  • Your type is: enfp  —The “Kids R Fun” Mother


    “Whatever I enjoy—playing tag or singing in the car—I can do it with kids around. And it’s totally legitimate!”



    • Playful and energetic, the ENFP mother finds her children to be good company and enjoys being with them. In fact, she says being with children justifies her own “being a kid again.” And children say she’s fun to be with — spontaneous, hearty, and imaginative.
    • Naturally drawn to introducing her children to the joys of life, the ENFP is something of a free spirit. She is less concerned with rules, routines, and schedules, and more inclined to give her children plenty of free time to play, explore on their own or with her, and have fun together.
    • Tuned in to her children, the ENFP mother enthusiastically encourages each one’s individuality and unique potential through a great variety of experiences. She is also quick to identify with others’ feelings and thoughts, making her an empathetic supporter of her children, not to mention her mate and many, many friends.

    I guess that’s why the kids all want to hang out here huh? Cause I’m the “kids r fun” mom! [grin]

  • Survey says………………… ME Time is the number 1 answer with a 90% favorable response. 3 people mentioned family time and 2 talked about couple time.


    I’m going to be getting some quality and quantity couple time in just a couple of weeks. Only 18 more days till Silver_Fangz leaves for Europe, and just 2 days later, Squirt will be off on a riding vacation to California. Everyone is very excited, and plans are starting to come together. Yesterday we signed up for a credit card for SF. It a preloaded one that we can control from here. She will be able to use it a visa, or get cash from an ATM with it. This way we can add more money if she needs it for some reason.


    For Squirt I’m planning to get her a MiGo phone, so she can call home if she needs to. We still have to figure out a phone or phone card for SF.


    I am evidently finished homeschooling the landlord’s son. To which I am some what relieved. The last two weeks of school are generally down times for us. We have to gather our materials and return them (the ones that were purchased with charter school funds) and besides, she’s usually burnt about now. We are working on some logic exercises, reading, math and science. In addition we will be doing some sewing projects that she has started but hasn’t had a chance to finish.


    I’ve been busy with school work. I’m yak, yak, yak, yak, yak, yak, yak …. yak. [you've heard it all before].


    Most importantly only 6 more weeks till my vacation. Hooah!!


    I’m off for another fun filled day of housecleaning, homeschooling and homework.





    Question of the day:


    What was the last vacation you took? And do you take vacations besides those to visit family?
