When you're bored and don't have anything to do.....

My husband is CONSTANTLY suggesting things for me to do "when you're bored and don't have anything to do."

I quite honestly HATE this. I am never bored. I never have nothing to do--I have to jump hoops to carve enough time out of my schedule to hit the grocery store! And the stuff he suggests is literally the last thing on Earth I would choose to do if I did have nothing to do.

Yes, on the one freak morning that for whatever reason I don't have 50 items on my daily to do, I want to go to the auto parts store and look at cell phone brackets for the car. (This came about because I showed him one on Amazon that I thought might work, and wanted to know if I should order it).

Or perhaps I should spend my time reading reviews on different tires for my next tire purchase (because I complained that the current ones were too loud--BUT the reviews said they would be quiet, so I don't know why he suggested that anyway.)

If I ever have a free morning, I'm getting a book and a Dailys and plopping my bottom in my hammock.

Oh yea! "When you're bored and don't have anything to do, pull those weeds out of the front flower bed..." You know, the one that is direct sunlight and like 40 degrees hotter than the rest of the yard at all times except friggin night, and doesn't have a proper boarder because he was too lazy to do it right the first time so everything grows into it.....yea.

And stuff that doesn't even need to be done, like touching up the trim on the inside of the closet where the paint bled--I don't care! You can't even see it unless you're IN the closet, and it's not a walk-in!

I don't actually do them either, I just hate hearing him tell me to.

It's always something that is his job that he doesn't want to do like washing his car.

Bahahahah Damo says this too. I'm just like oh well if I have time... then don't do it... If i'm bored I do my own things that need to be done that I never get around to
