Are you ever bored?

I'm never bored either. I can always find something to do or I can read a book.

Yes and no. I get bored during required things, like business meetings haha  During my down time I'm never bored, there is always something that needs to be done.

I don't focus on the boredom, but it is hard. I'm a SAHM with a child that goes to elementary school. Her schedule is such that even a part-time job would mean I couldn't be there for her during summer and other school breaks. During the these breaks my time is not my own. During the school day, housework alone isn't enough to fill my day. I do have interests that involve being around other people but we're committed to being together as a family in the evening and on weekends - which is when most of these activities and classes happen.

I now have an eighty-hour work week. I don't have time to be bored.

I'm a single mom of four young kids, work part-time, volunteer part-time, back in school full time....no time for boredom. 

Sitting at swim practice, I am bored.  Today we have an 8 hour swim meet. At home I can always find something to do.

I get bored of being by myself.... I don't have many friends here, and I think that would help.  But that said, I find things to do, so I am not often without things to do.

This is me.  I am definitely getting some kind of part time job this fall!  Last year I just wasn't ready since we moved but this year I'm beyond ready.  I miss my part time job with American Greetings from in Ohio, but I hope to get some temp office jobs this fall at dh's work.  If that doesn't work I'll do merchandising again, but don't want to.  There are always things house wise to do but filling my day with cleaning is mind numbing, boring, and I can't stand it any more!!

I wish I had time to be bored.
