I'm so bored that I was actually looking forward to seeing "Space Chimps" at an actual honest to god movie theater today.

Yes, you heard me right -- I was excited about "Space Chimps".

We made it as far as the theater when, for a variety of reasons, Mo decided "this just isn't going to work" so we came home instead of seeing the movie.

I'm so bored my bored is bored.

Summer sucks.

I like it for a while, but.

Sucks.

("Space Chimps," on the other hand, sounds like it might not totally suck.)

I wish I could tell you whether it sucks or not.

Oh, the movie?

The review I read of it today made it sound surprisingly good.

Sorry it didn't work out to see it this time.

Have you seen WALL-E yet?

Daughter M has been playing video games and hanging out here for two straight days. The mid-summer doldrums are pervasive.

I'm working too much to be bored.
I'm frustrated.
I haven't been to the pool yet this summer.

I hate this. I hate feeling like I'm missing summer.

This movie is almost over. The wrap party is Saturday actually.
A week and a half at the most.
And I'me very grateful to be working.

Just giving you a different perspective....

I wish I could sympathize, caribou, but right now I'd give my right arm for a deadline, or really any excuse at all to lock the door and say I need at least three hours of uninterrupted time to focus on something I need/want to focus on.

Right now it seems like everything needs my immediate attention and it is all mind numbingly dull and even admist the dullness the every few minute interruptions are annoying.

Seriously, it is turning me into a bad person.

Okay, it ain't so.

Maybe not a bad person, but not the person I used to be and still want to be.

Oh dear.

Can you tell us why?

(I want to see Wall E, and I just bet nobody will come with me....)

Oh, I'm not that "bad", it just feels like bad to me.

Mo's been going through a hard time ever since Mr. B had to take a business trip. He can't stand to be even on a different floor of the house from me. He's feeling insecure no matter what we do. He had a huge panic attack when I took him to camp this week which resulted in him not attending camp (and me losing the camp fees).

And it's okay. I get it. Getting it doesn't make it easy.

Mr. B is the one who is getting the bulk of my frustration of being bored out of my gourd.

I want to see WALL-E too. We tried. That day we only made it to the corner before Mo decided we had to go back home.

Blimey.

When's Mr Bloody B back?

You know...these kids. It's just one damned thing after another....

I have more Moes at one time now than I have ever had (sibling groups and all)....and the pattern is SO similar.

A period where some damn thing is obviously being dealt with at some level....sturm und drang....people despairing and wanting to give up....then...a sunny upland...calm, light....everyone (no matter how much we keep telling ourselves "No!...this is NOT the end of it!") wanting to believe the child is "better". Then...kapowy!..onto the next thing...and everyone despairing "They've gone backwards...nothing works..."..and we have to keep telling ourselves that no, this is another level.

I live in So Ca where winter and summer are almost the same. Maybe you shuld move to a different climate

Boomer, you been taking photos?

0 Replies

Ha! Mr. B has been back for three weeks!

This too will pass..... until something else comes along.

But I have to figure out how to manage my boredom in the meantime as it isn't helping anyone.

Yeah, I've been taking some photos but honestly they all look like shit because my brain is so scrambled with distraction.

I think caribou does live in SoCal.

The good news is my brother is going to be stationed in Washington State starting next month! He'll have to spend a year of that in Iraq which is a complete drag but it will only be a few hour drive to go visit him. Mo adores him, as do I so it will be an easy adventure.

So, you know, there's that.

Bored? Did somebody say they were bored?

Time to get out the job jar.

No solution for the boredom, but I can tell you that Wall-E is really good.

I go for a walk in the bush when I'm bored. By myself, moving carefully, slowly and quietly. Its amazing what you see if you take your time. the ground flora, birds, animals.

Looking into not at the bush seems tobe the key (if that makes sense). lyre birds, bowerbirds, wallabies, gliders.

Suggest you dress as a pirate, kidnap Mo and sail away to foreign shores.
