But seriously, your time is what you make of it. I've been a single parent for about 12 years but I've still found time to learn the violin and now my kid and I are taking Italian classes.
I also don't believe that doing nothing is always wasted time or something to feel guilty about. I told my kid that it's good to be bored sometimes. That's when you can daydream, get creative, solve problems or think in ways that you've never thought before.

Indeed. Boredom? Well, one has only one's self to blame for that. Good to see that you and your daughter can take advantage of that free time to explore your imaginations. My sons are never bored. When they were younger, we kept then busy (like you have with your daughter). They're always busy with whatever they are interested in, which makes for a full life.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
