Order, where are you?

I'm in a weird funk today. It has been raining for I don't know how many days. It makes me sleepy. I'm in a fog, literally and figuratively. We bought the boys a trampoline a few weeks ago, and they haven't been able to play on it for several days now because of the rain. Thursday and Friday are Fall Break so the boys will be home all day. Hopefully the forecast is correct and it will be dry those days!

Sometimes there are so many things to do that I don't know where to start. I guess it's time to make a list.

That reminds me, we took an interesting personality test at our weekend marriage retreat. It divides people into six colors. I am primarily green, with some blue, yellow and purple thrown in. (sounds like a spectacular bruise). PJ is yellow, with some blue, green and purple. It's the blue people that like order and like to make lists. Green people like harmony and are accepting of others. Yellow people like doing for others and being around people. Purple people (eaters--wait, no) like to get things done and tend to define themselves by what they accomplish. And just to round out the color wheel.....Red likes to take charge and is competitive; and Orange likes to be the center of attention and loves taking risks.

It really was interesting and helps to identify areas of strength and weakness. A lot of couples are on opposite sides of the wheel, but not always.
