My Wife Stepped Up To The Plate

Life is tough, I admit it. I have failed more times than I have had success.  I had to give up working because of ill health, Type 1 Diabetes was killing me. My wife had the "Good Fortune" of watching me through the years slowly disappear, more hospital, more medication, less time to live. I got a call in to the Doctors offce on a Saturday a few years ago when we lived up in North Yorkshire, he laid it out for me and it was devestating, not just for me, but more for my wife and the kids we had at the time. I had to stop working, for me that was traumatising because this was the SECOND time that Type 1 Diabetes ended my Job Prospects. BUT Financially it hit the family as well. Because I get an Army Pension it means that my wife and myself are NOT entitled toveteran_badge any Govt Support. You can imagine the stress this has put upon our life, our family and the way we lived. SO Not only was life starting to get really tough, my wife had to consider that I would die and she would be without me as well.  Out of no where her mum said she wanted us down with her so that my wife had family around her when I passed away. Being alive and having to contemplate that was some of the hardest emotions that anyone has to go through. She could have thrown in the towel at any point, but she didn't and we are still together, still annoying the crap out of each other. BUT Still pushing forward. In August 2015 I was introduced to a Healthy Coffee called SlimRoast from Valentus. (http://ift.tt/1QsMG2B) and in one month it changed my whole life. I had more energy, more get up and go, lot more active and a lot more focus, my wife hadn't seen this side of me. My Bayer Blood Testing Machine was showing results that none of us had ever seen, the Diabetic Team were shocked at the 100% Turn around in my Diabetic Control. My wife and I spoke at great lengths about what I was doing and she said I HAD to take this on full time and make SlimRoast part of my daily routine. I have done this every day now, and I will continue to do this everyday for the rest of my life. Because of what I was going through, we both kinda forgot about ourselves. When the kids need, they get, when they want, they get, if we want them to get something they get it. We have on many occassions went out to do our own shopping and ended up spending it all on the kids, guilt at buying ourselves things is always a factor when it comes to us. My wife got a chest infection a few months ago, she was rushed into the Hospital. They gave her a medication that she was allergic to and she had a really bad reaction to it, infact the Hospital phoned me and requested me to be there because my wife might DIE and this would be the last time I would ever see her. I wanted to be there, but they said that even though I would be there, I wouldn't be able to see her because of what was going on, I just had to be on hand. I explained that I was only 7 minutes away and that I had the kids. I was told, the next time we call, PICK UP and be here within that 7 Minutes, you might never get to see your wife again. I never felt so alone in all my life, now I could see what she was facing all them years and it was right here on my doorstep. I had to talk to the kids, not saying too much but  just enough to make them stop and think. Her friends on facebook I had to reply to their posts, I actually setup one main post and kept them all updated with what was going on, many went in to see her and make sure she was alright. Eventually when she got out the hospital, she got back in to life the way it was before. I let her settle down in the house, but nothing with her had changed, she didn't know about any of it because she was on Morphine and out of most of it. The ONLY reason she was as calm as she was is because she watches the Trauma programs on TV, so she wasn't alerted lol. We got into an argument over something stupid, I can't even remember what it was, but I was disappointed in her that she didn't care what had happened and nothing had changed. I asked her, do you know what happened and the events around it? She said "No", so I set up her Laptop. Loaded up the conversations from when she was in, and loaded up the post that I kept everyone updated with. I TOLD her to read that and to sit there and think about how she is being with me, if I deserved it. I made her a cup of tea, and left her alone for an hour or so. When I went back to see how she was doing she was crying. She knew she had got an allergic reaction but she didn't know about anything else, she could see from the time stamps on facebook, the private PM's from friends etc what was happening, when it was happening and how close she came to not being here anymore. I have to admit, there was an instant change in her, with her attitude and the way she was treating me. She is still the same but she was a bit more cautious with her words. A few days later I had to go into town to get some money out the bank, we went during school hours so we had quiet time away from the kids, I got my money and we were walking past the department store, i asked her if she wanted to go in and have a look to kill some time and she said yes. We went inside and we were looking around, she looked at a few things and picked them up, tried them for size etc, by the time we had walked round the shop I was carrying a LOT OF CLOTHES, she kept on saying "I don't want them, we can't