But really, this week sucked.
*I got phished by someone pretending to be my bank.
*I was bitten over thirty times by a mysterious bug. I thought I had hives because there were so many bites. I went to the urgent care because I inched so much I felt like my body was on fire. The nurse practitioner confirmed that they were bug bites.
*Then with my lovely coordination, I spilled my coffee all over my phone. Thankfully, she survived though there is some permanent screen damage in the right hand corner. I'm still paying on this bad boy, so she needs to be used for one more year! When I get a new phone, I'm going to follow Dave Ramsey's advice and pay for it in full upfront instead of adding it to my monthly phone bill.
Back to the best week ever-*the highlight was when our Rottweiler shit in his crate, then spread that lovely shit all over the floor when I took him outside. I had to clean it up whilst holding my screaming 10 month old. I also have OCD (since age 10), so that night I began to panic at the idea that I stood where the dog poop once was.
After that point I wondered if I should break my ankle to beat the universe in any further plans it had to destroy me.
I had two Norwex parties this weekend-one for my friend who signed under me to get the 35% off of products and the incentives of having a party, and one for my first host.
I was so nervous because being that I've been on maternity leave for a year, I forgot how to present in front of people. I went from speaking in front of 160 students a day to avoiding most socialization.
The first party I had this weekend, I forgot if green or purple meant that protein was present during my protein test. I took tips from a Norwex podcast that suggested to present right out of the bag. That worked out so well as I frantically searched through my bags for the products I was going to discuss. Then there were screaming kiddos running around as I tried to talk.
One of the guests there is a former teacher and she was very kind to say after that she liked my presentation. As teachers we see the potential in kids and saying encouraging things can go a long way. I felt like I was in the position as a student and she was reassuring me. After cleaning dog poop off of my kitchen floor, this night did not seem bad at all!
The party I had the next day went so much better! I felt like I was Stella and I was finally getting my groove back.
A few months ago postpartum, I was scared to leave my house. Anxiety consumed me. I had to force myself to drive to go anywhere. Now here I am talking to people again. I feel like it's preparing me for my return to work, which is good because you have to make a good first impression with teenagers when you meet them or they'll eat you alive!
I lie here looking at a community college position for English prep for students getting their GEDs. I'm so tempted to apply because it is part time which means I can see my baby more, but I made a promise to return to my seniors. Plus in nine months from now, we'll be debt free except for our mortgage. I'm hoping a job like this will be open nine months from now.
This week sucked, but after losing my personal information, I feel like I can move further in my journey in simplifying my life.
