I'm choosing to have a good day today. I got a full night's sleep, Evan and I are both healthy again, I drank some delicious coffee this morning, and I'm happy. I'm trying to get the house cleaned today and I've been really rather productive. After feeding Evan his breakfast, I stuck him in the tub because he was a messy eater lol. He went straight down for a nap right after that, which makes this mommy VERY HAPPY.
Brianna's birthday party is tomorrow. I'm not really looking forward to it. It's at her mother's house....and I really don't care for her mother's family. They all annoy me and try to tell me how to raise Evan. It just really pisses me off, but I always play nice. I just feel like they have no room to tell me how to raise my child when all of their kids are always...well I don't know. Brianna has had a cold for the ENTIRE winter and LaChrista hasn't really taken care of it. There's no reason for a child to be sick for 6 months straight, seriously. And LaChrista's new baby (I think he's 5 or 6 months) has been sick a lot, too. Her house always smells...dirty and I don't know. She doesn't try to keep it clean or ever make it look nice. They let their yard grow too tall and always have random shit sitting in their front yard making the house look bad. She lets both of her kids wear dirty clothes all the time...Brianna even wears dirty clothes to school sometimes. I find that embarassing when I pick her up from school and she looks all ratty. There's no reason for that, you know? She's a pretty clean kid and loves to wear nice things. If you put her in a nice dress and send her to school in it, she almost always comes home just as clean as when you sent her. I just don't think she's a good mother and it makes me upset when she openly judges me and tells me how to raise my child. I wish that we could get custody of Brianna. We would give her a better life. But the state doesn't see it that way. They see it as the child always does better living with their mother and as long as they're fed and have a roof over their head, they don't care.
I feel badly for judging her the way I do, she just makes me really upset. I would never repeat any of this to anyone else -- not even to Danny. I always play nice and try to be helpful. These are just my own personal thoughts.
Anyway. For Brianna's birthday, I'm going to bake some cupcakes and maybe some of her favorite cookies, too. We haven't bought her anything yet, so we'll need to do that tonight. I want to get her some cute little summer dresses, but I don't know what else she needs. I feel like we went overboard for Christmas and she doesn't even play with half of her toys when she comes over here. Maybe we'll get her some books. I don't know, I need to start brainstorming.
I just talked to my Scentsy sponser and I'm super excited for this summer! We're planning on having a couple of events and I really hope that it all works out. I had a really rough start with her, but I really actually do like her and it's good that we get along. I think we're going to do a bbq this summer and invite a lot of people to just come and have a good time. We both have a lot of exciting ideas. :) We're also planning on doing some craft festivals in the summer, which should be great for business!
Have I mentioned how much I love Scentsy? April has been my first full month of doing it and I've already made almost $600 this month in comission! I've already paid for EVERYTHING that I bought to get started and I've also been able to get a lot of my own stock to resale. And I have a warmer in almost every room now! It's a fantastic product and I love doing the parties. Scentsy has been the perfect option for me to let me stay at home with Evan, but still have my own little business. I have a party this weeked and I really need to start getting ready for it! It should be a good time and I'm hoping to make some good money from it.
