Wii Wii Wii all the way home
Posted by houndrat on Sunday Nov 30, 2008 Under Uncategorized, babies, family life, health, mommiesOh yeah. There’s nothing like a baby on a time change to put a little extra spring in your step. Or a little extra baggage under your eyes. No, really–I enjoy waking up at 4:45 in the morning. Almost as much as I enjoy cutting hound dog toenails. It just hacks me off a teensy weensy bit that she goes back to sleep instantly, whereas I toss and turn, beat my pillow, and check the clock every five minutes in some sort of psychotic, sleep-deprived, delirium-induced ritual. Hopefully this is not indicative of what to expect for the upcoming month. Because there’s nothing worse than a grumpy Santa. Bah humbug, already.
So, I just had a birthday the day after Thanksgiving. Which was actually quite nice, once we got past the baby plane vomiting incident. And no, I did not turn 45, regardless of what the stinkin’ Wii fit says. That has got to be the most masochistic birthday present ever. I mean, I did ask for one, which demonstrates that I’m obviously a glutton for punishment. But seriously, to add 7 years to my actual age just because I can’t stand on one leg and balance without my foot looking like it’s having a seizure? Totally unfair. It’s not like the darn thing can actually see my wrinkles. Or can it? CAN IT? And I fail to see what’s wrong with missing a measly eight gates on the downhill slalom game. I mean, if they were all that important, they should really think about putting them closer together. Like in a straight line.
I don’t know about you, but so far, I’m finding 38 to be a bit of an awkward age. It’s too old for mini-skirts, yet too young for a mid-life crisis. Maybe I could combine the two and have a mini crisis. Which is in the works if that baby keeps waking me up butt early. How can I be expected to assume crazy balancing poses when I can barely keep my eyes open? On second thought, maybe I should try closing them the next time I slalom–it could only be an improvement.
I guess I’ll give the Wii fit another chance–’tis the season, after all. But seriously–if I see “Wow, your wrinkles look way more pronounced this morning–Add five more years to your Wii age,” up on the screen, I’m getting out the jackhammer.
