When it rains, it pours.
It has been a bit crazy these past few weeks, and I fear that it will get even crazier. My life seems to be starting on a roller coaster that I can't seem to find the brakes to. I only hope I can hold on.
Last week was AMAZING for my Mary Kay business. I did over $1000 in sales! It was so incredibly exciting! I was very happy about that. Plus I had a really good time getting to know one of my clients. She's 7 months pregnant and is thinking of starting her own MK business after the baby comes so she doesn't have to work full time. It would be so awesome for her. I really hope she chooses that path.
I'm still trying to settle in at home. I have so much crap and nowhere to put it all! ARRGH! I've already gotten rid of so much, too.
Then I found out this weekend that my aunt is going to leave my uncle, and now he's talking suicide. So I'm trying to be there to steady my cousins and my mom. I don't know what much to do except try to keep a positive attitude and lend them an ear when they need to talk. It's frustrating that I can't do more.
On top of that, Brian's grandma slipped and fell just over a week ago and broke her hip. She was on the floor for a day and a half to two days before she was found. They were finally able to do the surgery earlier this week. Everything was looking fine until she started not eating a few days ago. Things are looking bad now, I guess. She'll be 85 tomorrow. She's like a 3rd grandma to me, so this is hard to deal with. I need to go see her, which means I can't go to school to get my books and parking permit for Tuesday when I start, which is yet ANOTHER thing on my plate. School means all Tuesday and Thursday plus Wednesday night at school plus homework, and I heard rumor that one of my classes requires EVEN MORE service hours than we've already had to put in. Isn't 120 enough?!?!?
And today was Stephen and my 5 month anniversary. I'm so excited that we've been together that long! He makes me so happy! I really think I've found the perfect guy for me. The only problem with today was that we didn't get to spend more than 10 minutes together. I was in Oceanside with part of the Bobbysox Brigade...we'd gone down to my boss's condo overnight for fun (it's gorgeous, btw!), and he was in Vegas with my bro for my bro's 21st birthday. I didn't expect them back until later, so I had decided to go to a MK debut. Well, they got back before I did, and then I called to see if he wanted to go to dinner with my mom and I so at least we could spend a little time together, but he said he and his mom were going to have dinner toether. Then I had MST rehearsal, and that was the rest of the day. I called him on my way home and asked him if he was disappointed that we didn't get to spend more time together, and he said a little. I just wish we'd think to plan these things out. So then I told him we had to keep the 28th open next month, and he reminded me that it was a Wednesday, which blows because I work 9-5 and then have class 7-9:45. Darn it all! I feel like I'm letting him down or something.
While all of this is going on, I need to keep my Mary Kay business going. I want to become a director, and I can't let my business stop just because of all this going on in my life. I want to put everything in my life on hold right now...just push pause for three days straight so I can sleep and get my room sorted out and get all the little things done that I need to get done. Sigh. If only, eh?
