I thought about it for a couple days and can't figure it out. I thought you were talking about your kids, but maybe this is just a poem about boredom. There isn't enough linking the first and second stanza. The first is like flirting on the couch good monotony, the second is lonely by yourself boohoo monotony.
Imagery is amazing and the tone is spot-on. I love me some sharply sad edges, and I admire your deftness with the real and imagined. It was mentioned in today's reviews. Thank you for sharing.
Ironic (I hope that's your intent) and vivid. One quibble--I think "aflutter" is one word.
