Hi.  Sorry I didn't publish yesterday.  A) I was sick and Robin needed time to catch up.
Drama, drama, drama.  Our house is full of drama.  I used to think that teenagers were the all time masters of drama, but now that I've been involved in network marketing, I'm not so sure teenagers have the market cornered.

The people that are really into network marketing are often very dynamic.  They get excited, they are enthusiastic.  Their sparks can get everyone fired up.  Leaders need to be up constantly because they set the tone for everyone else.  Robin often comes out of his office just totally pumped because so and so signed up or the company is offering such and such and we are already qualified!  Wow!  Okay, half the time I don't know specifically what he is talking about, but I don't want to take the wind out of his sails, so I just give my standard "That's great honey."  (Later I have to ask who it is or just look it up on the internet.)  But that look in his face always seems really familiar, then I realized, it's the same look I get from my teenage daughters when they meet a new guy! "Mom, there was  really hot guy in school.  I've never seen him before, but he's really cust and he talked to me!" My response to them is pretty much the same "that's nice honey."  I guess a high is a high no matter where it comes from. 

Of course, what goes up, must come down and amongst themselves, leaders can often have very different ideas about what a company should or should not be doing.  The truth is there is often a lot at stake.  After all, if your leaders don't like what's going on, they can pull themselves AND their downlines out of one company and put them in another.  These discussions go on all the time, particularly in newer companies.  So, sometimes Robin comes out of his office, again totally pumped, but this time it is "So and so--I don't know what they are thinking.  This will never work and on and on."  Again, I it seems like I've heard this before--oh yeah, teenage girls (some of the most vicious creatures on the planet) going after each other, arguing over boys, other friends, the color of the sky (you fill on the blank).  Of course, in both cases, two hours later it's like it never happened and everything is right with the world again!

For those of us on the sidelines, it is sometime hard to do much but just roll your eyes, but hey, we have to get our entertainment somehow!  Besides trying to say anything good, bad or indifferent is usually met with a "you just don't understand" look.    I just remember that life never says the same.  The ups and downs will always be around, we just have to learn to ride the roller coaster.

Thanks for reading!
