When your child is hurting, we hurt too

When our kids are not ok, we are not ok.  I've been experiencing this strange sadness and anger watching my son navigate this last school year.  When your child is hurting, feeling left out and sad - it hurts us too!  When you are the kind of Mom who tells your child to make sure they are checking on their friend that is going through this a year before, it really ticked me off that the other mom wasn't doing the same when the tables were turned.

It's been crazy to me talking to other parent's though and hearing about how their so many other kids are experiencing similar things & having been dropped like a hot potato by their "friends" too.

Fake friends is what my son has called them this past school year.  It's just very disheartening to have watched your child grow up with these boys who you thought were good kids, kind kids. 

I couldn't bring myself to go to any graduation parties for any of these kids that I've loved for all these years.  Watching my son spiral in depression and staying home all school year.  I just couldn't bring myself to go.  Especially when he wasn't invited and going himself.  

I sit here trying not to wish these kids would experience the kind of lonliness that I've been watching since September, but I really just can't help it. 

I was so ready for the school year to be over, but now it's summer & damn social media still shows you what you're not invited too.  It's easy to say they're fake friends, but it still hurts to be left out.  Helpless is how you feel as a mother because you can't make people be nice and inclusive.  Parenting is hard!

Finally ging to name my Scentsy business!

 After almost 15 years, I've decided to name my Scentsy business!  This is one thing I consistenty have loved and used, sold more than not since I was first introduced to Scentsy in 2009!

I'm having YOU put in your vote for my new business name & when you do, you're in the drawing for a FREE FULL SIZE Scentsy warmer from me!  

I'd love to have you join my VIP page on Facebook as well!  See new products, learn about Scentsy and all the great reasons to use Scentsy in your home.  It's crazy how much it's grown and the number of product lines we have in addition to warmers and wax since I started! You can always shop with me too or just browse.

I'm just a mom trying to help support our love of animals (we have 3 dogs & 7 cats) and sending my son to college.  I still can't believe he just graduated high school!  Your support means the world to me!
