To go take a walk by my lonesome so I can feel like myself again. Not that I don't love Sunday family dinners, mom's night, and seeing people at church, but what I count down to is the kids being in bed so I can do my nails or read a book.<br /> It's funny that you feel like extroversion could appear shallow. I'm always a little insecure that I'm not a very good friend because it just doesn't occur to me to reach out and spend time with people. Guess we just have to be who God made us.Beckynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17238112.post-80771962638424509232011-01-23T18:20:11.080-08:002011-01-23T18:20:11.080-08:00This made my night!

All of us need time with other adults. It does get better as the kids get older. Teens are a blast!!

We must begin to have some night meetings at one another's homes that begin at 9:00 p.m. and go at least until 11:00 so that all of the beautiful children are safely tucked in bed and daddy is there in the quiet of the home.<br />Being a southerner in 'northernville' I am lost in a world as the extrovert's extrovert. That translates to me being culturally out-going (and perhaps, shall we say, out-spoken) and everyone around me thinking I'm way nuts and/or out of order! Ya end up having to keep your mouth shut (in quiet contemplation) until you visit your home-land every four to six months...and this is VERY hard to do for an extrovert!! Not only are you counting the days, you're counting the months!!

I took the Meyers-Briggs while working at the University and i swore up and down i was not an "off the chart" extrovert like the test claimed. Work drained me, too much social interaction drained me, etc. (My colleagues - and Mike just kind of chuckled. Guess they knew me better than i knew myself.) Fast forward to my recent life change - mostly stay at home mom (i still work from home and go in to the office very occasionally). Wow - my extrovertness has become VERY apparent. So now i too proudly proclaim - I AM AN EXTROVERT. :-)Priyanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17238112.post-20914738336419655712011-01-22T13:16:18.167-08:002011-01-22T13:16:18.167-08:00Ah man, I feel like a jerk, I canceled on you frid...Ah man, I feel like a jerk, I canceled on you friday :( Next week for sure!!!Sarah Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17238112.post-57321640723670779912011-01-21T22:07:57.993-08:002011-01-21T22:07:57.993-08:00Bahaha!
