I sat in front of the computer, and then figured I would just turn it off, because I have nothing to say today.
Except I stopped myself because I somehow thought it felt like cheating. So, here I am, writing for the sake of writing.
Perhaps this is one of those times as a blogger when you realize you may have blown your wad the first year. I’ve told you all the good stuff already. Or perhaps, I’m just bored with everything… unaffected… tired. I don’t really know. Lucky you. You get to witness my stream of consciousness at this moment.
Overall, I think it’s because there is no drama right now in my life.
My kid isn’t in school yet, so we just hang out together.. ALL. THE. TIME. We’ve read the same stories (because he never gets tired of them). We’ve played the same pretend games. He’s almost three, and not really open to suggestion on what we cook in our pretend kitchen. It’s cookies or cake… that’s it.
I’m bored with being a stay at home mom.
I’ve got a case of the blahs.
What I need is a scandal.
So, I’m packing up my boy, and we’re gonna go places today. I’m going to make him wear a wig, just for fun.
I am also debating spending the day pretending we don’t speak English.
And pointing at strangers while I yell angrily in a foreign language.
And when I get bored with that, I think I will knock on the doors of my neighbors and introduce myself. I think part of my boredom is coming from isolation.
“Hi, I’m Jenni. I just wanted to introduce myself. I would love to come in and have you bake me a cake.”
Or maybe I should be happy that things are relatively calm right now. Maybe I should spend the day basking in the cuteness of my son, lounging in the backyard drawing with crayons and munching on grapes.
Nah.
Where’s that effing wig…
Ooooh, baby, been there. Pick a good wig and create an adventure!

Nice. CREATE the drama!
I hang out with my kid all day too and he’s not even 2 yet, which means I can’t even hold a conversation with him. Your ideas sound like a blast. I might try yelling at people in a foreign language.
Would love a picture of a wigged Bam Bam. Have fun!

OMG…it DOES get so boring, but a friend of mine told me “boring is good sometimes.” WTF??? I guess she means that it’s better than traumatic incidents.
I would totally bake you a cake…come on over! I even have icing (and wine)!

I hate boredom almost as much as high waters. You know, when pants are just a little too short and you look like one of the characters from Revenge of The Nerds?
I hope one of your neighbors bakes you a cake because you’re awesome.
When I feel like this, I go to the playground and try to “pick up” new moms. :-p
Eat a brownie.

Calm is good. I often have the blahs and I just say, eh about 3 people read my blog so luckily I get away with not posting.
Being at home got rough. I think by the time I went back to work we were both ready. She was bored of me and I was running out of things to do without letting her watch tv all day.
You could start a cake peddling business and push your cute kid around as a salesman. Just a thought.
Mama,
We all get bored with being at home ALL>THE.TIME!!!! But luckily, it passes. Kids hit a milestone, or start school, or another ones along, or there is some kind of play date drama.Boredom will pass, it comes in waves. You could always join a class with Bam or set up some play dates with crazy mama drama.I tried that once when I was bored.I’ve since decided boredom beats mean bitches , hands down,any day of the week. Wish I lived closer, I’d bring the girls over and we could take the kids to the park and people watch:) Chin up, sweet potato.It’ll get better.P.S. I rather like the stream of consciousness.
