Yesterday I was given a questionaire to fill in about myself. This questionaire was pretty simple, but boy I found it harder to answer than I would have thought. It was a basic questionaire that asked questions like
What is your favourite movie?
What is your favourite colour?
What are your hobbies?
What skills do you have?
10 years ago I would have known my answers exaclty without any thought at all, even five years ago. It's funny how life with a family becomes sooo not about you. I could list all of these answers so easily for each one of my Munchkins. I'm guessing that's how life is meant to be and will continue to be for a while yet!
One of the questions asked was 'What do you enjoy doing?' A few answers came to mind. - Being with my family, or at the other end of the scale.. peace and quiet on my own. As I pondered the question, I really had to ask myself, but what really makes me happy? What throughout my life have I ALWAYS enjoyed doing? Then I knew what it was so easily. Whether in fits with my children, uncontrollable in innappropriate situations, to absolute tears with friends. I LOVE to laugh!
It makes me so happy. Infact the reason I fell so in love with my curly haired man in the first place was that he could make me laugh in almost any situation!
After filling in my questionaire I got thinking... When was the last time I had a good laugh? Why didn't I laugh as much as I used to? I decided I can be too serious. Too serious about life, about munchkins behaviour, about what people might think of me, about getting somewhere on time, about anything really! So today I found reasons to laugh. Laughing at the munchkin master 4 'accidentally' knocking all the plastic cups out of the cupboard to make a big noise. Having a laugh with munchkin Miss 8 when she was sulking about not getting her way. Laughing with the curly haired man and all the munchkins as we played leapfrog with them down the hallway tonight. I am glad for all that laughter, for tonight I am going to bed feeling very happy indeed.
