A new challenge

I have been trying to decide for a while about a new business endevour. If you know me, you know I would love to start/own my own business. That unfortunately takes more money than I have or loans I can't really get. So I have been looking into a work from home solution. Through word of mouth and the Internet I found a company called Stella and Dot. It's a newish company that sells jewelry through catalogs, online shopping, and parties led by stylists. I am of course a bit hesitant. When looking into doing something like this you hear things like pyramid scheme and scam. After doing quite a bit of research and looking at the companies business practices and who the owner/investors are I have decided to become a stylist. I am still nervous but really excited about this new endevour.
More to come once my website is up and I am officially a Stella and Dot stylist!

Just a nip and a tuck...

As you all know I had Gastric Bypass surgery a little more than two years ago. I am currently down by about 135 lbs (on a good weigh in morning). The bad does come with the good though. With all that rapid weight loss (not to mention twins) excess skin is the downside. Yale has AMAZING health coverage, not only was the bypass covered but my abdoninoplasty is as well. So in a few short weeks I go under the knife to have my tummy tucked. I am excited but more than anything I am nervous. It's going to be a lot of pain and I have three kids to care for. My mom, sister in law and hubby will be around to help take care of everything so that take a little pressure off, but I worry about what state I will be in. I hope to eventually get a few other body parts covered but those will have to wait until I am no longer nursing.

Fingers crossed everything goes well.

BTW

Asking me if I am excited/happy/relieved that we didn't have triplets is like asking me if I am excited/happy/relieved that I miscarried one of the babies. I was pregnant with triplets, I lost one early. Yes the twins are difficult, yes triplets would have been more difficult, no that doesn't mean I am happy about loosing a baby.
Just saying people!
