Temper
Impulsive
Just so you know I can make this list a little longer. Not much mind you, but a little :) Hie Hie Hie
So I have a serious issue with anything that wastes my time. I don't have patience for people who are are acting and are being inconsiderate. People who get put into positions which they can not handle and in it makes them look incapable. I have no patience. I do have a lot of patience when I craft though, and to me that is good enough :) It hard to have so little patience, because I need it. A lot. In my job as a mom, at work....living in South Africa! Driving in Cape Town. Its a challenge people. Its hard. My impatience leads me to get very angry and have little temper tantrums (mostly in private)
Temper, I have a daily fight controlling my temper. I am mostly a nice person who goes with the flow, but I get angry very quickly. In a split second. I have been working so hard, to control it, and not to just blow my top. And I have been really successful. I am proud of that. Kai tests me and I have really really done well. I do lose my cool every now and again with him, and then I shout at him. But it is really not very often, even though he honestly tests me so much.
My very impulsive nature has gotten me into some serious trouble, often. It has also though awarded me with some of my best adventures ever! So I don't know this is good and a bad trait. I guess its bad, because this also includes how I spend money. I have no control over myself, I swear, I walk into a shop and walk out a R1000 later without blinking an eye. All on credit !Urgh. I have really been trying hard to rain myself in though, and I think I have been a bit better this last couple of weeks, 8 weeks or so. I have been making a concerted effort. And I keep telling myself, I don't need this, but would love for this or that to be done in the house....so it has motivated me a little. I have also tried to avoid some of the my shopping pitfalls by un-subscribing to things like Groupon and Citymob, that way I don't get the daily temptation to buy things I don't need in my face. I do still go check it out, but forget often. So I think it all helps! :)
Buuuuut, It also got us on a totally unplanned trip to Paris a couple of years ago. And we have found the most awesome places ever to stay at around Cape Town, since I kind of pushed for some rather impulsive weekend get-away's (Before kids!!!) As in, get home from work, and literally say to Klaus "I don't feel like being home, wanna go somewhere, and sleep somewhere else" It would literally be as quick as grabbing a jean, a pair of undies, and off we go. No packing. No planning. Just that. We would drive till we get hungry and then find a place to eat and sleep. We use to love it. Can't do it with a small one so easily though, but will definately start doing it more as Kai gets older. Until I guess sport games and other school related activities take over.
I can not wait!
