Mom Talk

. . .the video game addiction I mean. Long before diapers and dance class and the pitter-patter of little feet, I was a bit of a game junkie. I would get hooked on a game and play for hours. My husband has the same illness but his hung on even after our daughter was born. Since the arrival of the Girl, my time is limited and vegging in front of a video game for 4 or 5 hours has just not happened. . .until now? Not yet. BUT, we got the Wii (for Christmas but we’re weak and already opened it) and it is a blast! I was up until midnight thirty playing The Legend of Zelda last night and this morning when my alarm went off, I was seriously dead tired. I stumbled into the kitchen where hubby was making his breakfast and told him how exhausted I felt. He replied, “But you got that horse to jump so it was all worth it!” My response, “Spoken like a true game nerd.” That didn’t phase him because he’s proud of it. We’ll see which wins out over the next few weeks, my need for sleep or my addiction to the game.
