What Mary Means
You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated.
You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want.
You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way!
You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic "Type A" personality.
You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something.
You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.
You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.
You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in.
You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising.
You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.
I don't know how true this is. I am NOT that agressive. lol and I HAVE settled down and am VERY happy.
I wanted to let those who are seeing how I am doing that I am staying alive. I am hoping the worst of it might be over. We are weak and still ache. I am very thankful for my dish washer and Tylenol. And I am thankful despite my Handsome being home sick. He has been able to still bring in the wood for the wood stove and help me make homemade chicken soup. ( I am also thankful that this wood stove doesn't need a lot of wood) I am laying low once again today and going to knit.
I think we have almost watched every movie we have in the house too. lol Maybe I shouldn't have confessed that ?
Well I have spent all my energy and should go lay down now.
Thank you for all your prayers and sweet well wishes.
I'm sorry that everyone still isn't feeling good. I'm glad you are all getting your rest while watching movies. It's great to just rest and relax, not to do to much. I hope everyone starts to feel better soon. :)

Ah, I was wondering how you were doing. If you want, I have all the season except season 3 of Little House On The Praire. I'll let you borrow them in exchange for your homemade chicken soup. I just love homemade soups!!!
Oh how I want you to be back to your old self soon. You know the one that is my mirror twin, the one whose name means "You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun."
You are full of energy. You are spirited and boisterous.
You are bold and daring. You are willing to do some pretty outrageous things. ( Spontaneous can be a good thing Really it can be)
Your high energy sometimes gets you in trouble. (not since I cut out the caffiene) You can have a pretty bad temper at times.(Only if I forget my Thyroid meds)
You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. ( I knew they would bring Body type into this!!!)
You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. (Faithful and true like a well worn blankie)
At times, you can be a bit too serious. (yeah, right!)You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. (You mean it isn't all my fault?)
You tend to be pretty tightly wound.(In a two bedroom mobile with six grandchildren wanting my attention all at once, not me) It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.
You have a lot of enthusiasm,( After all I'm only 5.1 years old how long can you hold a five year olds attention?) but it fades rather quickly.
You don't stick with any one thing for very long.(I love quilting, no stamping, no scrapbooking, no crocheting, wait would did they say again?)
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. (OOPS somebody looked at my crafts again)
You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. (After all they asked me what I thought, I thought they really wanted to know..hee hee)
You work hard not to rock the boat. (rocking it isn't the problem, it is getting people out of their comfort Zone to actually GET IN THE BOAT!) Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.
(Like when my best Buddy is sick and needs a giggle)
You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.
You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. (I thought you just said I was tightlt wound)
Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. (Oh that is Easy it is Jesus!!!)
It's okay to watch lots of movies when you're not feeling well - that's what we call "school" when I am sick! LOL Praying that all of you are back to 100% by the time you read this! ;~)
First , I am a daughter of the King almighty and a
a wife to my Handsome of 17 years. A mom of 4 on the go boys 15, 13, 9, and 7. I grew up in the states but married my Canadian sweetheart and moved up north.
We live in the southern part of British Columbia , Canada on our homestead. We have homeschooled our four boys from birth and plan to go the distance till all four graduate from our homeschool. I teach with a Charlotte Mason style and use the Heart of Wisdom Approach. I love to craft! I am a beader, knitter, x-stitcher, quilter. We have been on a journey of being apart of building "The House that God Built". I have been recording our journey on my blog. Go to my links and you will find it. I know God has a lot more instore for us and we just need to follow where our Lord takes us.
