So other then starting the week with a nasty allergic reaction to something, that we still don't know what it is from, this week has been pretty fantastic. So here's the highlights!
Scentsy is booming!! I have two new team members this week, and I am so excited. I have order's coming in, I've sent samples and thank you cards to each person that's placed an order last month and this month. Things are starting to fall into place and I love it! When I signed up, I signed up just because I wanted to support my "habit". Now I am booking party's, growing my team, and loving every minute of it! It help's so much when you are on a team that's like a family and so supportive. I ♥ my Scentsy family and I am glad that it is growing!
Things with G are improving ALOT, she is now on her 2 week break from school, but she has went 8 whole school day's in row with no problems. She seems happier, shes listening better and I don't want to pull my hair out anymore...lol It has been a frustrating for us as parents to watch her struggle, because she really is such a sweet kid. She is so ready to go back to cheering, I felt horrible last weekend when her best friend was competing, and she wanted nothing more then to be there. Less then 2 month's til the new season starts, and I am not going to lie, I am just as ready to be back with my "cheer mom besties" as she is to be back with her bestie!
Were down to less then 2 weeks til K leaves for her big band trip to cali, yes I am letting my daughter fly across the country with 110 other students, parents, and staff to compete. It a huge honor to be in a band that takes trips like that, and I am so glad she is getting to experience this. One of my very best friend's is going, so that makes me feel much better! Then she comes home, and is going on a mission trip to NYC for spring break. I'm hoping that she will be humbled at how little some people actually have, and realize that not every person wears 75$ jeans from the mall.
And finally HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY!! 9 year's ago today B and I went out for the very first time, and we have been together ever since. He is having a really pretty Celtic cross redone for me, and I thought that was sweet :)
Hope you all have had a great week, I will be much better at blogging this week, promise- and yes I know that I said that last week too :)

Meds update
We have had a pretty eventful week at our house. Eventful = a whole lot of changes and craziness. Most of you that read my blog know that we are doing intense behavior mod with our youngest. Well right now she needs something to keep her calmer as we do this. I am not a big fan of meds, neither is her school or her dr. But we all decided that if it was going to help her to calm down to do the behavior mod that we would try them for awhile. So that's where we are at. So far we are seeing improvements, so that's a plus.
I guess it's just really hard as a Mom to watch my baby struggling. She's a really good kid and has a really good heart. So this has been super hard on all of us!

And here we go for the week!
Another week is here, another week full of lots of things to get done. I have my Thirty One open house this week, and truthfully I am terrified that not alot of people are going to there. I'm also for some silly reason, even though I only joined Scentsty because of how much I ordered- I REALLY want to hit that 500$ of sales in the 1st 15 days!!
Today is little one's first counseling appointment, and well I am scared for her. I am worried that things are not going to improve and she is going to need meds. But I will say this weekend, that we did use alot of time out for her target behaviors- No hitting, cursing, are the main two right now. And normally time out is a battle. It started out hard, and by the end of the weekend she wasn't happy, but she was going. So that's a sign in the right direction.
Hope you all have a great week :)

Happy Birthday Kate, Being the parent of a child with Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Thank Goodness the Spring Catalog has come out!
This has probably been one of the hardest weeks of my life. We are starting intense treatment for my 7 year old. It's really hard, and I really feel alone in it. Her Dad understands, and some of my friends understand. But not everyone understands. And the people that think they understand, want to sit around my office and talk about how if I was consistent with my parenting, and set limit's then maybe my family wouldn't be going through this. And say things like I am using this to come and go as I please, REALLY PEOPLE, do you think that I want this for my daughter. Because I don't, but do I want to put in the time with her so that she can get better, of course I do. What I really would like is for people to mind their own business. If you can't be supportive, then by all means just don't say anything at all. So on to happier things-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY AMAZING NOW 15 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER!! I can't believe how fast the time has went. I'm really proud of all the things that she is doing with her life, and the good choices she is making. I am sure that we are going to get things with G under control, and that she will follow in her sister's footsteps- at least at school, because at home she still has the normal typical smart mouth teenage attitude! I am very, very blessed to have to amazing and wonderful daughter's- they really are my whole life!

This is a VERY old picture, but it's the only one that I on my computer right now :)
In other exciting news, Thirty One's new Spring Catalog came out yesterday, you can take a look off of my website- Spring Catalog! I am super excited about it, and I am hoping that this will be a successful season for me with Thirty One, my "regular" job is not being very pleasant about having to work around G's appt's, even though I am approved for FMLA. So I am praying that I start doing really well. I am having a birthday/housewarming/open house next week, and I really hope that I have a good turn out.
