If you're looking for a good excuse to not do housework...
Let me suggest this: The Color Code.
Some of you know I want to go into this field someday. This book has been so helpful to me over the years in so many ways. (It started with a book about 10 years ago, the Dr. who wrote it is LDS and it was on the best seller list for a long time...) Anyway, you take the test and find out what type of personality you are. There are four types (RED, YELLOW, BLUE, WHITE). There is not a best color. All the colors have strengths and weaknesses. You will probably not be ALL one color but you will generally have a dominant color. I am 67% BLUE. The idea behind it is that the Savior was the best of each of the colors. We should try to overcome our weak areas and capitalize on our strengths. It takes about 15 minutes and it is free. You can sign up for the extended analysis (which costs money) but if you do the test and comment me with what color you are I will email you the packet I have created about the personality types. I have taught this class many times and have ALOT of info on all of the colors. Have your hubbies take it too, just for fun.
Here is the part that I think is so cool: It helps you know what strengths and weaknesses you have, and clearly helps you identify areas to work on. It also can aid your understanding of relationships or personalities that you may struggle with. As an example, it really helped me understand my hubby who is a total YELLOW (think: play! play! play!) and I am a BLUE (think: work! work! work!). BLUES and YELOWS are opposites. Once I identified what motivated him it helped me to understand him so much. Now I know that in order to get him to help me around the house, I offer to do something fun with him afterward.
Its also helped me when working with people in callings: REDS love to be in charge, YELLOWS like to be the center of attention, etc. WHITES are peacemakers and can work well with anyone.
When I was in YW we did this as a class for moms and daughters and many of the moms said it was a turning point in understanding their daughters better and thus improving their interaction.
For me, it has been helpful in disciplining, relating to my children. I have two blues, a red, and two yellows.
