Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!
Winter has decided to show it's ugly side and provide us with nasty cold weather one day followed by a day or two of sunny days that make us long for spring. What can I say, it's Missouri.
The kids enjoyed three snow days last week and are now back to the daily grind that is school.
Noelle is signing up for classes for her ~ugh~ SOPHOMORE year. I ask again, when and how did this happen??? She has told us more than once, that she will be ready to take her drivers test to get her permit on her birthday. I don't think she really cares if we're ready or not. She spent several days over Christmas break in Chicago with the youth group. Some of her closest friends went as well, so she had a great time.
Michael is still rockin' the basement. He got a keyboard for Christmas and somehow he plays that along with his guitar. We still have our fingers crossed that he will play in the talent show. Michael had a cold during Christmas break that included an ear infection so bad, the doctor was surprised it hadn't ruptured. The kids, for some reason, will wait to say anything about their ears hurting until it gets to that point. It's interesting to note that they will live with ear pain, but a bump or bruise will set them over the edge.
Sean ended up selling 87 cars last year. In 2009, we sold 56. Not a bad jump for a little dealership. He's getting ready to start financing. It's not something he really wants to do, but it is becoming more and more evident that is the way things are headed. Most people that call are asking about financing. He's hired someone to work in the office. It's about impossible for Sean to get much done with people coming on the lost or calling with questions. She should start in about two weeks.
I've been working at an internal medicine office off the plaza since the first part of December. It stays pretty busy, but it's not really my dream job. However, it pays the bills and keeps me out of trouble...most of the time.
