Hi All...

Hi there. I have an update on life here. Its been crazy really. I have been working hard all week and now last night I had a night off and we went bowling. We took the girls with us and Bri got to bowl for the first time by her self. I helped her but we bowled.. It was a blast. I rather enjoyed being with my family. I had asked Jeff is he wanted to play raquetball or go bowling last night and he chose bowling.. It was a blast to be with them.

I dont remember if I told you all that Bri's actually riding her bike now with out her training wheels or not.. She was doing a few days ago and I have been busy and not remembering where I have put it. She is so proud of herself. I am proud of her as well as daddy. She fell of course a few times the first day but got back on it and said lets try again. She is so much more adventurous than Kora was at her age. Kora would just cry and scream..

Have any of you heard of Market America??? Jeff wants to get us involved and I feel its an Amway scam to me.. I dont trust anything that needs another person to make money or to have to have two more people under you to make money. Its a pyramid and its not safe in my eyes.. You dont get a paycheck unless you find a partner and then that partner needs two more people under them.

I am working almost 40 hours a week and we have been missing people at work and I have been trying to get as many more hours as I can because you know people are going to call in or what not.. Jeff is making two games with his computer programming. Rather enjoying himself.. He is getting some where with these but programming the graphics has him stumped for now. He is doing it in slow pieces..

Kora is taking off with her home schooling. She is doing great with understanding her verbs and such but her math she still fights me with sometimes..Now we are into her ones, tens and one hundreds math adding.. Havent gotten into the carrying yet but almost. I love the book we got her from Barnes and Noble. It has everything in it. Reading, math, spelling, Lanugage arts, writing and test prep.. I am looking at doing the test prep maybe over thanksgiving or there near when like the first quarter would be done in school. I give Kora spelling test each week like in school but we can go as fast or as slow as she wants with it. That is the nice part of being home schooled.

Bri is learning how to write her name and is doing well with it and also learning how to write other letters of the alphabet plus some numbers.. I am so proud of my girls. Even with me working we are making this work for us. I know home schooling isnt for everyone and we are managing just fine. I know at first I was wondering what we were going to do but we have managed and found our way with it. What I dont understand Jeff does with Kora.Well they are outside waiting for me.I will catch you all later. Its going to be dark soon and Bri wants me to watch her ride her bike. Talk to you all soon. I made rounds today so I will try and make them tomorrow too...N....

I've never heard of Market America, but I would be suspicious of it, too.

Market America is a pyramid scheme. Don't go near it. I found some websites with info:

Trust your gut.

Wow - you are putting in a lot of hours yet you sound like you are enjoying every minute. Good for you.

You're working very hard indeed, so do Jeff, so one could understand your girls will be hard workers too. very good for the family. I think that in France Pyramid schemes are forbidden.

Just keep working and put as much money away as you possibly can. The economy will probably get a lot worse before it starts improving.

It's great when you find a rhythm that works for you in homeschooling.

Those girls are growing up fast, Tweety! MA sounds like something to stay very far away from.

I know I've been awol...but am missing you and back again. Å litle busy...w have a family party here this weekend...lots of stuff kept em away from blooging.

Sounds like the girls are really getting comfortable in their learning.

As for Market America...the issue is if it is a multi-leveled marketers program...(whihc is another way of saying pyramid scheme)

Trust your guts...this is a company to stay away from.

Besides...do you with your busy schedules really want to spend your spare time going to seminars and bugging your neighbours to buy stuff?

This is not the time to buy more stuff...but rather for us all to pay our bills until the economy balances out...

but I am not a economic person...but this is a multi-layered market program...RUN!
