Sleeping In
I tried sleeping in today but I couldn't. I got up at 7:17, cursed at the clock, and rolled over. Forty minutes later, I was wide awake and staring at my ceiling fan (which I discovered really needs dusted). So I did what any American would do, I turned on the TV.
To my surprise, MTV was playing a crappy music video! Did you even know MTV still plays music videos? I didn't. I thought that's why they made MTV2! But like I said, the video sucked, so I proceeded to flip through the channels until something interesting came on. Finally, I landed on the Discovery Health Channel and there was a special on about Progeria. I've seen a few of these specials before, but this one was brand new to me! I got so excited to learn about the rapid aging of children!
So there I was, in bed, watching kids grow into old people by the time they're teenagers. It was really quite sad, but I'm amazed by the human body and even more impressed by the human spirit. It's gotta be crazy being a parent of a child with progeria. Most children don't live past their early teens; it has to be terrible to know that your child could very well die before you. But you have to rise above it and make their short time here the best it can be! That's what these parents do; make their kids' lives the best they can be.
Then my show was over and I needed a shower. That means getting out of bed; out from under the warm, warm covers and into the chilly house. So instead of moving right away, I flipped through the channels. I miss daytime TV. I landed on Tyra, Tyra Banks attempt at a crappy daytime talkshow. It looks so terrible! I wish I could be at home to watch it. That way I could loath Tyra and her alien forhead even more! This episode was all about Tyra and her cheap ass.
Finally, I had to get out of bed and get ready for work. Now I'm here and I miss Tyra and my progeria children.
