Now that I’m over that….

This post is I guess an about me post!

I’m extremely driven..to say the least. I’m 28 and I currently work for a top ranking employer in a city named the fifth safest place to live in AMERICA…..but my life didn’t start that well. I have 2 boys 11 & 3…do the math and you’ll see i started a little early. I lost one son (god rest his soul). I struggled!!!! People repeatedly told me what I couldn’t do with 2 children but I never listened. I did everything I could to make sure I never wanted for a thing. If that meant working on my degree while working full time and taking care of my boys then that is what I did. Lets not mistake this for a “no baby daddy story” my sons father is WONDERFUL I couldn’t ask for anything more. We didn’t work out but that doesn’t affect his role as a father. I struggled because I didn’t take a penny more then I needed from him FOR MY BOYS! We both were young so I wasn’t going to take his last because I knew he also needed to survive. We didn’t live off the system and I refused to every settle. That is the very short version of my life story. I’m actually working with a writer on a motivational book for teen mothers. We have so many people telling them what they can’t do, so they aren’t even trying.

I only said all that because I am proud of the women I am and it insults me that someone would put me in one category of being in a pink bubble because I choose to sell Mary Kay. I started MK 10 Years ago and have worked with one of the best directors in the state of Louisiana. Our unit is in the million dollar unit club and has been since I joined. I have never purchased anymore inventory that I already had an order for or knew I would soon have an order for. Surprise Surprise my Director hasn’t blown me off because of it. She knows what to expect from me all the time. We have a great unit of ladies who are very much like sisters. They hosted the baby shower for my youngest son and he is probably the only boy ever to have a Pink themed baby shower. My boys are the greatest kids and I couldn’t be more proud to be their mother.

Ok now I’m gonna cry so that’s it…just a little about me.
