Life’s Never Ending Story

How many of us have always known what we wanted to do or be when we grow up? I don’t really know of many people who would say an over worked and under valued mom. However, here I am!! Don’t get me wrong I love what I do on most days. Then add in Covid the year of 2020 and my jump into healthcare.

My kids are my entire life and definitely the 5 reasons for my success. Do I feel successful? Well, some days yes and some days not so much. I have been scrutinized for pulling my kids out of the normal public school system and have put them into a public cyber school. Which doesn’t seem like that big of a deal considering most schools are already forced to be virtual. Little did I realize I am the talk of the family. Of course what else did I expect nothing in my life has been done the normal way. I still don’t really know what I want to be when I grow up and I am in my thirties.

This year started off really good for my family and I. In December of 2019 while my kids were on holiday break I got my big break into the healthcare field as a personal aide for adolescent children. Basically, all I did was care for an individual and help them with their mobility and helping them from class to class. It was great until Covid came to town. If I would have known that would have been my last day with my individual and classmates I would have soaked up that time more. I never would have thought we would have ended up in a shutdown that lasted from March until late August. So during that time I decided that I couldn’t just sit still and not contribute something to my family. So I entered into the realm of network marketing and owning the fact that it is in fact a business.

Now, I have dabbled into network marketing before but this is way different than peddling Avon from door to door. People actually don’t even open up when you knock or ring their doorbells. So you have to reach them through social media. Let me tell you what!! People hate network marketers and anything that you have to say. I have done sales before and I know all about the hundred no’s that you get before one person says yes. Then factor in a crumbling economy all because of businesses being shutdown, people are out of work, and their money is being spent on toilet paper and bills. That was just shutdown number 1 now the real fun begins with a looming possibility of another nationwide shutdown and I am back in healthcare as a personal care aide in a geriatric facility!! There is bound to be some hilliarious stories to be told.

Also, I am hoping that through my stories you will find out more about who I am as I find out more about who I am. I sure thought 30 was old now I am realizing that is when living starts to mean more. Maybe, it is because I am watching my parents decline so I feel my own mortality more than ever. Here is to hoping 2020 ends soon and 2021 is a better year. Maybe, I might find out what I want to be when I grow up. So far I know that I am happy and that I have a very blessed life with healthy children and a great life partner.

Until next time luv ya💜
