Bored. I've had moments, sure.
I used to work 50-60 hour weeks for over 10 years and made lots of money doing it. I managed 7 departments and over 70 employees....
Now, however, I run a small business in my home- which keeps me busy and I enjoy it alot. I also take care of elderly parents who live here on the property in a small home. I bake our meals from scratch and am able to save thousands each year by being a more frugal, aware shopper, I am home each day for my teen when she gets home from school. My husband and I have a firewood business and I run the splitter...hard work, but it is another avenue to keep me home for my parents. i breed labradors...my female is pregnant and due next month. I make our presents. I babysit my grandchildren when one of the parents needs help. I help senior citizens that I come across understand protecting their finances from fraud.
Most importantly, I have learned how to enjoy the day as it comes. I love sunrises and sunsets...I enjoy my daffodils and tulips...i enjoy my husband and am grateful for his support in my staying home.
And I know, when the day comes that my parents are no longer here with me, that I did absolutely everything I could for them while I had the chance.
Bored....maybe...and wonderfully so. Thanks for asking.
