Sometime manic episode stories are pretty funny.

This one still has me smiling.

I finally got some actual sleep last night.  Before I sent the kids to bed I told them not to wake me before noon and laid out their breakfasts and everything so they’d be set when they woke up.

I woke up before they did and I wasn’t up until noon.  THAT in and of itself was pretty awesome, but then I decided to sit on the front door h for coffee, smoking, and poker playing.  I turned on some music on my kindle while I played some online poker.  Figured I’d let the kids sleep in a bit.

Well, about 3 hands into the tourney I was playing, “pound the alarm” by Nick minaj started playing.  I turned it up a bit because I was in that kind of jiggle my booty yep of mood.  Went all-in on the worst holdem hand… 2 7 offsuit, not paying attention, thank rhubarb I never play for real money lol, lost horribly.  Shrugged off the lost and decided to dance around a bit.  It was a great workout!

Little did I know…the kids were watching me.  Apparently I looked like “a very jiggly, person shaped jell-o jiggler.”  That comes from a 6yr old…but according to my own two kids I looked “exactly like Wanda Sykes playing the voice of a dancing orangutan not caring what anyone thinks.”

Apparently, like like that is pretty awesome.  The kids then decided to have a “So You Think You Can Dance Like an Orangutan with Wanda Sykes’s Voice” contest of which I won the grand prize.  (2 plastic dinosaurs and 4 handpicked flowers from my garden)

Now we’re all at my sister’s house cleaning and dancing like the crazy people we are.

It’s been a good day :p
