I'm a very sleepy smurf

First can I just say that I am NOT happy about this time change.  I am so tired I feel like I can fall asleep right now at my desk.  Ugh! Stealing an hour of sleep from me on top of taking away my darkness is never a good thing to do to me.  I would say it makes me grumpy but I'm too sleepy to find the energy to be grumpy.  LOL  Anyway, I just had to get that off my chest.  I feel a little better now. :)

So my bigger complaint is that I went to the Dr. last week and they decided to measure my height.  No that is not the complaint part.  I'm getting there.  So I think, Ok no problem.  I already know I am a shorty.  I'm 5'2.  I have been made fun of all my life for being a smurf.  It has been my nickname for as long as I can remember.  So imagine my surprise when the girl told me I was 5'1.5.  WHAT?!?!?!?! 

I said to her "That's wrong!  Do it again!"  She gave me this look like I was some crazy girl and measured me again.  Yep.  Still 5'1.5.  What the Heck!!!!???  Someone stole half an inch from me?  They just snuck right in and stole it out from under me.  How could this have happened? I get back to work and email my mother with this tragic news. 

Her reaction......  She doesn't seem very surprised. I said.  "The Dr's office lied to me. They said I am only 5'1.5" and her reply was...  "Well I don't actually think they lied but we will go ahead and say they did."

Hmph!  Seriously?  So me not being in the greatest of spirits responded with...  "Oh yeah!  Gee Thanks...  Guess what?  You aren't 5'3 by the way!"  Ok..  a little childish of me, I know...  but It's like I lost all control of my reactions for a moment. 

I am convinced there is a thief among us and the walked off with my very minimal height.  Do you all know how detrimental a half an inch is to a smurf?  It's like an entire world!  And somebody stole it.  Where are the police when you need them! I need to file a report! 

Then..... my mother says to me "Ummm. honey...  you have always been 5'1.5.  I just told you that you were 5'2 because  our whole family rounds up.  Always has." 

"Are you joking me right now!????  So all this time I had this half an inch that was apart of me, and now I find out that it was all imaginary.  Well that's just great!!!!" Way to ruin my day. 

So I guess it's true.  I am truly a smurf after all.  But for the record.... I am NOT changing my height on my drivers licence.  Just sayin!

So this has been a bad week.  I had half an inch stolen then I had an hour stolen from me.  Geeze...
