I would like you to not be in my way, please

Manners...we work at this regularly. We have great periods of several months when the pleases and thank yous flow freely....then there are the times where it is like pulling teeth!

This morning while Meredith was trying to get around Kevin on the steps and was prompted for "good manners" she says "I would like you to not be in my way, please!" Where have we gone wrong??? Three and a half is such a unique animal.

Figuring my self out

I found this on Sarah's blog today. I had to take the quiz immediately. I love this Myers-Briggs type of stuff...I will always take a Cosmo quiz....I guess I am always trying to figure out exactly who I am. Well...here it is...

You Are An INFJ

The Protector

You live your life with integrity, originality, vision, and creativity.
Independent and stubborn, you rarely stray from your vision - no matter what it is.
You are an excellent listener, with almost infinite patience.
You have complex, deep feelings, and you take great care to express them.

In love, you truly see relationships as an opportunity to connect and grow.
You enjoy relationships as long as they are improving and changing. You can't stand stagnation.

At work, you stay motivated and happy... as long as you are working toward a dream you support.
You would make a great photographer, alternative medicine guru, or teacher.

How you see yourself: Hardworking, ethical, and helpful

When other people don't get you, they see you as: Manipulative, weak, and unstable
What's Your Personality Type?

When It is all said and done, I see myself in some of that, but not all of it. I think it is impossible to really but such a hard and fast label on anyone...but it has it's merits. How about you??

Let's Try This Again

Ok....it has been awhile. But I have not given up. I am just not sure if I am the blogging type. It is not going to be an everyday thing for me....but I will try again. I am on a purging kick! And with good reason...we are the cluttery, keeping type, and we need to stop. I have a boat load of clothes sitting in the hall way ready to take to a big consignment sale tonight. Since both my sister, and sister-in-law just had their 3rd and 2nd boy(respectively), I am no longer saving Meredith's clothes. I still have tons of the 0-12 stuff...there is just so much of it that it is overwhelming. But I feel good getting rid of all the old fall/winter stuff. Tonight I hope to get the rest of the summer/pajamas but in the right place, and then I can start a new project! ???? We'll see!
