For this week, Aggie want to know, she asked,

Aggie Wants to Know

“How’d your first six months go? And what are you looking forward to the next six months?”

Compared to the others entries who are far more colorful and eventful than mine like having a baby, getting pregnant, moving and working in another country, my 1st half of the year is pretty much more laid back.

Let me first refresh everyone’s memory on my New Year’s Resolutions and if I’ve actually done them.

Being a mom is not almost always fun. I have mentioned in my blogs numerous times reasons why I love being a mom; but honestly to be blunt about it there are some things I really dislike (hate is such a strong word) about it.

I don’t like…..

  1. ……….the fact that I don’t get to sleep for 8 hours straight.
  2. ……….feeling guilty every time I am away. ME-time sometimes isn’t fun when you’re mind is not there.
  3. ……….having to clean poop.
  4. ……….how Ozzy decides to poop seconds after I changed him into a clean nappy.
  5. ……….HAVING stretch marks. Goodbye stretch-mark free tummy…for this reason alone; I ask God why MEN are not the once experiencing child birth?! teehee
  6. ……….that whenever we are in a restaurant I cannot eat properly. (I almost always never bring yaya around; I want to be hands on as much as possible)
  7. ……….being bitten & sometimes hit. (uh-huh he hits now..tsktsk, kainis!)
  8. ……….when people assume I know everything just because I am a mom; I am human I make mistakes too. Spare me the, “Dapat alam mo na yon” speech. I am a first-timer, give me a break.
  9. ……….scolding my 2 year old boy every time he picks up something on the floor & puts it in his mouth.
  10. ……….Or scolding in general. Or loosing my patience. Or having to glare at the boy for being noisy in church. Or when he bites his nails. It’s not that I ‘hate‘ it but I just don’t enjoy being a disciplinarian. I want to be the spoiler. But I know that would not be a good thing in the long run.

Now you may think I am bad or what it doesn’t matter; this post doesn’t mean I love my son less or I am a terrible mother (although at times I feel I am inadequate), I am merely pointing out things that make parenting hard. It’s a tough job but someone has to do it right?

What’s my type?

I am a persuader & a creator.

Oh yeah baby, I’m a mover and a shaker. If I want something done, then expect me to do it.

Click to view my Personality Profile page

Thanks for this one Iris. Can you believe it, we are opposites. I’ve actually done this tag before, instead of a perceiving, I scored more for judging.

ESTPs are action-loving, “here and now” realists with excellent people skills. Informal, risk-taking, fast-paced and adaptable, they are not always in agreeance with rules and regulations. They are tactical problem solvers that desire quick results. ESTPs, who present a friendly and enthusiastic face, are straightshooters that are able to handle criticism.

Anyway, I love it. Mine is pretty accurate. I am a doer. I accept that. Friends, I want to know your personality type, let me know when your done Apols, Arlene, Eds, Joy & Diane Lao

Get to know yourself more, take the personality test here.
