A Time to say Good-bye
29 March 2015
Good Morning wonderful world
Well as you can see by the title of this blog, there are going to be good-bye's said.
It is time to say good-bye to this blog, I find myself getting busier and busier in my life and well this is one of things that I am giving up.
I am not sure if anybody ever read it and well if I didn't have any readers nothing ventured nothing gained. To say that I am not sad to see the blog go is a lie because I have enjoyed the journey we have taken.
So with that being said, I bid you a fond farewell and it may get picked up later but at this point it is going to stop.

Tupperware
12/3/2015
Good Morning and how are you today?
I have a thing for Tupperware, my cupboards are overflowing with it and I want more. My "thing" has even got to the point where I am considering becoming a demonstrator.
Now I have been thinking about this for a while and well it kinda does make sense being that I have two children - so the need to work school hours is important, weekend work is somewhat a bit difficult but it could be arranged so that it is at night so that there is not much disruption to family life and well the goal would be to get enough money each week to be able to keep me dressed in the style I prefer ( I would much rather be dressed like I just stepped out of a magazine from the 1950's).
With the kids doing their sports and the training I need to be able to work around them plus I have a regular cleaning job so I want to be able to keep that up plus my P&C commitments. All logic is pointing to the this being a great idea, but there is the thought in the back of my mind "What if......" hmm maybe I need to think about it some more before I commit. I never used to be like this I would always make a decision and then do it, act first think about it later, it would be very nice to be able to pay for a holiday or have the credit card payed off. It would be nice to have a job that is three days a week and I know that I can drop the kids off and pick them up, not miss the sports practice.
After reading that it is clear that doing this would allow me to do all of those things but I just can't get past the " What if I get no parties" and that is the bread and butter of Tupperware - of all party plan, it is getting parties to keep the "business' going.
What do you think? I have these great ideas, and they just don't seem to work out even when it is a product that I love or something that I enjoy doing.
I am going to go and have a coffee and clean my house, a clear head will help and I may come up with the solution without really trying

Does absence make the heart fonder???
9?3?2015
Hello in there it is me out here,
Yes I have been gone for a while, did you miss me?
Hmm I better explain why I have been gone for so long.
I have been trying to gain employment now that is not as hard as it sounds but I will put it this way I was even turned down by McDonalds.
Yes it is true I think the fact that I could only work Monday - Friday during school hours has something to do with it and while I accept that what I don't accept is the fact being a mother, Darren and I decided that I would stay home and be the primary care giver.
Now running a house, looking after two children ( who are not even 12 months apart) doesn't seem to qualify me for much, what is even worse when I went online to see how much I would be worth pay wise, I was asked to check my spelling and make sure it was a real job. Now at this point being that McDonalds didn't want me, the website asked me if being a mother and housewife was a real job I did what any self respecting person did. I had a damn good cry, picked myself up and set to work printing out resumes and handing them out, I had one place suggest I go back to TAFE ( junior college) and get a extra qualification, I had we will keep it on file and the we are not looking for anybody right now but when we are you will be the first on our list. The applications that I sent in on-line, well I haven't heard back from them what would be nice is a response to say yes we received your application but at this time we don't have any positions available. I even advertised on Gumtree to do house cleaning, so far I have had three people contact me two cancelled and I haven't heard back from the third person. So it is not like I am not applying for work but even then I still feel like I am not making a contribution.
Yes I know I am looking after two kids and a house, but I like working, I like being able to talk to different people and have my day change and present some challenges to me. I have loved being a stay at home mum but is now time for me to claim back my identity and not just be Carrissa and Oscars Mum. I know it sounds like this is one big whinge session and please do understand that I am grateful for been able to have to opportunity to stay home and look after my children and not have to work until they are in full-time school.
I am not going to give up on finding work, just keep wondering when I am going to catch a break
