Life has been all over the place for me the last few weeks! Started w/ my feeling of there having to be something more that I can do and be as a mom and wife and what not.
Then a Mary Kay opportunity came up and I jumped @ it! I was supper excited and really looking forward to doing that and all the free, 1/2 off product I’d be getting. Being able to be and do something other than ‘just a mom’. Then after my first MK party I realize there is much more to this endeavour than I was aware of. I hadn’t asked the right questions up front, before getting into all this, and here I was finding out more to what I was in for than I wanted to be in for! No ones fault, but my own for not asking up front – Oh well. So, as it stands now – and thank you ladies who came, bought, and aren’t getting anything for being so understanding! – I’m no longer a MK consultant. . . . . I’m fine with that!
Marks parents had sent us some info on a cabin they are renting up in Rome NY for the week and invited us to come up. It wasn’t going to work for all 3 of us to go, so I started thinking, maybe Kaia and I would go for a day or so. It can’t be that far, and a little road trip – before our BIG road trip to NC – would get me ready for the next one. I thought I had looked @ the distance before and it was only 3 or 4hr – this morning I look @ it and its 5hr! So, we’re not going, Kaia and I will be here in Queens all week, if your in the area stop by! I was bumbed! A cabin, in the mountains, out in the middle of no where, even Verizon doesn’t reach there!
The good thing is, I do have lots of things planed for this week – a lunch date tomorrow, birthday cup cakes wednesday, possible dinner guest that night, I’m sure a play date w/ our friends on thurs will be in order and then Marks off on friday. All in all, I think I have just enough to get me through, no matter how much fun we’d have if we went up state -
In other news in my life – yesterday was a BIG day for some/lost of people all over the country, especially here in NYC – there was a big parade, and lots of pride being shown/displayed all over the village. I had to go there yesterday and was a little early – so I stood on the corner, w/ the sunglasses on, and BlackBerry in hand, observing the left over entertainment. This kind of thing is something we see all the time here, but it was much more yesterday just b/c of the parade. I was thinking though, as I was watching everything/everyone, that we as the church, have done an awful job @ showing who we are suppose to be. What makes this kind of sin so much worse than the bad thought I just had about the lady that cut me off in line, or the nasty things that I might say about someone else. Or the bad language we use? Its not, its all sin! We all do it, why do we treat this as some kind of really horrible thing? I’m not condoning this, I don’t agree w/ it, I don’t support it. But, they are people just like us – who need to know that my God, my Saviour – loves them just as much as He does me. When I hear someone say ‘your people don’t like my people’ I cringe! No! My ‘people’ don’t agree w/ your life style, not you! It makes me not want to be associated w/ the ‘christian church’ – we don’t have to be accepting of they way they live their life, but we should accept them and love them just the way the Man we love and believe in would and did! Ok, enough of this -
I’m looking forward to a good week – I’m going to make the best of it that I can!
