One of the things my wife wrote that she wanted in a partner this weekend was someone "bouncing, bubbly, and energetic." I am struggling with this a bit, as I don't feel like I'll ever be that person. Energetic, yeah...but bouncing and bubbly? Not so much. I am trying to be more lighthearted, and that is very positive, and such a reward to myself, but I don't know if I'll fit the bill otherwise.
I work from home, have watched our last three kids before they got to school age (on the last one!), clean the house, do laundry, do some yard work, make half or more of the dinners, and make the lion share of the money. Throw in the kids activities and there's not a lot of time for "bubbly." Fun, yes, but bubbly, I don't think I'll ever have that.