afford it" "You can't spend that on me" and other profanities. We won't think twice at spending £70 on some trainers for my kids, but we wont spend £10 on ourselves. It's a mindset we have always had, the kids come first. That day, for the first time ever since I met her, I didn't listen to her. All the money I took out the bank, she spent it that day. Not a single thought of Guilt crossed my mind. ALL these years and we never do anything for ourselves, the kids always get, and to be honest they don't always deserve it. Once a month she goes to her friends makeup party and buys the usual. However there is a few complaints about the quality, the sore eyes, the wearing off really quick. Then one evening as we were chilling out, she was on facebook and she started to talk about 3D Lashes, my eldest daughter was there and the two of them were engrossed and excited about it, how good it would be if they could get it, maybe if they save up maybe if they could justify buying it. £30 for some Mascara, it did take me aback for a second. I had a look around the site and mentioned the price to my wife and daughter, i think they were shocked I was actually on the site lol. However I did mention that they had a Presenter Kit and that they could join it and get over £175 worth of makeup for £69. In anyones eyes that is a good deal, however trying to justify spending that amount on herself she just rejected the idea. So I asked her, look at what you buy now, look at the quality and look at what it does for you. Now what if this make up makes a difference, not only in how you feel about yourself, but how you look and it really makes a difference to you. Younique Presenter KitMy wife and daughter spent the next few hours working it all out and for that price, they could get really good makeup at a really good price. I told my wife to do a search on it, and find people near us who were using it. She did  find a few and she spoke with them, but one women in particular she connected with who lives a few towns away from us she clicked. She sent her link and I asked if I could "SEE" it, and when she sent me it, I ordered her the kit. She went NUTS with me, started to get real pissed at me cause I had spent that amount of money on her, we had the kids this and the kids that. There is FOOD on the table, there is Petrol in the car, there is everything around us that we need and want. I am sick to death of handing over everything and getting nothing in return from my kids, not even the dishes, or a clothes wash, or using the vacuum hoover. Too right I wanted to spend this. Not only because I wanted her to have something for herself, but because I almost lost her, and to think about life without her and to try and accept that it might happen. Honestly I wanted her to be spoiled and treated. Not only with the clothes shopping but with something she actually wants. I did sit the girls down, we have 3 and I kindly explained "BACK OFF", let mum have this because this is for her, you will gain from it, but this is for mum, let her have it and leave her alone to enjoy something for herself just this ONCE. They actually did listen to me and they have. The next day we woke up, got the kids to school and the girl I bought the  makeup through contacted my wife. I bought it through her name so she was the one who owned the account. The girl explained who she was and what she did with Younique, and wanted to meet up with my wife. I encouraged my wife to go and meetup with her, I drove her over and dropped her off, then I came home, a few hours later I got a call, can you pick me up. The anticipation of that meet up was driving me insane, I wanted to be there but i didnt as i wanted her to meet with this Rep. They got on brilliantly together. Lots in common and a NORMAL person, she explained to her that the Presenter Kit she bought also meant that she could share with others and earn free make up.  She was WOW, I can do this, I can do that. So I read over the site for her, I did a google search for her, I search on Facebook and searched out what her upline was doing. Since moving down here from Selby I have been online, so this looked like a really good opportunity for my wife to do something for herself for a change. Like anyone doing something new, she is hesitant, but we can't start something new as an expert and there has to be a learning curve with it. I admit because of who I am I got excited for her and as a gift from me I have bought her http://ift.tt/2e8vFxM not because she needs it, or actually wants it, but because it's something unique from me that she can't get from anyone else. You don't need to have your own domain, it isn't necessary because what I found out is that Younique is a Social Media Home Based System and that works perfectly well for what is required. She has been invited to a Conference in London, which I really encouraged her to go to, so she has bought her ticket and travel for it. Going to these Network Marketing Company Meetups is great because you get to meet other like minded Ladies who just want a bit of me time, away from family, kids, even partners and all that. There is a record number of ladies joining to get the Presenter kit! I can't blame them, it's SUCH a bargain.  So if you do buy makeup and you wanted a really good deal you can grab a bargain with Younique, also did you know that if you decide to become a Younique Presenter you don't have a contract!?
