the wiener mom's favorite game

Ahhh yes, fall is approaching! School has resumed and I am down a wiener. Big wiener is off to first grade. Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings I'm down 2 wieners, while Middle wiener is at preschool (Joy! Joy! The shrieking that lasted all summer has only caused minimal damage to my ears, full recovery may still be possible.) So for 2.5 blessed hours three days a week it's just me and Little wiener. And, he takes a nap, yeah! So mommy takes a little nap too, as interrupted sleep is not the wiener mom's best friend and causes her much irritability and general droopiness the next day. Maybe some day Little wiener will sleep through the night...
Anyway, on to the wiener mom's favorite game. When it's just me and Middle wiener and Little wiener is napping, Middle wiener has a new favorite game. Guess what? Unlike most new favorite games that wieners create (motorboat, Max and Ruby, uni-colored super tall Lego tower) the wiener mom LOVES this game.

What could this game be you ask? We call it the "We're so tired" game. It starts like this: all participating players are soooo tired. Tired enough that we have to lay down somewhere. Preferably a bed, but I'll settle for the couch or even the floor. Then, we pretend to sleep. Here's a secret, some of the participating players (me, but shhhh) may actually be sleeping. Middle wiener can play this game for upwards of half an hour. Half an hour of fake (or real) sleeping! Every once in a while he sits up and says, "Wake up! It's morning!" but usually we get tired again so quickly that we have to lay down again, within seconds really.
Some of you may be familiar with this game, but might know it by one of it's other aliases: hibernation, or operate on a patient, or Mommy is the boat that lies still.

Whatever you call it; I say let's play!
