DEATH:

Somewhere deep inside

There is an angel spirit

That will see my dad

***********************

BOREDOM:

Spring to a new life

Helping others to feel glad

Refresh your own soul

************************************

PARENTING:

Mom’s are people too

They make mistakes and they bleed

More for their boy and girl

********************************

SUMMER:

Through the setting sun

Escapes a burst of purple

Flowers are pure joy

Books, Movies, TV, Blogging, Music, Writing, Computer, Books…..Still bored after all those options? Get a grip! I’m generally not bored, and I’m generally not fussy. I’ve always been able to occupy my “alone” time. In childhood, our mom said I was happy to play in my room all by myself but that my older sister needed to be entertained all the time. I see that with my own children now: my oldest child needs to be entertained and my second born is more content and doesn’t mind alone time (though she probably wouldn’t admit to it). Maybe it has to do with birth order.  The first-born child does get undivided attention, where us second born (or babies) have never known anything else except sharing. We’ve never had undivided attention. Maybe it’s a coping mechanism or just maybe we are more content. Or it’s simply a personality issue. Alone time, to me, doesn’t mean I’m bored, it means I’m comfortable with myself.
