Emotions of Me

I saw this post over on Sara's blog and decided to grab the concept for my post today too.

When I first read it I thought, oh that's simple. What makes me happy? What makes me sad? What do I love? Then I went about my day doing laundry, helping Colby, cleaning the house, you know typical daily stuff. As I was doing it I was thinking... what does make me happy and sad? Happy was easy to think about. Happy is an easy emotion for me. But sad, that was a whole lot harder. I guess I always think of sad as a big emotion. I could tell you what makes me disappointed, frustrated, annoyed, but sad? Sad is for big things. To me sad and angry are big emotions it takes a lot to get me there. I always tell people, you've never seen me angry and you really don't want to. Sad is the same way. I can only think of a few times in my life that I was really truly sad. I don't know, maybe I over think things, but that's just the way it is.

So I'm changing my post to What makes me happy? What frustrates me? What do I love? And you'll just have to deal with it... ok?

What makes me happy?
- A good night sleep
- A healthy family
- Hearing my boys laugh
- Watching my sons learn
- Snuggling on the couch with my husband
- When Richard comes home
- Baking

- holidays
- a good book

What frustrates me?
- Short notice
- Annoying people
- Forgetting something
- Disrespect

I could go on and on with each list. But, I think I've touched the major things. So what do you love? What makes you happy? What makes you sad, ummm frustrated?
