Mood swings... now that is an understatement

Many of you have heard, and some have experienced, the emotional highs and lows of pregnancy, and I never would have imagined how sudden one's mood could change until I was pregnant. Today was no exception, but this specific scenario definitely provides for a good laugh. After all, you have to be able to laugh at yourself, right?

Sleeping was beyond impossible last night. I woke up 6 times to go to the bathroom and eventually gave in on the 7th, at 5:30am and decided I would just get up for good. After a few hours of relaxing and mindless TV watching, I had committed myself to exercising,and with a little motivation was able to get up from my cozy chair to start up the Wii Fit. Well, wouldn't you know it, the Wii wouldn't start one bit! I pressed the "On button" several times with little hope, even unplugging it and replugging it into a new outlet. Little did I know this would be such an emotional effort for me. My lack of success in starting the system, and not being able to do my workout routine, resulted in me immediately bursting into tears (yes, you read that correct, TEARS over the Wii). I cried for, oh, about 10 minutes and finally was able to bring myself together. When I did, I examined the Wii a bit closer... And wouldn't you know it? I didn't have the power cable plugged into the back of the game system!

For those of you who are curious, I did finally workout, and it turned my mood around, in a positive way, for the rest of the day.
