Hee hee. Well, mommy's nap lasts about 2 minutes . . . then I gotta put baby down so he can sleep . . . and then I gotta do chores around here or occupy my older one. Guess you can call it a power nap - hee hee! Zzzzz!

I wrote this poem about boredom a while ago, I think I put it on here somewhere before but thought you may like it. Boredom I can knit and I can crochet, I can read and I can write, I can use a computer, So, why am I bored tonight? There's plenty in the house That I could and should do. So why am I not doing it? Does this happen to you? There's gardening and cross stitch And photography to try But am I doing anything? Oh no, not I. I'm sitting here bemoanin' The fact that I am bored. Oh, look I wrote a poem! I think the poems finished. So I will have to go Right back to being bored And watch a TV show.

hi dawn; sat down to type and I was so sleepy I slept Now I am awake. I did go d own and get my breakfast and came back up there to start mylotting only to fall asleep at my keyboard, so rather that get another black eye falling over and hitting the keyboard , I laid down and took a nap, not something I do that often in the day time. maybe i was just following my doctor's order, elevate your feet. he he.hate taking naps in the daytime.

I doodle and draw, or play online. I like the boredom haiku idea! I must try that. I like that haiku does not have to rhyme. My boyfriend and I end all our e-mails to each other with a little rhyme and after 5 months and several e-mails each day, I am running out of things that rhyme! Maybe I will switch it up and start in on the haiku!

Here is my attempt at it. :) So dawn felt sleepy as she stared at her computer, first it was the colors that crossed the boundaries, and the letters that got smudged, she dozed, and woke up just in time to keep her neck intact. The risks helped her realize she shouldnt get bored, and even if she felt sleepy, she shouldnt sleep, but the nice lunch that she had at mid day, once again started making her sleepy, so she decided she would type a nice letter to her dear friend, and she started well enough, somewhere in between the friend was forgotten, and some facts that were not to be revealed were revealed, not exactly but adequately, and to make matters worse, Dawn's boss just walked upto her table. Fearing that she'd be caught doing something she shouldnt in the office hours, Dawn tried to save the mail, before sending it. Instead, she pressed send! Now, here comes the crucial angle - the friend is the boss's wife. And what Dawn should not have told is about Boss cheating on her! Hope this works as boredome Haiku for you. :)

That might be interesting having TV to watch all the time, but I bet you don't get to concentrate on a whole show...

I'm a little late in responding, but you should have gone for a walk down by the lake and checked out the birds and little birdies. That's what I would have done. I hate being bored!

Hi Hofferp, How i wish our office is like Dawn's. Where she can enjoy such wonderful view. outside our office is a line of vehicles...traffic! no good view to keep me up and overcome boredom!
