Norwich

Yep, they do.

Three and a half and Thirteen months.

How old are your daughters?


I know it's nice to get a break from dealing with children.

I have this killer mosquito bite on my left ankle that will not stop itching. urgh!

What's been so down about this particular day?
Any chance it will improve??

Oh, how very sweet of you! I'm touched. I'll be popping by from time to time, but I'm in a phase of transition right now, so can't give as much to people as I would like to. My well wishes are always with the lovely people of this forum. *hugs* & hope your day is magical.

How are you?

I don't have any in mind.
And I have no pictures on my laptop, except for my background. And this one really weird picture which I saved because it's funny.
But noone else would find it funny.

Cud we b frends pls? ;(

thanks for the words of encouragement my friend. believe me it does help!

Thank you, Norwich

you are very welcome!!

thanks about the thread.... and I guess I shoudl fill in my profile a bit more now that I am obviously not test driving and here for a spell...lol

I need a week off from work and life - really. I love that little monkey you've got there. It made me laugh.
You're getting a framed print too!!!!!! That's AWESOME!
Yes - send me a picture when it's accomplished.

Have fun buying shoes.....(Ok - Ok - I admit I'm being wicked here LOL)

Check you later.

Meh...shaky and loopy - like I'm drunk and haven't had any sleep for days and days. It's a bit un-nerving I'l admit. It's almost as if the mind gets freaked out because the body is "acting" freaked out - if that makes sense. I wonder if one can have a panic attack because they 'appear' to be having one already. [shaking head no].
I feel like I need a week off.
Did I tell you I'm having an MRI done this Friday morning? Maybe by the end of next week I'll know - something.
Got all their school supplies yet? We gave away some for free to needy families a week ago. I don't recall having to have so much 'stuff' when I went to school. It can be a financial burden on the parents - and then a physical burden on the kids to carry all that stuff in a backpack no less.
Did I tell you that I finally got efromm's picture hanging up in my house? It looks good up there on the wall. I smile when I look at it.
Thank you for the offer of your shoulder. I think I'll take you up on that soon.

The doctor didn't talk to me after the test - his nurse(?) called me with his recommendations and this idea.
I have a 'gut feeling' (as stupid as that sounds)- the dizziness I experience is stemming from something other than Meniere's. I've felt that all along.
Yes - the rural areas are extremely difficult to survive in for a variety of reasons. But I'd rather deal with those - than the difficulties of living in a large city - any day. Give me trees and relatively fresh air - and room to breathe. Know what I mean?
I admire you Norwich - I really do - in your dedication and determination to provide a nurturing childhood for your girls. You are a living, breathing, real life example of what it is to love someone unconditionally.
Summers are so very hard on families - aren't they? Why don't the schools stay in school all year long now? It's not like we have to have the children to help us till, plant, and harvest food like we did a long time ago. It's got to be hard on the kids too. They've just finally developed routines in school, interacting with their friends, and challenging their growing minds to learn and retain what they've learned. Seems a waste to me to upset all of that. Oh well. I suppose that's a campaign best left to others...
You'll make it! [hug]
It'd be interesting to hear about your struggles with the girls in your blog. I wouldn't care how despairing you sounded. Your situation is one of a group of unique relationship dynamics and is a wonderful example of trying to help the world by giving your time and energy to helping others in this adoption. Sure, sure, you also hoped to receive love for yourself also. We all want that. Yet from what I've seen out there in the Adoption/Foster world, your girls are extremely lucky to have you in their lives. (And I know you know what I'm talking about). It's true - isn't it...
You can't tell your children how much they drive you crazy. You can't tell them how much it hurts your heart when they seem to reject you. And in our society - you really can't tell anyone how you'd like to 'chunk it all' and walk away - can you.
I wish we could have a cigarette and drink coffee on the porch and talk.

I will get back to you with a quiz that includes %.

http://forums.infjs.com/showthread.php?t=6080&page=25

When you take most MBTI tests it will give you a % on each opposite, J/P, T/F and so on. I can tell it also just buy reading up on it and the type descriptions. I go into INFP mode (weak J see) when I am stressed. I will see if I can find you one of the tests that gives you %. They don't all do that.

Well that doesn't mean are not both INFJ. I have a weak J, I have come to find. Some have a much stronger one, as it sounds like you do. Again, J can manifest itself in different ways. Some are not so obvious. I am pretty meticulous about my grooming and apprearence for instance. That is another way J can assert itself. And J types certainly don't have the market cornered on creativity. I think that has more to do with N (intuition) than the J/P thing. Just my thoughts and what I have picked up since becoming a student of MBTI.

The weather has been off. My garden has been confused all season. It is always beautiful though. Fall is my favorite season and it's just around the corner. You just got back from Coos Bay Oregon?
