Just call me one of the herd!

Okay - I have resisted for as long as I can, but now I'm joining the herd. I have never seen the point of gaming systems. Yes...I just said it. I have two boys (three if you count Steve) and we moved from the old PS2 to the XBox 360 and all I saw was $$$$ and time wasted for no good reason.

Then the Wii came along and everyone had to have one. The kids said PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, but this was 2 months after the $400 XBox. I of course being the practical one in the family said no.

Now I've listened to everyone go on and on about how fun the bowling, the tennis and every other game is, but I just can't get that excited about it. I mean if you want to bowl - go bowl right? So we travel 12 hours to CO and now I hear about the Wii fit. This is the new thing that everyone wants. In the back of my head I'm thinking - why not just go to the gym? That's what I do. Ahhh...but that was before. Before I actually tried it.

Yesterday I joined the masses searching for deals on school clothes at Penn Square mall with my kids in tow and what pray tell did they have there? Why a Wii station of course...with 20 Wii Fits set up for anyone and everyone to try.

So...being the squirt he is my younger son challenged me to the hoola hooping - I can't let a challenge go unmet. We hooped, and he won...the first round! It was addictive, and tiring! From there we moved onto skiiing and soccer ball heading, and even my first love yoga! What can I say - I'm hooked! I am now a Wii-aholic! I've been converted - there is a purpose! Now I just have to convince the man with the checkbook that we need one now!!!!!
