Adam looked at me, and said 'what happened to her?' and I don't know. I have my own assumptions, but I'm not sure and I hope it was peaceful for you. Unfortunetly, all I see in my head is you kicking and screaming, telling whoever you met up there that you aren't ready to be there. I bet you didn't get to do your makeup or hair, and you have plans with your family. Today, I cried for you. I cried for your family. Your husband, your children and the life you created.<br />
<br />
I don't know if it was your demons catching up with you, or some sort of freak accident. I don't know anything. I just know you're gone and I see all over social media that it's true and no one can wrap their head around it.<br />
<br />
We didn't meet until we were adults already. I think I was 18 and you must have been 22-23. I looked up to you in a big sister type of way. I watched you grow from a young married girl, to a wife, and I watched you bloom into a mother. I remember taking pictures of her when she finally came. She looks exactly like her dad, she still does. But, the love I saw in your eyes for her was one that I didn't think I'd ever see for you. You didn't want to be the mom type. You never wanted a mini van, or a house full of kids (at least that I knew of during our early 20's). But, once I saw you with her- I knew you were meant to do this job. You drove that mini van, you mommed hard.<br />
<br />
I remember seeing you and your husband at Knox's funeral. Outside the front door of Purdy & Walters, the funeral home. I remember you telling me how sorry you were that he was gone and that you didn't even know what to say. It was honest, and it was the truth, because you guys were people we had gotten close to during that part of our lives. You had your hair down, styled perfectly and you looked so uncomfortable. Your eyebrows and lipstick were perfect, but you didn't know how to handle the overload of emotions. I know it was because you didn't know what to say or do. So you stood silently with me, while I watched the world moving in a blur around me. You handed me a smoke when I wanted it, even if I didn't 'need' it.<br />
<br />
When we lived in Marysville the first time, on the reservation. It ended up being not too far from your dad's house. We would walk, and talk and just chat. Both of us needed a friend and it just worked at the time. Pushing Zoe up and down that road. Talking while we looked at the water in the summer of 2010.<br />
<br />
I'm not one to claim we were best friends. We had our moments where we got to know each other, and we drifted apart too. But, I knew if I needed something I could call you. We would randomly reach out to each other when when we saw something that reminded one of us of the other.<br />
<br />
Tonight, I will hold my girls closer. I let them stay up late. I'm up late nyself blogging in a place no one reads because I can't get you out of my head.<br />
<br />
Dude, we're in our 30's, it shouldn't be our time to go yet. With tears streaming down my face I feel another reminder that life is so precious. It can be cut short in a moment. We will never be able to see if our kids or families know how much we love them.<br />
<br />
I love you, friend. I'm thankful I got to know you and witness some awesome parts of your life. I'm thankful for you being in important parts of mine. From the most unknown part of my heart; I'm so sorry for not reaching out and making sure you were okay. I'm sorry for assuming that you had the help and support you needed. I know your family loves you so much, but love can't stop death.<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It’s been a long while since I’ve seen him in my dreams and it was clear as day. It’s evident that my whole mindset has been spiraling around the idea of him with the loss of Bigfoot. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sometimes when I’m quiet, I wonder where we do go. I know that the elaborate kingdom is the location for us. Where we are greeted by those we love and miss. I just wonder if there has to be something more. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
How is someone so far away, yet so close to our minds. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I can feel him around me some days. Today was hard. It’s been almost 9 years and it still feels like the wound was scrubbed clean and is freshly bleeding after being so close to touching him in my sleep. My chin quivers and my eyes wetten at the thought that I was so close to touching him again, but couldn’t. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For years, I’ve sworn him off. I’ve asked, I’ve prayed and I’ve cried for him to not visit me in my dreams because I just couldn’t take the pain of waking up. I can’t leave him behind anymore. Waking up is only possible because of the two living angels and the man who just sort of ‘gets’ the kind of crazy I have. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Once I awaken from a night with him; the day seems to hurt more. We jump back to my psychotic nightly crying in 2010. I see glimpses of myself then, and I know I’m a stronger woman now. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
How strong am I really if I can’t make it through a day without breaking down after spending a small amount of time with him. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I find myself moody. I’m testy. Touchy even. Nothing is right. No one can do things that are right. Nothing makes me forget about seeing him last night. Every thought, every action reminds me of how close I was to seeing him. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Maybe tonight will bring another visit. I’m not sure I’m ready. </div>

