Cookie Booths

The Daisy Troop had their first cookie booths this past weekend. Sat. the 14th was very cold but they stood out there and sold cookies. They were very good sports and so were the parents. Our troop was at Diamond Shamrock gas station from 10-1 and it was 15 degrees. They sold 74 boxes. It was great. Sunday the 15th we were at Big R from 1:30-5. We got to be inside their entryway so it was much warmer. One of the girls that was scheduled was sick with fever so Shelby and Larry went along so we were able to continue with the booth. The booth rules state that there must be at least 2 scouts and 2 parents. So it was a family ordeal and turned out to be fun. The troop sold 95 boxes that day. We will definitely pick that spot again. We have 2 more booth to conduct, one next weekend the 21st and one March 8. The Brownie troop will be doing theirs this month too. Shelby has one on March 8th also but at a different time. Daddy is going with her so she can get a Daddy and me patch for the booth sales. Both troops want to make alot of money because we are planning on going camping. The girls really want to go camping, even the little ones. I can't wait.

January

Wow, January is gone already. It was busy. Courtney celebrated hers with friends. Mine was nice. The family took me to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. Shelby's birthday was dinner at McDonald's. Grandpa came up for that one. Shelby had her party with friends at skate city on Sunday, Feb.1st. We were unsure if she would be able to go because Saturday night she had a 102 fever. Sunday, the day of the party, she woke up with a 102 again. She was so upset. She thought she was not going to be able to go. But we filled her full of Advil and Tylenol and she made it through the party just fine. Monday she woke up with a 102 again. Took her to the doctor and she had strep throat. Last week I had to take Lacey to the doctor and she had strep also. Now they are both on meds and doing fine. Shelby goes back to school tomorrow. I volunteer in their classes on Wednesdays and they love having me there.
We've been selling girl scout cookies all month. I get to pick up the troops cookies next Monday. Hopefully all the cases will fit in the Excursion. Shelby and Lacey went door to door in our neighborhood. It was their first time doing that. They had a blast and wore me out. The sold 54 boxes each.
I started back at the riding center last Friday. It good to be "back in the barn" and helping. Friday's riders are little kids and they are so cute. I think I'm going to have fun this session. Oh, I won a winter getaway at the Volunteer social. It's a 2 night stay at a bed and breakfast in Twin Lakes and 2 all day lift tickets to Ski Cooper. I called Larry when I won. I asked him if he wanted to go. I knew he wouldn't want to because he doesn't ski, so I called my best friend Kristin and she's going to go with me in March. I can't wait.
Larry left for Wyoming yesteday. He will be gone till Friday back home for the weeken then back to Wyoming during the week. He's supposed to be up there until March. I'm so lost with him gone. It's like I can't function without him. My routine and schedule is all messed up. I forget school things and appointments. I'm just a wreck.
Hopefully it will get better.
I hope February is a great month. I have to plan my garden and get everything ready for seed starting. I can't wait.
