Almost 2 Months Later...

A lot has been going on for us, and a lot hasn't been going on. I've taken a short break from Avon because I was starting to get depressed about it, my anxiety was going through the roof because of my "helper" not listening, and I haven't been able to keep my head straight when it came to it. It's been a couple of months since I posted here or talked on the team Facebook page, but I had to distance myself to get my mind back where I need it to be to do it. I also

New Year, New Me

Well, here we are. The holidays are finally over, but now it’s time for everyone to start “working” on their New Year’s resolutions. For some, it will go the same way it does every year: we have good intentions, but abandon them for the good old comfort of what they are use to. For some, they will get through the first couple of weeks, then decide what they wanted isn’t happening as fast as they wanted it to, then give up. Finally there are going to be those who stick with their resolutions either for themselves, their kids, or because their choices are do it or face something even harder. I plan on being part of the third group this year, after talking about it for so long.

Week of Fun, Spoilage, and Relaxing

There was a lot going on this past week. It was also a good week thanks to it all.

Tuesday

For me, I don't ask for much because there isn't much I actually want. Any time I want something, I have been blessed with a family who come through for me and get it for me even if I don't ask for it. With all the crap that has been going on around here this year, they still don't make an exception.

On Tuesday after I had made my last post, a package came in for my brother. I happen to be getting ready to leave and texting with a customer when the FedEx driver showed up, so I grabbed the box, put it in the car and took off. I took note that the bottom of the box was slightly open, let my brother know about it, and moved on because I didn't really have time for it since I had just decided to stop by and see my customer before picking up Midget, and it was almost 2:30.

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Karen's Escapade!

I want to tell you a little about me, and a little about this blog. 

I am a mother, wife, diabetic, and an Avon Representative. While going through many adventures in my life so far, I unfortunately have picked up some issues like depression and anxiety. My husband and children have been helping me manage these for years, but earlier this year, it became worse than normal. I really didn't have any friends I talked to (just Facebook stalked and liked pictures and statuses every once in a while), I didn't leave my house unless I absolutely had to, and I was "burying" myself deeper everyday. I decided I needed a change, and decided to look into what it would take to get back into selling Avon (I sold before in 2008 or so). I began this newest escapade on February 2nd, 2018, with the simple goals of getting out of the house, meeting new people, making friends, and learning the area I have lived in for 9 years and had yet to learn.
