Crazy busy times

2009 has started out to be very busy. We've had 2 birthdays and 1 more next week. The girls have started selling Girl Scout cookies. Yesterday we went door to door in our neighborhood. The girls had fun and got the hang of it pretty quick. I thought it was to windy. The wind made my ears hurt. But today is around 60 so I'm sure Shelby will want to knock on some more doors when she gets home from school. Lacey stayed home from school today. She has a 100-101 fever and sore throat. Courtney is still working at Lowe's but we have to take her back and forth. It puts alot of strain on our schedules. It seems to take alot of time out of my day. Also, I have to take her to find a 2nd job, take her to attorney appointments and make sure she is calling to get things lined up. She is so unmotivated and I'm afraid she is going to end up in jail.
Everyone else is doing great. Larry has been working from home alot which I like. He applied for a virtual job within the company but hasn't heard yet. He goes to the fire station every Tuesday. He's been on 2 structure fires in the last couple of months. He loves those fire calls. I'm still selling Avon and doing pretty good with that. I have about 20 regular customers. The Pampered Chef thing is going kind of slow. I need to make some calls and get some shows scheduled. I start back with the riding center on Jan. 30th. I'm looking forward to being back out there. Koty is better now that they have rearranged his schedule at school. He seems less stressed. He helps out at home and behaving. Shelby is doing great in school. She is in an advanced math class that she loves. Her report is pretty much A's. Lacey is loving school but doesn't want to practice her sight words. She wants to read but doesn't want to take the time to learn the letters, sounds and words.
I've decided to trace my family history and Larry's also. I've been researching geneology. It's very interesting and we are hoping to get a subscription to Ancestry.com so we can post our family tree. It's so exciting. I've have some information from my mom and her search. It goes back to my great great grandfather who lived in the early 1800. Can't wait to find out more.
