I have no idea what I am doing

I have had this one idea for a book for a long time. I haven't done anything about it because I kept trying to talk myself out of it. Everyone says they are going to write a book and it usually doesn't amount to anything. But my brother asked me a week ago if I would take the pictures for a book he is writing. He is a graphic artist and he is planning on altering them to fit his concept. It flattered me because my brother has written several books and I never thought he would consider working with me on a project. We are still working out the details.

But it got me to thinking about the book I want to write. So I outlined out the book and it just all made sense. I e-mailed my brother to see if he would illustrate the book. We met and he gave me a lot of advice and steered me in the right direction. One thing he said was to put up an ad on Craigslist to see if I could find any graphic artists willing to work for cheap. So I did. Here was my ad...

Illustrator wanted to illustrate a LDS book. Seventy-five specific pictures wanted. Illustrator must have portfolio to display.

Can someone just blog so I have something to read

I really need to get my mind on other things. Can someone just blog about their life today so I can read it and think about your life? I know, weird request, but I am begging you.

Waited too long

I think I wait too long to blog. I have things I can blog, but I don't because of this or that. I guess I just don't think it is good enough to blog. Then when I want to blog I am so busy weighing whether it is blog material that I just decide it doesn't meet my blog criteria. Crazy.

Dresden is doing much better at pre-school. My sister saved the day by going there and checking on her a few times. One of the times she went in an played with Dresden. That was just what she needed. Ever since then she is happy to go to school and happy when I pick her up. BIG IMPROVEMENT!

Things are going great at school. I was trying to teach my class what makes a sentence a declarative sentence. When it comes right down to it, they are sentences that end with a period. There were a few kids that just didn't get it. So I started drawing fireworks around the sentence whenever it was declarative. Now my class expects it. One of my students said, "No more declarative sentences for you." Another student asks why I haven't drawn any fireworks when I am trying to teach a different concept about grammar. It's really cute.

I just realized I used the same title as Melanie. Sorry Mel. It must have just stuck in my head.

Pretty in pink

I went to my sister's house to pick up Dresden yesterday. She found out that Kyath was watching them and she ran to my house to rescue Dresden. When I picked her up she was clean, having just had a bath. Her hair had a cute little braid with a pink bow. She was wearing a new outfit. Debbie had bought her brand new shoes, and so Dresden was showing them off. But the first thing Dresden showed me were her painted fingernails. It was so cute. It is so fun to have a girl. Luckily I have a sister that takes care of her with so much love and dresses her up so cute.

Big sigh of relief

I have been obsessed about the whole professional thing. I think what I worry about the most was whether I was one of the ones that the principal was talking about yesterday. She came in my room today and I asked her to give me more info on what kind of professional dress she was talking about. Apparently I wasn't the only one worried. She said that there were many that were asking her about it. Apparently, she was wearing jeans yesterday. From a distance they just looked like dress pants. So I am not as stress about it as I was. I am still going to step it up a little bit though.