<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Maybe through friends, maybe surfing online you stumbled upon an article about how quick this online clothing company is growing. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Did you see a hashtag on Instagram? Something about #beacauseoflularoe or #lularoe? </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I would bet you know someone who sells the products. It's possible you have a girlfriend who sells it. If you haven't jumped on the LuLaBus yet, maybe you're still trying to figure out exactly why everyone is hooked on the stuff? </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I'm as thrifty is the next mom and I can tell you that in January 2016 when I first stumbled upon LuLaRoe through a friend doing a party online, I wasn't willing to buy anything except for the leggings. I bought a pair of leggings and did a porch pickup of them from a local gal, who I ended up chatting with for almost an hour and it peeked my interests. Since then, I have found that these clothes are so much more than just another expensive clothing brand. There is literally a movement and a culture surrounding these clothes. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">My husband saw a change in me. Instead of wearing Yoga pants and a hoodie everyday, I started wearing leggings with cute tunics, or even a skirt with a cute top. I own dresses, people. THAT is a big deal. I have friends who were introduced around the same time frame, and even though we aren't the same sizes, we share our clothes. We enjoy styling outfits and dressing up. Even if it is just to have a play date. </span></span></span></div>

So, as of February 2017, My husband and I 'on boarded' as retailers for LuLaRoe clothing. My husband has always stood behind me in whatever I choose to do, and after seeing how happy these clothes really can make a person, I knew I needed to be a part of it. The main way that a retailer earns income from selling LuLaRoe is by selling the clothing. Like any other retail business, you buy it at wholesale and then you sell it retail. Pretty simple. Like all direct sales companies, there are of course other ways in the company to earn money. Growing a team of downline retailers to sign up under you, make it so you can earn bonuses and profit sharing from the company. </span></span></span></div>

So back to that first pair of leggings; they are black and gray tie-dye looking leggings and they're labeled Tall/ Curvy. I have found that they are the most comfortable pants I've ever worn! They've held up amazingly and I still have them to the day, well over a year after I bought them. I've worn them for running, working out, yoga and generically just for 'momming'. After I got that first pair of leggings, I took a leap and got a T-shirt. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap;">I can honestly say from the minute I put that shirt on (it had a name! An Irma) I knew there was more to look at with these clothes than just leggings. </span></div>

Before we start, I want to show you where you can grab you new favorite shirt:<br />

<br />
There are so many variations of 'hacks' for LuLaRoe products. Have you tried a classic tee yet?<br />
<br />
My favorite tee shirt is by far the Perfect Tee. I was over in Forks, WA at a friends and she had on a classic tee. Instead of it being worn the traditional way, she went up 2-3 sizes and then wore it backwards.<br />
<br />
Cutest look ever! So, today I tried it. On myself, and my oldest daughter. I grabbed as 3XL for my self, and an XS for her (since she is 9!)<br />
<br />
here is her in an XS classic. backwards, to bring up the neckline, and tied to bring in the waist.<br />
<br />

<br />
It's such a blessing to our whole family.<br />
<br />
One problem with it is that every morning I think 'Oh! There is a (fill in the blank with a style) that would look great with (something I own)'.<br />
<br />
I'm constantly reminding myself I really don't need new clothes!<br />

I was poking around the internet, looking at recipes for Cinco De Mayo. I think we're going to go with tacos, margaritas and chips and dip. Easy peasy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my favorite things is history. In case you didn't know; you should know that I attempted college to become a history teacher, and after doing terrible the very first quarter I realized regular college just wasn't for me. So here I am, running an office and selling clothes! I think it worked out in my favor! </div>

Did you know that Cinco De Mayo is a holiday that is celebrating the Mexican Army's victory over the French at the Battle of the Puebla. This was during the Franco-Mexican War in 1861-1867. It is actually a really minor holiday in Mexico, but has turned into sort of a celebration of Mexican heritage/culture in the US. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

What are you going to do to celebrate Cinco De Mayo in your house? </div>

The Fundraiser this weekend was called the Phe-Fa-Cup!<br />
<br />
I was given a large area to set up all of our LuLaRoe and sell clothing to benefit the family also. Zoe came along in the morning and ended up getting to play on Phenyx's team.<br />
<br />
Look how amazing the raffle prizes are!<br />

