There is no pleasure

Quotes for today:

There is no pleasure in having nothing to do; the fun is in having lots to do and not doing it.

Mary Wilson Little

Most of the time I don't have much fun. The rest of the time I don't have any fun at all.

Woody Allen

I have a tendency to get caught up in *THAT WHICH MUST BE DONE*

and when that which must be done is lots and lots then I have a tendency to become bogged down in it and get really wound up and irritable and well an uptight bitch

One of the hardest things for me to do is let myself go and just have fun

Tonight I did and I feel so good - I needed to do dishes and laundry and clean and even catch up on the sleep that I am running a huge deficit on . . .

Instead the kids and I played Karaoke Revolution and had a blast

Hey and singing in the car constantly has helped - I got two diamond records (ok it was on easy but I did get a platinum on medium lol)

But it is moments like this that I remember what I need someone else to bring to my life

A reminder to play, to sing, to laugh, to have fun.

This week Boomer was crawling on my face and I dissolved into giggling - how can you not when you have warm wiggly wet puppy kisses all over your face.

Catherine and Patrick were shocked.  They had never heard me giggle.  Ever.  I really felt bad.  I do love to laugh and have fun and be silly.  I am just not naturally very good at it.  They are used to the funny sometimes sarcastic side of me but my kids did not know how very silly and childish I could be.  I wish there was some way to teach it to come more easily to the surface.

So I still have dishes to do and laundry and I am probably not going to catch up on the sleep.

But I feel like I have had a vacation already.
