Why, people?

When 14 month old is tired,he won’t just go to sleep? And why must he cry for ages before falling asleep? Even when I’m nursing him off to sleep he must have that last sob before he’s gone la-la.

When 3 year old is tired he will be VERY ANNOYING and ANGRY and cry for the slightest thing. And when I try to put him for a nap, he doesn’t want to. When I know and he knows and the WHOLE FAMILY can see he is exhausted. Why then does he finally fall asleep at the dinner table in mid mouthful? Yes, it *is* the cutest thing.

When 6 year old is exhausted and physically drained why does he STILL comes out of his room and say that he can’t sleep; he isn’t tired; he heard a funny noise?

And riddle me this, people. Why, when 32 year old is so tired in the middle of the day that she can barely open her eyes and she’s slurring her words when she’s reading the children a story, she just CAN’T have one short nap.

ONE SHORT NAP, IT’S ALL I ASK! *cries*

Just riddle me this, people. RIDDLE ME THIS.

*sigh*

Comments and Spam

I’m noticing a number of comments from readers end up marked as “spam” so if you’ve sent me a comment and it hasn’t shown up, I apologise. I have been running Akismet for a few months now and haven’t had any hassles until recently (that I am aware of, anyway).

While sifting through the spam to retrieve all my real comments there are the usual “casino online” and other unmentionables but I’ve also come across some genuine funnies. I have a feeling these spammers are suffering depression:

I’ve just been staying at home waiting for something to happen. I’ve just been letting everything wash over me. I can’t be bothered with anything recently.

*sigh* You and me both, love.

I’ve pretty much been doing nothing worth mentioning. I haven’t gotten anything done today. I haven’t been up to much , but oh well. I’ve just been staying at home waiting for something to happen, but so it goes. Pfft.

Awww chin up, sweetie. It isn’t all bad.

I haven’t been up to much recently, but whatever. I just don’t have much to say lately. Basically nothing happening to speak of. So it goes. My mind is like a complete blank. Such is life.

I’m so sorry. Is there anything I can do to help?

I feel like a fog, not that it matters. I’ve pretty much been doing nothing , but eh. Today was a loss. I haven’t gotten much done for a while.

*sniff*

I can’t be bothered with anything recently. I’ve just been sitting around doing nothing. Today was a loss. I just don’t have much to say. Nothing seems worth thinking about.

*cries*

And to think, here I was under the impression spammers had all the answers to my “intimate” problems, my weight issues and my gambling addictions and my drug dependencies. They’re always so willing to help, I had no idea they had problems of their own. :(
