Do you need to start rounding up your lemons this week? We all have weeks that we need to pick ourselves up and get to juicing.
I feel like it has literally taken me until this week to get into a normal work mode for 2013……
Does it take any one else the entire month of January to recover from holiday time?
I think it has a lot to do with The Husband being home since he had shoulder surgery and so it seems like every day is still a vacation day. Regardless of why, I am taking the bull schedule by the horns this week. Enough of sleeping in till 7am, and getting kids to bed at 9. (I know there are a number of you out there in shock that I would ever allow my children to stay awake past 5:30pm. I love the idea of putting them to bed by 7 but it just has NEVER, EVER actually happened in the number of years since I have ever had kids.)

Thanks Jenny. I’m four whole hours in and I’m starving. And starting to wondering how toxic I really am…… ; )
Hi!
How do you get involved in teaching the Financial Peace classes? I looked it up awhile ago but was a little confused. Are you a volunteer and they just send you the materials or do you train and they pay you? Thanks for any information!
Hi Stephanie,
You can go to Dave’s FPU site and daveramsey.com/fpu/home and click on host a class. It is a volunteer position that we teach. We purchased the leadership kit ourselves (although it is a deductible expense for my business) so I would have the flexibility to teach at a variety of platforms. If you are involved in a church or other organization they will often purchase the study if you will offer to teach. You just would need to bring it to the board of elders. But then they will own the leadership kit not you.
I’d be happy to answer any other questions on that.
Thank you very much!!!
You did very well last week. Keep it up.
