"I'm Bored!"

We don't get much family time on the weekends anymore because DJ works every Saturday from seven a.m. until seven p.m. His days off are Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and once school is out ( June 25) we will be able to spend more time together as a family. But, until then, we have Sundays.

This past Sunday, we took the kids to the boardwalk. The majority of the time, Noah was whining about being bored and my favorite line, " There's nothing to DO here!" Really? REALLY? Because you are surrounded by fudge, candy and ice cream shops, arcades, a fun house, a little carnival, places to eat and, oh yes, there's the sand and the WATER.

I grew up on the beach too. But the beach I grew up on consisted of sand and water. That was it. There literally was nothing to do there but play in the sand and water. There weren't even restaurants except one little hamburger shack you passed driving in on the peninsula.

So, Mister Noah, fruit of my loins, the next time you complain about being bored, look around you:





I know, son, life is rough. I don't see anything to do either.
