700 Days

A normal person experiences trauma and crisis over increments throughout ones lifetime. I seem to be the exception.

I married my husband after a few months of being together. Every moment since, beginning with our wedding day, has been a moment of crisis. We tried to solve our problems and then it fell apart. On our 3 year anniversary I started this blog. Alone and away from my husband. Almost another 700 days passed before I recommitted my time to finishing this project, complete the healing process that I let myself get distracted with.

It was the advise from my aunt to give everything 700 days before seeing things get better.... and we will have survived the hardest part of raising the kiddos.

700 days to journey through what will be the toughest part of our marriage: with three kids under the age of two, confronting depression, and everything else that has been working its way against us.

  • 614 Days- Show me the money :)

    I woke up and got ready at what I like to call the butt-crack of dawn.  The sun was nowhere near.  I cuddled up with the boys on the couch before we were all ready to get up and get dressed for school.  We had a good morning.  I stopped at a nearby starbucks, devastated that the wifi would not connect me to the world wide web, I was forced to connect with people via phone and read an analog publication.  

    But I’m interested in doing this more often, working on possible leads to bring in more income.  I’m enjoying my quiet and alone time.  I was approached my my friend to look at something she thinks I might want to consider.  My mind immediately flashes images of church groups or prayer meetings or some other kind of religious gathering that will be 45 minutes from my home somewhere.  Instead, network marketing is mentioned, as well as Pre-Paid Legal. I politely listened as I tried to inwardly figure out a way out of this conversation.  I don’t have the money to sign up and neither the time to follow through with anything, not to mention, burning out my family and friends with the next get rich scheme.  

    As they continued their pitch, my ears perked to the small amount of referrals needed to recruit at a time.  Teams of threes.  You build a team of three, they build and so on.  An anti-aging cream that does wonders for several different skin ailments.  If the product does what it claims, something like this will actually sell itself.  The company is founded by the man behind Pre-Paid Legal and this formula for the cream was found by accident in cancer research.  A fairly large portion of the sales actually go towards cancer research after incentives are paid out to reps.   I personally like the idea that these people who are already well off are funding a business model that’s easy to help individuals build extra income as well self funding the cancer research.  IF all else fails, I’ll at least be able to get this miracle cream for free by just having three referrals.  Easy peasy.  But, if I get those three to get three, I get an iPad2… If I get those three to get three each, I’ll get a freaking Lexus!  6 tiers later…. I’m a millionaire. 

    Hubster would barely acknowledge me when I told I would consider looking into it.  “Whatever. It’s your money.”  Yet, after talking with some of our friends, he comes back stoked on the possibility of “millions of dollars…. doing nothing”  lol.  Sometimes his interpretations of things makes me laugh so hard.  I do love this man.  I’m willing to give it a try.  Money back guarantee, it never hurts to try it out. Right?
