Boredom leads to trouble. It's that simple. When boys are bored, they get into trouble. They will wrestle, fight, find things that are adventurous, start a project and don't finish it, or eat! Doesn't that sound like grown men, too? We didn't have much planned for today. The weather was cool, but sunny, they didn't feel like swimming or playing outside, or calling a friend. SO, what did they do? fight and mess with each other all day long. I was on-call to referee most of the day. I could have drop all of my chores and responsibilities and did something with them, but I HAD to get house work done and my home business work done. But, that didn't work either, because I was constantly interrupted. My boys don't fight physically to hurt each other, they just wrestle on the floor until someone gets hurt or cries.
They tried fishing today. I found them hitting each other with their poles, throwing worms, and not playing so nicely with very small fish they just caught. Then, they tried to get their dad's tools out and build something. Which never got finished, only they left the tools out. And, every five minutes they raided the refrigerator and told me that there wasn't any food in the house. Yeah right! I just baked them banana bread, home made soup and cookies two hours earlier. They even did their chores with a gruff! Oh well, I've had days like this before and there will be plenty more of them to come. I just need to be one step ahead of them and on my guard. When is daddy coming home?
