Make My Saturday Sweet - Blog Hop #29


Today I’m participating in Janine’s
Finish the Sentence Friday” writing prompt,
so sit back and enjoy a good read!

Test Blog

One time when I was bored out of my mind, I…

picked up the novel, Die unendliche Geschichte (The Neverending Story), by Michael Ende, from off of my grandparents’ bookshelf. I was a child living in Germany and visiting my grandparents (my Oma and Opa). In those days there weren’t too many programs on TV and very few were geared towards children. Sometimes the weather was too bad to roam outside. I also didn’t have anyone to play with unless a friend came to visit, but it was a 2 hour drive from our home and from where my friends lived to my Oma and Opa’s home at the North Sea. German was my second language, but the novel was really difficult to read. Many of the words I didn’t even recognize. It took me several days, but eventually I finished it.

Since I got married and had kids, I don’t have time to be bored. My kids are rarely bored too, because they have more things and more good friends to keep them occupied today than I did back in my day. They also have daily chores, which aren’t hard to do, and this also keeps them busy.

Now on to the blog hop...

Oh I loved and sounded like a great book to read. I am with you and when I was younger there weren't a ton of shows on and not many for kids. So sounded like a great way to entertain yourself. Thank you so very much Christina for linking up with us!! :)

Thanks so much for linking up with us! I totally agree- we moms have absolutely no opportunity to be bored. Boredom is a luxury! ;)

These days I don't get bored easily Tina. If I do feel slightly bored I get busy! Thanks for hosting and have a great weekend.
My recent post Question Time
That just reminded me that on a trip to Spain once, I picked up a copy of Don Quixote in Madrid. I was pretty fluent in Spanish back then but got too frustrated trying to read/translate and gave up on it. :(
Brand new follower! Just found you via today's linky!
Such a cute, fun blog! Thank you for sharing!

Sounds like a hard book! I like to read anything that's available, so I understand. I am visiting with FTSF blog hop. I followed you on GFC.

My recent post Friday Friends - When I Was Bored Out Of My MInd!!
I'm never bored either these days! I actually sometimes wish for more time in the day. Unless I'm completely wiped out ~ then I can't wait for bedtime :)

Happy Saturday and thanks for hosting!

I loved that book. Of course I read it in English, which is my first language, and not because I was bored :-) First time visitor from FTSF.
