I am a planner. I like to know what I am getting myself into.
I think it was my mother who instilled this in me when I was in fourth grade and she took me to the restaurant called Chi-Chi's to give me The Talk. I stuffed my face with chips and salsa while we talked about sex, boobs, penis' and periods. She even showed me a book with pictures. I knew what to expect. That is why I never wanted to grow up. Periods and penis' scared me.
You didn't click on my blog link to read about my realization of how babies are made, so I will move on.
This desire to know what lies ahead seems like a contradiction in my ever-tangled brain because I also like being sporadic and adventurous. Whenever I take a personality test, I am more of the outgoing, leader type, but am pretty balanced when it comes to the other two. It could mean that I have no idea as to who I am or that I am a well-rounded individual. I'd like to think the latter, but I have a notion that it is really the former. I sometimes have that Zoolander dilemma, where he looks into the puddle and asks, "Who am I?"
As some of you know, my husband quit his job at Sweetwater a few weeks ago. He is working in his studio full time. I have NO CLUE where we will be in a month, let alone a week. Will we be out of Grabill? Will we be in a different state? What do I want to do with my life? Ah!
I don't know if you have ever had the feeling, but the past few years I've been surrounded by a constant sea squall and all I can do is grasp onto the edge of the ship and puke my guts out from seasickness.
I know that I DO have a foundation to cling to and that the storm will pass at some point. I catch myself praying that I can just BE, that there will be no more death and my stomach will settle. But then, I look back and see that I am stronger because I didn't know what would happen and made it through.
I sometimes wish life was like that night at Chi-Chi's. I want to eat my Mexican food and for someone to spell it all out for me. Anyone up for some salsa?

You totally could have slipped in "Swallowed by the great blue transparency" in this post. Or wait... maybe you did, without literally putting it in there. Setting us up. Like a shadow. Or a foreshadow. Or something. Anyway... I love some good salsa
Whenever I have taken any one of those personality tests all four are almost the same score! So I totally get what you are saying about that. I will be praying that the Lord gives you calm over the next several months... and faith in Him and that He knows what He is doing! :)
Jenny- You are right! "Swallowed by the great blue transparency" would have fit in this post. I planned it, you know. (I actually didn't, but it is kind of scary how much the phrase fits.)
Megan- We should start a club called the Multiple Personality Club. What do you say? I am totally in.
