For New Year's this year we had D & E over. I tried and tried to rack my brain for what we could do to ring in the new year right. I'd heard about this Wii game called Just Dance 2 and thought it sounded like fun, but didn't do anything about it because what if it's totally last year and I was a total nerd.
Okay, I'm a total nerd anyway, but you don't want your daughters rolling their eyes, going, "really mom, really?"
When the girls came over and I mentioned the game, they started talking at racehorse speeds about this move and that song and we.so.need.to.get.it.NOW! We took a late evening drive to the store and purchased Just Dance 2.
Oh! My! Word! Such a fun game! You dance the same movements as the person on the screen, then you laugh at how nerdy you are, then you sweat some, then you sit, too tired to do another one. Then our daughter finds a song that you have to do with her, so you take a sip of water, catch your breath and end up dancing for the next 2 hours.
It was such a great way to bring in the New Year. All our girls giggling, staying up past their bedtime. N being a nerd right along side me and doing disco moves with me. I realized just how blessed I am. No need for a resolution, just need a reminder to slow down and enjoy this moment.
