So HELLO! I had blogged before about being told that I was going to be laid off. So Yesterday was the day. Yep I'm officially jobless. Since then (January 6th) I have been going through the motions I was shocked at first then I woke up one morning and thought it had been a dream and I was in denial it was actually happening. Then I was angry (very angry) how could these people that I had devoted my life to for the past 4 years be "dumping me". Then I just cried - I cried until I couldn't cry any more. I felt abandoned and I was just so depressed. Then I remembered that everything happens for a reason. I have been so lonely and asking for my life to change. Well be careful what you ask for! So I figure that this is the universes way of setting me on my new path. I just keep thinking hopefully my next job will have plenty of good looking single guys. Then I was able to feel acceptance. Now don't get me wrong - that thought didn't cure me. I still go through the cycles. They are just smaller and don't last as long and don't hurt as much.
I was watching that new show undercover boss where the president of Waste Management went to different locations under cover and he was visiting the scales. There was a woman who worked there that ran everything. She did all of the office, payroll, A/P, A/R and then went down and ran the scales and the phones. Basically she was me. Then the President went and worked with her for the day and realized that she was doing the job of 5 people and he wanted to help her and reward her for that. So she got promoted to Supervisor and got to hire 2 people to replace her and she got a raise. Watching that killed me - I was doing the job of 8 people and I got laid off, only to train 4 people other people to replace me - How is that cost effective. Then that just made me think it's me or my attitude or whatever. Then the cycle started all over again.
In December I had talked with a Tupperware director about singing up. I had originally wanted to do Tupperware as a side business and a way to organize my kitchen and house. So I actually started Tupperware on January 22, 2010. I am tonight receiving an award for top sales in the month of February. I also have always wanted to be able to teach life skills and now I'm seriously considering starting to do it. I can incorporate my Tupperware by having cooking demo classes. I'm really excited about this. I just have to figure out how to keep financially afloat while living the dream.

Antonio Ballatore
While I was watching Design Star I kept thinking wow this guy is hot, and he can design and build. What a catch, his wife must be so proud to have him. Then I find out he's single, WHAT! What is a guy that is the total package doing single, I would take him in a heart beat.
If I can't have him then I would want him to come and work on my house. I will definalty be watching his new show.
I will post more once the show airs.
To All The Great Moms
I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter. She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the item away from her and I asked her not to do that.
"Why?" my daughter asked.
"Because it's been on the ground, you don't know where it's been, it's dirty and probably has germs" I replied.
At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked, "Mommy, how do you know all this stuff? You are so smart."
I was thinking quickly. "All moms know this stuff. It's on the Mommy Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Mommy."
We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information.
"OH... I get it!" she beamed, "So if you don't pass the test you have to be the daddy."
"Exactly," I replied back with a big smile on my face.
"Why?" my daughter asked.
"Because it's been on the ground, you don't know where it's been, it's dirty and probably has germs" I replied.

Three Blondes
Three Blondes were all applying for the last available position on the Texas Highway Patrol. The detective conducting the interview looked at the three of them and said, 'So y'all want to be cops, huh?'
The blondes all nodded.
The detective got up, opened a file drawer and pulled out a folder. Sitting back down, he opened it and pulled out a picture, and said, 'To be a detective, you have to be able to detect.. You must be able to notice things such as distinguishing features and oddities such as scars and so forth.'
So saying, he stuck the photo in the face of the first blonde and withdrew it after about two seconds.
Now,' he said, 'did you notice any distinguishing features about this man?'
The blonde immediately said, 'Yes, I did. He has only one eye!'
The detective shook his head and said, 'Of course he has only one eye in this picture! It's a profile of his face!
'You're dismissed!'
The first blonde hung her head and walked out of the office.
The detective then turned to the second blonde, said, 'What about you? Notice anything unusual or outstanding about this man?'
'Yes! He only has one ear!'
The detective put his head in his hands and exclaimed, 'Didn't you hear what I just told the other lady? This is a profile of the man's face! Of course you can only see one ear!! You're excused too!'
The second blonde sheepishly walked out of the office.
The detective turned his attention to the third and last blonde and said, 'This is probably a waste of time, but... 'He flashed the photo in her face for a couple of seconds and withdrew it, saying, 'All right, did you notice anything distinguishing or unusual about this man?'
The blonde said, 'I sure did. This man wears contact lenses.'
The detective frowned, took another look at the picture and began looking at some of the papers in the folder.
He looked up at the blonde with a puzzled expression and said, 'You're absolutely right! His bio says he wears contacts! How in the world could you tell that by looking at his picture?'
Are you ready for this????
The blonde rolled her eyes and said,
'Well, Helloooo! With only one eye and one ear, he certainly can't wear glasses.'
The blondes all nodded.
