School and term papers

I am going back to school for my degree in Health Care Mgmt. I love going to school and learning new things, I don't even mind doing term papers; what I do hate is doing oral presentations. I just do not understand why teachers insist on this. I am a very shy person, who does not like to draw alot of attention. I totally understand the whole thing about being a well rounded student but how is making me stand up in front of a room of people, that I hardly know, going to make me anything but a nervous, stuttering mess? Why do they feel the need to humiliate people this way? I feel that doing an oral presentation should be extra credit and a choice, not mandatory.

Oil paint is a disaster

This weekend, I painted to of my kitchen doors. Since they were previously painted with oil paint, I primed them first, with oil based primer. This is the recommendation I have seen doing research on the internet. Well, after priming I painted with a latex paint.

When I took the painter's tape down, the tape peeled the paint right off with it. Maybe it has not had enough time to cure, but I think I will just stop trying to take the easy way out and strip the doors.

Well at least I know what I am going to be doing the rest of this week, Yah!

It snowed!

So, it started snowing today at around 7 am.  Last night schools were two hours late, this morning school was closed.  At first I thought it was ridiculous but I do want my children to be safe.  It did only snow 2 inches but, the kids were safe.

I got a call this evening at 3:00 that school is closed tomorrow, I guess it because of the ice?  So that means that this week the kids only had school one day because Monday was the holiday and Thursday and Friday are teacher work days, so that means no school.  Oh to be a kid again.

Snow

They are calling for snow where I live, 3-6 inches.  I live in Eastern, NC.  I went to the store this evening just to get something to eat before school.  The store was crowed, I am sure people were stocking up for the storm. I find this very amusing.  

I am from Baltimore and even though it does not snow alot, it is funny how in places were it hardly ever snows people kind of panic.  The school is opening two hours late and the county government and courts are closed.  Some doctor's offices are closed too.  I mean, it is only 3 inches of snow.

Cooking

I know how to cook, and whenever I do cook it is good, unless you are under the age of 18.  I do not cook extravagant, gourmet meals, just everyday food.  But for some reason my children never seem to like what I cook.  They try something at my mother's house and I like it, then when I make it at home they don't.  This is very frustrating, especially in these times when I am trying to save money where I can.

Today I made 15 bean soup with turkey, pork loin with potatoes and carrots, and greens.  This is enough food to last for the week (lunch and dinner for me and dinner for my kids).  I am sure tomorrow night I will hear "there is nothing to eat in this house" from one of my children.

What is a mother to do?  I am open for suggestions.
