BORED

It's a feeling I often JOKE I'd like to be more familiar with. But in truth, I don't like it. It's not that I DON'T have anything to do. It's just that I'm not doing it! Spring Break couldn't start quick enough around here! In fact, we've been anticipating it more eagerly than ever before! My oldest left within an hour of school letting out to go on a weekend trip to Six Flags. My daughter had a sleepover with her girlfriend and together they made crafts and baked cookies and jumped on the trampoline and stayed up until 3 o'clock this morning!!! I only made it to 1:30! My youngest got tired of having no one to play with and decided it was better to be a good sport with the girls than have nothing to do at all. He let them "do his hair" and dress him up for their own personal fashion show entertainment. I have to tell you, this is a BOY'S BOY - ALL THE WAY! So you know he was BORED!

We woke up late today to dark and dreary skies and a child with the flu! But now it's a GORGEOUS evening, the clouds have broken, my husband is out building a pen that our dogs CAN NOT constantly escape, and I am stuck here.

I saw "Horton Hears A Who" earlier for the first time ever and it was fantastic! But another movie sounds boring. No one feels well enough to play a game. I'm too tired to read. I'm too energetic to sit around inside. I can't vacuum because the patient is sleeping. And, not that this is in any way remotely related to my mood, but I'm craving an orange and don't have one. I'm agitated without being unhappy. Ever feel like this? So what do you do when you can't figure out WHAT you want to do?

(SIGH.)
