Mom, I'm bored...

Those words all mothers have come to dread.  It can come from the mouth of your child, no matter the age...even when they are 24!

Good mothers have all resources available to create an interesting and creative project that will distract the bored child from the boredom..

Trust me, I've been a mom over 40 years, I was ready! 

For this project, all you need is dog shampoo, a bath tub and:

an English mastiff:


A basset hound...
 

If that doesn't cure the boredom, you can add:

A second English mastiff, especially if you have one over 200 pounds.  That way, when he sits down, he creates a dam that the water won't pass!



Add a long hair black cat for good measure...


Might as well complete the project, there is one more cat somewhere...


Nope.  He declined the opportunity.  We never argue with a cat with claws...

So, how do you cure boredom?  I usually say I am never bored, but I did remember the one time I was bored silly.  I was in the hospital, waiting for Mark to bring me newspapers, books, knitting...ANYTHING!  I was only waiting 20 minutes, but I managed to dial 'time and temperature' 30 times!

Got things to keep me busy waiting for me now, so I'll just remind you, go out and be a blessing to someone!

Love ya!

My children never use that word out of fear that I might find them something to do. Let's see there is laundry that needs washed/folded, a dishwasher that needs unloaded/reloaded, or the floors could use a good sweeping. For some reason they are they are never that bored, LOL!
