Fun? What is fun to a mother?

List five things you do for fun.

This is such a fun question, because really, do mothers even have the time (and permission) to have fun? Anyway, this year, I’ve decided to be more conscious about doing things for me. So let’s see if I can get 5 on the list!

Read more – This started late last year. I joined a book club so that I’d have extra motivation to read. It seems to be working so far. I love the discussions we have and generally like the idea of having peers who are all trying to get back to reading. We’re currently reading Paris Apartment which feels like an annoying kind of mystery because I don’t even know the exact mystery I’m trying to solve but somehow, that makes me want to keep going. But well, let’s see what my sentiments are at the end. I’m really just 25% in.

Keep asking what will Cheryl want – Because I realised only last year that I don’t do this enough, and interestingly, it didn’t even start when I became a mother…but that’s a story for another day.

Spend time with friends – The time away brings me back refreshed.

Swim – Yaay Family World. I love being in the water but it’s always felt like a drag to go so far. Happy to have one close by. Now let’s see if we patronise it. Lol

Write more – I miss writing! Of course, that’s why I’m doing this. Hehe.

Okay! I got enough. I feel like the second one doesn’t count or it’s not fun. But we’ll, it is kind of fun to go down a path of self discovery. Painful but fun. We’d take it!

There’s one more. I’d write about it when it happens. Hehe.

Cheers!