Our dressed are literally to die for. I was never a dress person before LuLaRoe. I wore jeans and a tee shirt everyday and never wore dresses or skirts. The first dress I tried on was a Julia, and instantly fell in love with the style! Since then, I've managed to collect at least one of each (I actually have multiple of all the styles!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I also see all over the places people 'closing out/going out of business' in their LLR Business. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Adam and I discussed it long and hard before jumping in, because the rumor of that big ole start up cost is true. We have the space to dedicate to it, and the time (because we make the time) and the love of all the products as well as the culture of the company. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you haven't heard of <span style="font-size: x-large;">LuLaRoe</span>, I'd love to show you what it's about. LuLaRoe is so much more than clothes! It is a <span style="font-size: large;">FAMILY company</span>, which is near and dear to my heart. DeAnne is the woman on a mission who started it all with the maxi skirts she sewed at home and sold to friends, family and neighbors. Eventually the demand got too large for her to make them herself. She<span style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-size: 14px;"> met a pair of dress wholesalers and was inspired to start liquidating end of season dresses to friends and family. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #454545;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">DeAnne believes that</span><span style="font-size: large;"> anyone can sell these products</span><span style="font-size: 14px;">, if they truly want to and they try. I live for our business; I wear it daily, our children wear it daily and it is the most common topic that I discuss with people. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #454545;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Well, we jumped in head first and haven't looked back since. We applied to be retailers on December 9th 2016, and we got our call to place our initial order on January 26th 2017. Boxes arrived on February 1st, and </span><span style="font-size: large;">we have been having a blast</span><span style="font-size: 14px;"> since then!</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When someone says 'I love that sweater!' My answer is never just a quick thank you. I would generally say, 'right? Isn't it amazing? It makes me so happy! I actually sell this style of sweater; let me tell you more about LuLaRoe.' </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>

<div>
This is the first book I've read that touched on the effects of mental illness and marriage/mothering and trying to be yourself in a world that tells you what it wants you to be. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As a mother myself, who has struggled with forms of depression and anxiety it was refreshing to read a story that touched on these topics while keeping the readers attention with some humor and sex appeal. The details in this book were realistic and intriguing even for someone who has some first hand knowledge of the darker points in the book. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Althena is a financially self sufficient woman who married her husband when they were young & deeply in love. After they came to discover her bi-polar disorder as it manifested itself; taking a toll on her marriage as well as her husband's dream of children we watch the turmoil and manic stages her husband is her go to caregiver; even after they adopt their daughter, Clem. Oliver has his own life away from home, meeting his own needs; carnal and otherwise and while Clem is clearly her husband Oliver's daughter Althena has never had to dedicate herself to caring for her. In this story, we see Althena's marriage as it starts, to her constant panic of the 'what if's' which lead into betrayal and her learning what would happen if she had to care for herself. It was a good read, with spicy notes and entertaining visuals. </div>

I get to wipe butts and noses, even when I don't feel like it. I get to pick up poop (animal and human). I get to wipe tears and noses. The payment for this is snuggles at night and happy children who can't wait to see me every day when we spend those brief moments apart.<br />
<br />
I'm writing this because today is especially hard for me. Blaze, the Boston Terrier we added to our family last August, had to be euthanized yesterday.<br />

This breaks my heart, but for more than just the obvious reason. Not only had he become a replacement of our last dog, Sophie; who filled a bit of a void that Knox had left behind when he left but he had also opened Zoe up to loving him like a brother. He came to work with me and the kids (he was one of them!). He started having seizures in December, and they were the worse seizures medical literature describes. He lost all bowel movement, had muscle spasms, lost his mind and wandered around aimlessly for a day or so afterwards until he finally remembered who we were and where he was.<br />

Each seizure landed him in the emergency vet clinic to be treated and we started him in an anti seizure medication in January, which stopped his seizures! We were so relieved to have him back to normal (even though it took about three weeks this time from all the medications that were pumped into him and damage to his brain) from the series of seizures he had on New Year's Day. He hadn't had any seizures since that one until yesterday. This made it even harder to make the decision to put him down. The seizures he had yesterday were so non-stop and severe that at one point to poor guy was so scared he bared his teeth and lunged at me. After talking to our vet who lets me call him at home, the emergency vet and our family we decided the safest thing to do (since he had large doses of sedatives at home to try and stop them at home) would be to euthanize him since his seizures were effecting his quality of life and we couldn't find a cause for them.<br />

