My New Life

Things have been very VERY crazy at the Random House.  But good things are coming, I just know it. 
I recently moved out of the house with my girls.  We are staying with my parents.  You may have read the earlier post about the school/job thing.  That is related to my kiddos.

Lyric has been battling some depression/anxiety issues and that has taken up a major part of my energy and time for the past month.  She is doing better now.  Has been back at school for 4 days.  Is taking her meds regularly.  We still just take it one day at a time.

Jazz is trying to adjust to things but we are still in transition and she has good and bad days.

I decided not to do the PartyLite thing because I couldn't even manage enough business for a decent sized party.  However, since I am a huge fan of Avon products and I was spending a bunch of my money there anyway, I signed up to be an Avon rep.  You can check out my site at www.youravon.com/akrueger8895.  If you want to sign up to do an eparty, let me know.  The first person to sign up will get a special gift from me.

I will go back to school in August.  I will start looking for a new position in June.  We should be moving into a new apartment around May 1st.  I'm going to see Rick in July.

See, even with all the bad stuff,  I can still find good stuff to look forward to.  If you are so inclinded, pray for me as I take the next steps on my life's journey.

Money Making Monday...Avon Products

Everybody knows the name. Avon has been around forever and has a vast product line.

make up, body, mens, womens, jewelery, kids, gifts.

I've been an Avon lady a couple of times, so I can speak from experience. With a little bit of effort, this really can be a great business. If you are just in it to get the discount for yourself, that works too. The start up is only $10.

If you are interested, go check it out.
