Opinionated, are we?

Hey everyone. I am sooo sorry I havn't posted in like, a century!

Just wanted to let you know that I've gotten set up with Avon and am starting to sell. I am working towards so many goals in the company and need as many sales and recruits as possible. So if you would like to look through a brochure and order, you can go online to my site http://www.youravon.com/amberwilkerson and click on the tab near the top that says 'Shop Avon'...or if you know anyone that would like to sign up...PLEASE send them my way. It only costs $20 to sign up online and you will recieve a starter kit in the mail within that same week! And unlike Mary Kay, you don't have to have an inventory (however I've already found that it helps haha)

Tucker is doing great, he is getting so big and was saying 'horsey' on Sunday. It was cute because it sounded like he was saying 'oh shit' lol. But we figured it out and got him a little closer to pronouncing it correctly. We took him to the dinosour museum there in Hays and he was kind of 50/50 with it. He didn't like the big skeletons or the life size moving dinosours, but he did enjoy all the other little stuff and the fake animals. It was cute. He wouldn't let go of Nate for anything!

I have FINALLY recieved my items to begin making one of my craft projects...however I havn't started it yet. lol. It should really only take 1 day to complete..but I have no pretty bags to use for shipping so I'm not in to big of a hurry.

On Monday, July 6th we have a meeting to sign the papers on the house, and it's ours. I believe our in-laws will be moving out that day also...so it's going to be fantastic!!! lol. I'm excited and can't wait. We've already got the bill sswitched over and everything...so yea! yay!!!!!

Ugh, so all afternoon I sat at the computer and researching different websites looking to put in the cheapest 'order' I could for my craft supplies in order to try and get my business going. I mean, I put in like 4 hours doing this and had a very nice sized order ready, for real cheap...like $100...Then Nate got home and said that we can't put on in this week bacause his check sucked this week, I was soooo bummed. It wasn't even at the fact that I'd spent so much time on it, but more at the fact that I knew another week was getting ready to pass where I was about to loose my mind because I had nothing to do. Grrr...So after having a short cry session, and cleaning the kitchen, I jumped right back on the computer, looking for jobs from home. Well I found all kinds of tellecommunication jobs (which 90% of are scams) and a few blogging jobs...Still nothing that would pay well enough to support and start up my craft business...Then I remembered, AVON...I never took the AVON opportunity becuase I never wanted to go door to door selling a product...but I'm wanting to do my craft business online, why not do AVON online too? I don't know how well it will go over, hopefully well enough to make a little cash and start of my crafts....I sure hope this works out...

Thank you MzzLily & DJan. I appreciate your comments. We have however taken parenting classes and have given the class graduation certificates to srs and the judge for copies...We have done everything they asked...

• Random UAs
• me go back to school
• baby proof the house
• have someone inspect the house
• me go to therapy ever 2 weeks
• us find a place of our own (we are buying Nate's rents house)
• send weekly paystubs for proof of income and that we can support our family
• have a list of everything we have for Tucker
• have a room set up for Tucker
• be to every visit, every other weekend
• be to every court date
• give monthly budgets
• save and send every reciept we spend a dime on
• Pay $225/month child support.....and the list goes on.

We have jumped through every hoop and have gotten basically no where. And yes, we have an attorny...who is basically worthless.

I spoke with my mother today, I kindly let her know that I didn't trust her & I knew some of the things she was up to in tryin to skrew us out of having Tucker. She kept trying to deny it as usual and like her normal self, twist my words and cause an argument....however, she didn't succeed. I just kept telling her that I didn't want to talk about it and soon she just stoped talking to me all together.

Nate and I have decided that we will no longer go up on Saturday nights and stay the night at her house to have more time with Tucker since we can't have our 'unsupervised visit' till Sundays anyway. We will leave Sunday mornings, drive the 3 hours to get him, take him out to eat, shop & play, and take him back to moms and head home. That way we have minimal time around her and she has less that she can twist or use against us.

As for myself. Today, I have de-stressed a lot...I could have a lot more, but I didn't have too much to do. I could have worked on the quilt, but I am afraid I will run out of fabric so I will wait until Friday when we buy more, and continue to work on it this weekend or next week. My soap supplies should be here within the next few days, so that is killing me on waiting for. haha. I will immediatly start making them so I can set them up online and start selling...And of course, you will be the first to know! I looked around today and have found another idea for an item. I will try my hand in Pincushion Jars. I will begin ordering the stuff for that on Friday also...

Besides all that, I will get off here for now. I will leave a post tomarrow...Thank you all again and I hope you are having a better time in life right now than I am...

FYI: I will probably post this a few times a week - If you would like to help me out without hurting yourself, all help is welcome, but the easiest for you would be to click those ads by google to the right and down the page a little...That is my AdSense. I am hoping to get a little cash that way to to help with my crafts and everything. It would DEFINITELY be e appreciated.

Hey you all...How's it going today? It is HOT HOT HOT here...so I am spending my day inside for most of it. I have gotten more work on the quilt done. I've had a heck of time on it so far. I woke up early with Nathan as he had to get ready for work so around 8:30am I started working on the quilt. It was about 9:10am when I broke my first needle on my machine. Ugh. I was freaking out because it was my great grandmothers machine and I wasn't sure if anyone would have the right needles for it. I went to 2 craft and sewing shops before deciding to bite the bullet and go to Wal*Mart. I was in luck. Unfortinately they were $2.11 for 4 needles...but they work great...Here is how far I've gotten so far...

Just thought that I would let you all know, I have ordered the supplies I need to make for the Single Use Soaps...They should be all here by the end of next week. I am starting a new project now though, I am making a quilt...Hopefully to be a queen sized. I'm not 100% sure yet and am still working on just the first row...I will post pictures of the progress, this is all I have so far.
