I was just looking at my most recent journal titles. I've got to lighten up... get over it. That can be hard when I'm in a depressive cycle. Yesterday was not a bad day, but I turned it into a marginally annoying day by not adjusting my attitude.

My first period biology class has decided that they are already done with school. Only two out of the entire class completed an assignment that I gave out last Tuesday. The normal participation style of this class is to wait for me to ask the questions and only reluctantly answer. My complain that I cover too much material and don't review enough... Frankly, it's hard to review when most of the group will not willingly participate.

This set the tone for the rest of the day.. my 6th grade... thank goodness they are still excited about learning. I've already written their final examination. Final exams begin in the first week of June.

My garden is really looking good this year. I'm definitely getting some more closeups of flowers in the front yard today. The day lily's are budding... not long now.

Daughter #2 Was paid for the use of her artwork in the poster and promotions for a youth backgammon tournament in the Midwest. -Her first commercial venture. This is particularly cool because the promoter for the event found the image through a Google search and the image he chose was posted in my shoutbox gallery... She bought herself a Canon Powershot camera.. very cool.
