A week of the Flu - Stuggles of Motherhood

 If your a mother of school aged kids then you already know how this fall and winter season has been...

Week after week my kids have been sick.

It has been driving me crazy because I keep getting sick too.

This past week we all got taken down by the flu, except my husband, that jerk never gets sick but i always catch whatever the kids have. WHY IS MY IMMUNE SYSTEM LIKE THIS!!!

The kids have had fevers as high as 102.1 and not being able to hold food down, muscle pains, headaches, the list can go on and on.

Since its the holiday season and we already missed out on a few activities that we (aka I) had planned, I still wanted to make the most of it. 

We took the kids to a light show, that was near us. Had hot coco and played a machine game, you know the one where you try and get a toy with the grip thing lol. What are those called "claw machine"? Is that what its called, i could easily google the answer but its my blog so I can just write that I don't know what its called. I will probably google it after I post this and laugh at my silliness since i'm probably right, i'm usually right anyway!!

Of course we only lasted about 30-40min because my son and husband were was too cold (they are just so grumpy lol) and my daughter decided not to let her hot chocolate cool down and burned her tongue. Thankfully the kids got in for free and we did get a few nice photos to remember this moment, however short it was.

           

After we went to a Mexican reasturant and the food was delicious, the kids had the best time.

I got the chicken fajita which was amazing!! Hubby got a burrito and I love that they had kid options like pizza, mac and cheese, etc for the kids. The whole place was so nice and festively decorated for the holidays. We definitley wil be goong back.

Moving from NY to PA was a fun transition, but now finding food has gotten interesting. We no longer have the convinence of every culture within a 30 block radius. We have to hunt down to find good authentic style foods, but we are starting to find the best spots.

  

It was nice taking them out, if only for a little bit since my son was feeling better and my daughter wasn't really showing any simptoms well that was until the next day, but that another story...

Why I no longer am part of Monat

Short version I didn't like the pressure I was under to get customers and people to join.

Longer version:

 I wasn't having success, and i felt like i was lying to people that they can make all this money when i wasn't and it didn't sit well with me.

 I hated having to message people and constantly have to be in peoples dm's. 

 I worked my butt of daily and consistently but I didn't like what was "required" of me. 

 I'm an influencer and alot of the ladies kind of looked down on that, mind you I make 10x more being an influencer than I ever did in Monat. 

 The culture isn’t as nice and friendly as they make it seem, its a lot of pushing and stress to succeed so that the ones above you can move up. and when you aren't being "successful" no one is interested in being your "friend". 

 Once I stopped doing Monat no one ever decided to "keep" talking to me, which is hypocritical but I already expected it and laugh about the ridiculousness.

 I'm just ashamed that I pushed these products so hard, not that they didn't work, they did! but in all honesty I am not a fan on the way you have to have a flexship and can only purchase $84 worth of stuff to get free shipping. There are other products that are similar and more easily available to buy. 

I just refuse to join and be made felt like a nobody because I can't get "sales" so to anyone that i pressured, I  sincerely apologize!!!! 

One last thing I feel I need to add is that be careful with people wanting to be "your friend", those women who follow you, like all your posts and then try to get to "know you" are just part of the MLM train...

This is another reason I couldn't be apart of it. IT IS MORALLY WRONG!

I have so much more to say, but for now this was good to get off my chest <3

 Thanks to all my supporters!!!!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!

WELCOME to my messy life!!

To the mom, dad, parent who needs to be reminded:

I posted this to my stories and I realized I'm not the only parent who gets pressured to be perfect. 

 

So here is your reminder that you have kids, especially if you have little ones.

Your house doesn't need to be perfect, if it is that's great, but for the 85% of us who are just making it through the day. YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB!!

My home will never be a perfectly clean house because I let my kids actually live in their home, enjoy the house, run around, make messes. They are little only once. Maybe when they move my house can be a magazine cover. Until then, it's gonna be a hot mess with this hot mess momma and her hot mess kiddos.

But my kids will remember their happy home, their sense of wonder and all the fun times we continue to have.

So don't let this holiday season or even just this whole year stress you out because of some mess. Let people talk and say whatever they want.

What's my motto people!!: they don't pay your bills, help you raise your children and aren't apart of your every day life. And if still so, no one's opinion matters but yours!! 

Enjoy all these moments, enjoy the stressful clutter, we only get a few years with our babies until they turn to teens and don't want to be near us 😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣

HAPPY HOLIDAYS & WELCOME TO THE MESSY CLUB!!!!
