Final Off Track - Day 1

Well, day one has gone something like this:

10am "Mom, I'm bored."

10:15 "Mom, I'm bored, what can I do?"

10:30 "Mom, no one will play with me"

10:45 "Mom, what can I do?"

11am "Can I call a friend?"

11:15 "Mom, it's boring today"

You get the idea???

What the heck! It's a gorgeous day out, we have a trampoline and swings and scooters and balls and bikes... What do these people want from me?

Finally, a couple of friends were able to come over and play. A brother and sister. You know how sometimes when your kids have friends come over, they will be distracted and just play happily??? Yeah, didn't happen. This brother and sister seem to have the same disability as my children. They couldn't get along much better than my own. LOTS of fun.

Friends went home around 3 and suddenly it was:

"Mom can I call ______?"

"Mom, I'm bored."

"Can we go..."

"I want to do a sleepover"

"There's nothing to do!"

I can't win.

Did I mention it's just day 1?

well, you can threaten them that if they say they are bored they'll have to go to their scary aunt lindsay's house to do yard work. i remember being so excited to go off track, but then feeling that exact same way.

Why do they do that??? Just think, it's their last time off track for the rest of the year! Next time turn the hose on them, that will spice up their day :)

Bord is a four letter word at our house....it has to be creatively spelled....but you get the idea. Even one "Mom I'm bored"....and the kids get a whole new side of me. I think it is one of the worst words ever! Good luck!!!!!

I remember those days. Luckily I worked and didn't start hearing this until 3:30....then my ears would bled.
