Stepping off the curb
You know how sometimes you're about to walk into an interview, or your first day of school/work, or to go on a date, or... etc... and you hesitate on that first step? It's a big deal to start walking into that new page of your story. There are butterflies in your stomach, and you have to remember to catch your breath sometimes.
I'm having some serious feelings just like those.
Matt and I have been talking about some different ideas that I've had about starting some sort of income from home. I've felt bad that I stopped doing my one day a week at the chiropractor's office, even though that was only bringing in like $20 bucks a week. Matt is the hardest working guy I know, and he doesn't complain about having to be at work every spare moment he has in between juggling school, homework, and his calling in the bishopric. (He follows after his dad that way.) I'm not saying that I have loads of extra time now that I'm just home with Jaden all week- because believe you me, I can definitely stay busy. My project list multiplies faster than it subtracts. My super dude is getting busier by the minute, and the more mobile he gets, the more trouble he finds.
I want to be able to help us out financially and so I've been thinking a lot about what I can do. The past few days I keep thinking of Jamberry... which initially sounds like a terrible idea. I've always been the first person to condemn sales jobs of any sort, but especially the pyramid scheme sort. Matt has always been the second. Imagine my surprise when he was open, and actually encouraging of the idea when I brought it up. (Granted, that may be from his lack of mental clarity from wisdom teeth removals....)
I'm going to try my hand at being a Jamberry Nail Consultant! I'll be starting that the firstish of November, so if anyone is interested in earning some awesome hostess rewards (remember my new wraps I've been posting? Those were all free from hosting a party. :) It was actually really fun too!) then shoot me an email or message on Facebook. (Or insta, or twitter...)
I'm kind of nervous because those of you who know me, know two things about me. I'm occasionally a total pushover, and I'm a HUGE people pleaser. ("Oh, you don't want to buy this awesome NHS membership? That's ok, I don't blame you!" "Hey, no worries, I'd go for the cheaper brand of running shoes too..." "Ya know, I bet you could find something similar at *name of alternate store* for a little bit less...") Hence, my less than enthusiastic outlook for sales. The thing is, I know I am capable of doing this, and so I am. I've been dying to have some sort of hobby that didn't cost me too much- I guess I've found one that- in theory- will pay me! Three cheers for moneys.
Good luck sweet girl. I hope everything goes well for you....
