What color crayon are you?

You Are a Yellow Crayon

Your world is colored with happy, warm, fun colors. You have a thoughtful and wise way about you. Some people might even consider you a genius. Charming and eloquent, you are able to get people to do things your way. While you seem spontaneous and free wheeling, you are calculating to the extreme. Your color wheel opposite is purple. You both are charismatic leaders, but purple people act like you have no depth.

Here's some goodies from the day....

Catch up again

I see I'm not keeping up very well. Lots going on, just not updating.

Still taking my DMACC class - still kicking my butt. I have a paper due Tuesday that I haven't started yet and a huge, enormous paper I also haven't started yet due on April 6. Like ginormous. I have requested books at the library for my research but that's it. Eeep. On the plus side, I do have 3 days off work this week + the weekend so I should be in business. My days off involve a lot of dr. appts. but I hope to get some stuff done on the off time.

Had the kids' school conferences last week - same old, same old there. Zach is lazy and disorganized, but skating by, Tiff is doing okay and working hard, but missing a few assignments, Macy is struggling lots and her teacher thinks she would have benefited from special ed. but not much to do at this point in the year in 5th grade, and Brady is doing well but constantly rushing to be the first done so making careless mistakes. Frustration almost all around.

I am in an online crop this weekend and have lots to do today to get "caught up", but looking forward to it and have some ideas in my head so that's good. We went on a drive today to allow Zach to work with a friend of ours on math. Math = not the strong suit for Scott or I, so Aaron came by to help him out. I hate to blame Zach's math struggles on his teacher, since I'm married to and the daughter of a teacher - - but I think it's his teacher. It's the only class where he consistently turns things in and still get crappy grades. He's only missed 2 assignments in there but has failed all his quizzes and tests. He says the teacher passes out worksheets daily and then turns on his Ipod. I don't know if that's completely true, but I know that he doesn't understand what he is supposed to be doing. He said today he learned more in an hour than he's learned all semester. :-(

Here's a few photos of things we saw on our drive. I saw the train coming and got my camera ready. Turned out pretty good I thought, considering we were going 65 in one direction and it was going who-knows-how-fast in the other. Timing is everything. :-)

Quiet Sunday

I've been working around the house today, trying to get some sort of organizing done. I just really wish I was born with that gene, but unfortunately, no. I got a couple bags of the girls old clothes ready for the DAV and hope to get one more before the day is done. We're having dinner here tonight with Dixie. Steak, baked potato and salad. Crap, reminds me I was supposed to go out this afternoon and get the salad dressing because all we have right now is French. Blech. Well, maybe a quick trip to the store will be next.

I've doing a bit of scrapping - trying to stay in the DW2008 challenge on 2peas. Got my 4 projects done for the month in the nick of time on Friday. Three were done earlier in the week but the last was a mad dash. Ah well, I like them and they are pages scrapped, ya know. I need to figure out how many I have done so far this year and keep track from now on so I know how I do.

Also joined a new message board that has lots of challenges. Looks like a fun group, we will see how it goes. I just need that extra push to get going I think. And I've found the joy of online ordering lately too. Ergh. My cc balance doesn't appreciate it but I think I've done okay with keeping it "reasonable". I got some new foam stamps after I found some that I LOVE at HL on their sale one week. I got some new BG paper pre-ordered that should be here shortly too.

Hope to keep up better here, didn't mean to disappear. Once spring is finally here, maybe I'll be more in the mood to post. Snow and cold makes me crabby. Lots of melting this w/e but another 4 - 6" expected tonight. Seriously.
