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.
