Another one of those people

That bugs the crap out of me! Why are people like that?

Of course some people in our region (which is what our area is called) tell their teams to solicit new customers at CHURCH ! I told my leader straight up that that wasn't for me - I do not go to church to sell PartyLite! The church secretary knows that I sell it, and she has bought a thing or two - ON HER OWN - as in she calls me. I just think that is sick to mix work and church like that.

A lady and her husband that we go to church with are involved in a company like Amway. Well, hubby and I had just joined the church before Eli came. A few weeks afterwards, my parents came to church with us, and were talking with another couple that we are friends with. Well this lady butts into the conversation and asks where we are going to lunch -- so she and her hubby came with us (mind you I had NO idea at the time what she did). She kept asking me if she could come visit me and see the baby -- I just thought she was being polite and wanted to get to know us. Next day she shows up with a "gift" -- yeah, her gift was some baby-cleaning crap that was supposed to get stains out of clothes (it didn't). She was so rude and kept asking how much money we made since I'm a stay-at-home-mom. I was royally pissed off. I tried to get rid of her by saying "well, thanks for dropping by, but I need to go nurse Eli now" -- she said "GO AHEAD - I don't mind" -- YES - she invited herself to stay there while I nursed (okay, granted I have no modesty, and I really don't care who is around while I nurse, but still - that's my decision to make - not hers!) -- finally I got rid of her when she held Eli and he pooped all over her - I have never laughed so hard.

Long story short - church is God & me time -- not solicit your fellow church members time!
