So while the boy was outside playing and my social butterfly was out at youth group I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to relax and stretch. I figured I deserved it. I turned on OnDemand and put a yoga exercise on. I grew rather impatient trying to find one that wasn't too "Namaste" or didn't require "humitating". Wasn't getting off to a good start huh? So I find one. I started out with a little prayer and then began. The first stretch I step right down on a piece of wood sticking out of my carpet. Jumped up and then performed surgery to get the splinter out. Ok, I was ok. I hit rewind back to the start. So then I get into the downward facing dog position. He has you doing deep breaths in between.
That's when all the fun began. The cat comes bolting into the room and jumps on my head and starts attacking my hair that is hanging down. I have to get down on my knees real quick to pry him off my head. Boy was I feeling so at peace! So while I was reprimanding the bad kitty (who thought I wanted to play more) my dog thinks she has to take over the situation and bark at the cat. I put the video on pause and then yelled at the dog for barking at the cat. I put the cat in the dining room so that at least he was two rooms away and the dog can chase him in there. As I'm holding the little furball I tripped over my hubby's size 13 sneaker which was about a foot away from the other sneaker that as I was trying to gracefully step over as I'm holding the cat in the air trying not to drop him. Kicked the shoe (I'm barefoot by the way) and it hits the dog. Yelled SNAP DIDDILY! (not sure what that means) Dropped the cat on top of the dog, the cat is now hissing and making haunted cat sounds. If my husband and children were around they would not call me blessed! I was done. I walked back into the living room to get away from the wild things. I go back and rewind the video AGAIN. Get back into the position and got a few stretches in when the cat comes flying into the room and jumps over my back and the dog comes flying in and clips my legs and somehow I wound up on my back. That was it! I was 6 minutes into a video that I had started 35 minutes prior.
I was now sore and nowhere near relaxed. Of course I turned off the video and sat on the couch and stared off into nowhere for probably 10 minutes. I think I felt my eye twitch! Looked down and there is the cat rolled into a ball peacefully sleeping on the floor and the dog is on the couch with her eyes blinking shut. So the whole moral of the story is don't do yoga. It causes splinters, big hair, back aches, rug burn, a bruised toe, cat scratches, Christian curse words and an eye twitch. I'm going to take a bubble bath!
OMG... I can't stop laughing!!! Sooo funny... sooo me! :o)
