I took a personality test today that a good friend at work gave me. It was interesting how easy it was to answer the questions. I wanted an honest judgement from the test. I answered 70 questions with the first thing that came to my mind. Here's what the test came up with.
Your personality type is ENFP
Extrovert, Intuition, Feeling, Perceiving
Where do you prefer to focus your attention? get your energy?
Extrovert
People who prefer extraversion like to focus on the outer world of people and activity. They direct their energy and attention outward and receive energy from interacting with people and from taking action.
How do you prefer to take in information?
Intuition
People who prefer intuition like to take in information by seeing the big picture, focusing on the relationships and connections between facts. They want to grasp patterns and are especially attuned to seeing new possibilities.
How do you make decisions?
Feeling
People who prefer to use feeling in decision making like to consider what is important to them and to others involved. They mentally place themselves into the situation to identify with everyone so they can make decisions based on their values about honoring people. They are energized by appreciating and supporting others. And look for qualities to praise. Their goal is to create harmony and treat each person as a unique individual.
How do you deal with the outer world?
Perceiving
People who prefer to use their perceiving process in the outer world like to live in a flexible, spontaneous way, seeing to experience and understand life, rather than control it. Detailed plans and final decisions feel confining to them; they prefer to stay open to new information and last-minute options. They are energized by their resourcefulness in adapting to the demands of the moment.
My friends response to my test was this.....
There is more to it, but that is the basic summary of your type. (and I must say it describes you to a T) :-p
Well Andrew...I think so too.

Someone like me
I came across the blog of an incredibly open woman who speaks her mind and tells it like she feels it. She talks about the ups and downs of parenting, about how its not easy for all of us.
She swears and drinks. In most peoples eyes this would be considered foul or in the wrong, but to me it makes her human. It makes her honest. Her desire to be only herself, good or bad shines through in every post.
She talks about how parenting doesn't always come naturally to all of us and how much harder it can be to keep your head above water. Specifically, a post she wrote called wearer of many hats really spoke to me. You can take a look at the post by copying the link below.

Cleaning house
Well apparently its time to clean the house out.
Its clear I have people on my facebook page that are clearly not my friend anymore. They are busy judging me and being crude. People that choose to stay in my life so that they can have a good ole time judging me and pointing fingers.
Well my dear friends, this is about to change.
I am posting this as an open forum for you to speak your mind. If we shouldn't be any kind of "friends" then that is fine with me. I know who the people that love me are. And I know who I am. You don't have to like me or put up with me. I know I wouldn't put up with you if you were not being fake to my face and being honest instead.
So I am off to get my delete on.
Peace out!

Dear Anonymous
Well hello there my dearest coward.
I see you have finally opted to saying something to my online face. I could not be any more proud of the ability you have apparently gathered to speak up for yourself. You are such a big girl waith your big bad words trying to tell me how bad of a person I am, all the while making yourself look like an incredible ass.
Maybe you didn't get a chance to read my entire post. Did you happen to see the part where I told you that you could kiss my ass? Maybe you didn't see the part where I pointed out that I will no longer stand for people judging my life? The part where I said that I have been punished long enough and will no longer stand for negative people around me?
Well incase you missed it, and just stopped by to slay your verbal vomit about me, let me make a few things clear. I don't lie. You may not like my opinion and you may not care to hear what I have say, but that is where the you can kiss my ass part comes in. I speak from what I have seen or heard. Also, I do not ever set out to hurt or harm anyone. I make mistakes, and from your spelling I see that you do as well.
With that said, I'll take this time to let you know that you can remove yourself from my life because I don't wish to have pieces of shit in it. And you my "friend" are a complete Piece Of Shit. This is my space, don't bring your presence here just to try and bring me down. You will not get that from me, you will only give me more strength.
Sincerely,
The honest person, who makes mistakes.

Lost and found
It feels like a switch was flipped, like something changed almost overnight.
I feel stronger, more confident and more "me".
It took a "talk" from two different men in my life that mean a lot from me. One is my very good friend and one owns my heart. What was said, I am sure you are wondering. "Mainly, who the hell are you and what did you do with Rachel? I want her back". Where's the girl who loved herself and didn't give a shit what anyone else thought as long as she knew she believed in what she was doing and where she was going? The woman who would stand her ground and speak her mind. The woman who got mad and you knew it.
Honestly, I don't know how I got away from her. All I know at this moment is that I am way past done keeping her quiet. I was shaken, I was bruised and I was scared. And you know what, I am straight done with it.
I am a good mother and an incredible friend. I fight for those I love and stand up for what I believe. I may feel as though I stand alone more times than not, but I am strong enough to stand and that is all that matters. I have been holding so much in for fear of judgement and people not liking who I am.
Well you know what, if you don't like my life or my choices then you can just kiss my ass. This is who I am and you know what, that's okay with me.
Sincerely,
Big,bad Rachel

Strength
Has anyone seen my strength?
I have looked high and low, in and out. Still I waiver. Still I feel so easily defeated. Some days I just feel like I can't get where I want to be. That everything and everyone around me are pushing against me.
Its time to rally up and jump. To hold strong in my faith that I can do this. I tell myself this daily, but I don't know that I truly believe myself. I need to believe myself. I can make my life what I want, and have what I deserve.
Tonight I am making that jump.
Here's to believing in myself.

What is happiness??
Happiness to me is the feeling of pure joy. Now I know I will not have this feeling constantly and will still be happy. My point is that, the more moments we have that overwhelm us with Joy the happier we will be in the long run. I seek out these moments. I surround myself with those people that make me happy, that bring me joy.
Drama is so draining, so completly depleating. It takes your energy and brings out the worst in you. So, why do people thrive off of it so much? Why do people push to bring it to a head and jump in it? The only answer that I can come up with after this day from hell is simply because they need to start shit to cover up what they really don't want to say.
Now don't get me wrong, I am so far from perfect that it scares me to say the word outloud. The difference is I don't walk around pretending to be just that. To never own any of the problems or consequences is just no where near possible. I have spent months saying it was all my fault, owning every bit of the hurt that was caused and the lives that were changed. But still I am punished, still I am treated like trash?
Damn it can't you see that I just wanted to be happy? That I only want to be loved and cared for, the way I love and care for others. I know I've made mistakes and I know that I will make more in the future, but right now I want the happiness. I want the joy that I deserve after a year of straight sadness and tears.
