MoGilly is Driving Her Husband Crazy! Get on the Crazy Train. Woo-Woo!

Okay, so the other day I had a conversation with Mike that did not go well. And I knew it wasn't going to go well because he started the conversation with, "You know what your problem is?"

And as I've mentioned before, that's not the best way to open up a dialog with me.

So it seems as though my "problem" according to my dear, sweet, misguided husband is that I have commitment issues. This from the man I've been married to for the past 15 years. A man, whom I have NEVER cheated on -EVER- and I have been with him for over a decade and a half! And believe me, that show of commitment is QUITE the accomplishment on my part. Prior to Mike, my longest relationship was 2 months. 2 MONTHS! So 15 years is, like, a thousand lifetimes for me.

I have two children with this man (one is a teenager in full hormonal upswing) and though I have thought about running away from home many, many, MANY times, I have remained "committed" to my family.

I was insulted by his observation.

Now, is it true that I believe I would make a good spokesperson for Adult ADD? Absolutely. But where's my cred? Where's my props for being a devoted wife and mother all these years?

Guess what? Those years of devotion count for NADA. Turns out, what the hubster MEANT to say was, "Why don't you get a real job?"

I felt like I had been sucker punched.

You see, I have a Bachelor's Degree in Business. I was in the Tennessee National Guard when I met my husband. I had plans for my career which I gave up when I met Mike because he got stationed in Okinawa. We have moved every 2 and half years (or less) since the day we married. And though he has had opportunities for advancement and travel and career success, I have been the one left behind. When he has had shift changes, I'm the one to make arrangements to get the kids where they need to be. When he's deployed and the kids are sick, I'm the one who took off work to get them to the doctor and stay with them at home. There's not a whole lot of career opportunities when you have a spotty resume and your husband's job moves you to the middle of nowhere.

I wanted to punch the man in the throat. And I realize, that's probably not the most loving thing for a wife to do. So, I did the next best thing.

I signed up for every legitimate direct-sale opportunity I could proudly represent.

I made the commitment to not commit to any one thing.

Ladies, I'll be bringing you beauty products, storage solutions, baby products, aromatherapy items and jewelry, jewelry, jewelry from companies like Warm Spirit, Tupperware, Baby Splendor, Park Lane, Silpada and more. I won't be representing only one good company, I'll be bringing you the best of the best direct online for your convenience.

And why have I chosen to go this route? Well, obviously these are quality products that I'd buy anyway - I don't want my name associated with anything other than a quality product and a solid reputation. And, let's be honest, by signing up as a representative I get free stuff and my friends get free stuff just by putting their names on my online parties. But, more importantly, Mike doesn't see direct-selling as a "real job" so this affords me the opportunity to stick-it-to-the-man and prove him wrong, once again.

So shop if you want to, or don't. No pressure. But know this, if a tube of lipstick or a face cream or a pair of silver earrings affords one woman the opportunity to turn to her husband and say, "Suck it! I did it my way!" doesn't that make it all worthwhile?

Go ahead and check out these sites. I'll be bringing you more soon.
