I am bored off my face!!
I have been homebound for days because my son is injured due to a burn and we are all starting to climb the walls! We have watched enough movies... played enough video games... built enough lego... we even spent the afternoon making a comic strip about 00 stuff 7 and his sidekicks out on crazy adventures! My only adult company is out with other adults and frankly I'm a bit relieved because I knew I didn't want to be in a heavy drinking situation.... but this wasn't the alternative I had in mind when I was thinking of an excuse to bail on the festivities.
My son is doing better... he is starting to heal and is in much better spirits. There is no quick fix just time and TLC.

I'm a single dad and my son is an only child. So I understand how difficult it can be after a few days of entertaining, cooking, and having conversations with a little one.

For me, boredom/loneliness are big triggers. What helps me is to try and weigh up the temporary feeling of boredom with the temporary reprieve alcohol might give, but with all of the horrendous consequences. I'm just avoiding all people and situations of any risk and working at trying to tolerate boredom.
It's hard work though!!

Yeah back when I was a single mother I got really into online dating and chatting to pass the lonely nights... but now I'm living with a great guy and I don't think he would appreciate that. I loved the random factor! There were a lot of oddballs but every once in awhile I would start up a conversation with someone completely fascinating who I never would of met in my real life.
But I seriously can't watch any more television or read anymore and I'm not tired or hungry. I am wanting to leave. my. house. I can only imagine what my injured boy is going though. I am 36 and he is 10. He has been confined to the couch for DAYS!
