What color are you? I expect to see on your blog.
You Are a Green Crayon
Your world is colored in harmonious, peaceful, natural colors.While some may associate green with money, you are one of the least materialistic people around.Comfort is important to you. You like to feel as relaxed as possible - and you try to make others feel at ease.You're very happy with who you are, and it certainly shows!Your color wheel opposite is red. Every time you feel grounded, a red person does their best to shake you.

check these out!
KK has a blog, you can follow the link on the side of mine. She named herself well..."I want to do it all."
My friend who moved away recently to be near family while her husband is in Afghanistan has an amazing blog. Most of the ideas I use come from her. She recently posted a beautiful post about how Heavenly Father knows each of us. It is well worth your time to check it out. It is the link "the great balancing act."
Good things:
1. Knowing I am not the only one with bad days.
2. Friends who put life into perspective.
3. A husband by my side.

Is This the New Normal?
We are now in the third week of school. And I think we have settled into the new normal. Some parts of it I like, and other parts...not so much!
The day goes something like this:
5:10 girls get up and get ready for school
5:40 they come down stairs making noise, turning on lights, and clanging dishes. Now I could get up, but they seem to find something to eat, and load their bags with food and other necessities for the rest of the day without me. Which is fine with me, I don't function too well this time of day.
Out the door to be at the church for seminary at 6. So far they have been on time.
Seminary ends at 6:45. B has dance on MWF at 7 at the school. K has AP chemistry at 7:20 everyday. But B has to stay in the same seminary class so on the off days she finishes getting ready, sleeps, does homework, or talks with friends until the regular seminary is done and then catches a ride to school with Gramma who is teaching seminary this year.
I don't see them again until about 5:45 when soccer practice is done.
That is a long day for them! It wears me out just to think about it.
After the girls leave, I doze in and out of sleep until about 7 when the rest of us get up and get going. Either G or I take D to school. I go to the gym at least 3 days a week for a class at 8:30. On Wednesday I go to the temple. During the day I do things all moms do, (laundry, dishes, toilets, etc.) I also go to meetings dealing with school committees, do pictures, read, talk on the phone - best if I call then I can use the ear piece, and still get something done,- shop, weed, blog, sew, young women, and I am taking a photography course. Most days D takes the bus home which gives me more time, and less taxiing. I really like a driver and not having to pick up high school kids. With all my less going in and out of town, I think we are actually SAVING money on gas at this point.
Soccer games are for K and B on Tuesday and Saturday's. G helps on the side lines. So we will try to go to all the games, home and away. That is 4 games a week. Add D's on Saturday. 5 games. Double header this week. 6 games. So far the weather is very pleasant, and it makes for an enjoyable day. I think you can kind of count that as being together as a family?!
Also add throughout the week, voice lessons, scouts, FHE, YW, school board, bishopric meetings.
It sounds like more than ever, but with me not chaffuering I actually feel like I have a lot more free time.
Good things:
1. more drivers
2. more free time
3. more time to talk to sisters ( okay not to K, it gets to crazy when she is available for talking, and my brain turns off about the time she gets home.)