My problem with being a mom today is that I woke up my daughter in her bed this morning gently to her sobbing. When she fully woke up so was so distraught about Blaze being gone that she cried all through getting dressed, making breakfast and trying to leave for our day. She kicked things and yelled and was furious when I had to tell her that we couldn't go pick up someone else's dog and bring it to work. She didn't want to go to school, because she feels too sad. This is a girl who lives for school, so it really hit home how bad she was hurting.<br />
<br />
I called my mom (bless that woman) in tears on the way to work because my baby was hurting so badly and I had nothing left in my bag to make her feel better. Death sucks. Death hurts. Death is something a mom can't even fix. Grandma & Papa made it a little better though.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
My Step-dad (who helped my bury Blaze yesterday) offered to come pick her up with my mom and take her to pick a plant to decorate Blaze's spot in their backyard and put rocks around it. So, Zoe went with them this morning. She just got back a little bit ago and is much happier. She 'gave him and his flowers a drink of water' and talked to him. She told him how she missed him. She told him how she loved him. She told him how she was sorry he had seizures that we couldn't stop.<br />

His name is Blaze, and he is our new boston terrier.Dawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01797790542643567026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772876204785695027.post-4458434807089355272012-06-27T08:25:00.000-07:002012-06-27T08:25:00.698-07:00Bring your daughter to work day; every day? How does that even work?<div>
This is a topic I rarely discuss with people; because it seem so irrelevant to my craftiness and life at home. In our house, this is a big deal. Why, you may ask? Because, I work 30-35 hours a week and bring my 4 year old with me everyday. I'm lucky enough to have a wonderful job, working for a wonderful man; my dad. He's allowed me to get back into the workforce and still be a full time mom. He sees his granddaughter almost everyday, and I don't pay for daycare. That said, I haven't found a way to convey the way I really feel about it.<br />
<br />
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I appreciate that I can bring my daughter to work everyday. I also feel stressed out, overwhelmed and discouraged sometimes. My daughter has been labeled the 'productivity killer' by my co-workers (my brothers) and I understand their frustrations. She IS a productivity killer. In my office, we always have snacks, coloring supplies and my daughter has an unbelievable knowledge of tech gear. She can turn on, and load cartoons (from the internet) onto the laptop to play with. She naps in her own office (which she does have) and is learning to be quiet when I answer the company phones. Again; I KNOW I'm lucky. How many working parents have the option to not pay for daycare and see everything their child can do daily? Not many. I missed her first steps, working a corporate type job and her being in daycare. I was laid off from that job when the company closed down and she had just turned 1, I was pregnant with #2 and we made the decision for me to be a stay at home mom until they were in school based on daycare costs. After we lost him, I NEEDED something to do and my dad had the work for me. I came into work on my own schedule; cried at work when I needed to and continued with my day.<br />

Zoe is nearing 5, and with that will start school (of some sort, that is a whole other post!) in the fall. Come October, Piper will be joining us and will start going to work with me while Zoe is in school. I'm thinking that my hours are going to HAVE to be cut back, since managing a newborn and a preschooler will be close to impossible. <br />
<br />
I find that 'quiet time activities' for anytime work well to manage my 4 year old's time currently. I'm probably a terrible mother, but she does watch a movie everyday while I'm at work and then we move onto the other activities.<br />
<br />
As a mother, our struggles are all unique. Not everyone struggles with the same hardships, and many times we can't compare our hardships to anothers.<br />
<br />
As a parent, what is something that you struggle with and how do you manage to cope on a daily basis? </div>Dawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01797790542643567026noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772876204785695027.post-79936587120092351702012-06-26T08:21:00.000-07:002012-06-26T08:21:02.378-07:00Zoe's 1st Horse ShowGrowing up, I chose not to participate in horse shows. Along with the expense of it all (the fancy clothes, the fancy tack, the time, the energy, etc) I was just too lazy. Still to this day I am glad that I had such a level head and didn't care for it.<br />
<br />
Zoe's shown some interest in showing Latte, and a schooling show came up that had a lead-line class. We decided to enter Zoe and her best friend Riley into the show. Kim, from Horse Head Quarters graciously trailered the horses there for us, and arranged a borrowed horse for Riley. <br />
<br />
The girls did great! Though we got there at 11am or so, and planned for their show to start at 12:30pm, they didn't actually show until closer to 3pm. A LONG day with two four years, and two bored horses surrounded by other unknown horses.<br />
