AD who are completely reliant on you for everything. I do believe that it is good to help whomever you can, but when you see 5 days a week that you are consistently falling short to meet an individual's needs it simply doesn't matter that you are meeting the needs of 169 other people. That one guy that's left out still matters. He's a person not a statistic. Hmmm, this thread of thought is starting to convince me that because of my views perhaps teaching could potentially end up just as emotionally draining. But the difference is the age group I want to teach is primarily happy by nature and eager to live and learn and thrive and given the right tools can do so on their own. Alzheimer's patients are very different indeed. Also I want to teach in Montessori setting so it is at their own pace. We'll see. Right now I don't even have the fudns to pay for the schooling so this is all one big pipe dream.... and I really rambled on a lot more than I intended to. In fact this whole post has little to do with what i actually sat down to write LOL.
