*Sigh*

I’m sorry the posts have been so infrequent of late. My disposition fluctuates between exhausted and comatose – hardly conducive to writing those fun, informative, interesting and humorous entries for which I am so famousblog entries.

I hate to be a whinger because really, isn’t tiredness part and parcel (is that the right expression? you know for a long time I thought the expression was “for all intensive purposes” bwa!….but I digress) of being a parent – but this is bordering on the ridiculous. I do recall reading a comment from a blog (it might have been from Dooce) from a mother getting annoyed with other mothers complaining about sleep deprivation. Her comment went along the lines of “why is a mother’s sleep so damn precious”.

Let me tell you why my sleep or at the very least a couple of hours of UNINTERRUPTED sleep is so “damn precious” to me:

    Because I can’t seem to get any and like a spoilt brat I just want what I can’t have just be all difficult. *pout*
    I can’t function properly.
    I am really really grumpy.
    I don’t think I have enough milk.

I know eventually the boys will sleep through the night and be able to amuse themselves during the day so I can get a kip here and there but boy am I tired waiting.

I’m not sure if anyone is aware but POLAR bears and GRIZZLY bears are now having babies together.
I’m a HUGE fan of heterosis so I say bring on the hybrids! Actually I’m not so sure this is hybrid vigour in the true sense – these may just end up being the mules of the bear world but who am I to stand in the way of love?

Now people are trying to come up with a name for the bear.

Here are the suggestions so far:

1. Pizzly – excuse me? Pizzly? That sounds like a word my son would use for URINE. Yes I know it’s mixing the words together and my how original but PIZZLY? We’re talking about a huge white bear mating with a huge brown grizzly one and all you can come up with is wee-wee?

2. Grolar – No. Just no. All I can think of is granola and that doesn’t really sound so tough. I guess you could take some granola with you while on a camping trip you’ve organised in the faint hope of seeing one of these bears….

3. Nanulak – I can see this one working but I’m sure there is something better.

People..DID NOBODY EVEN THINK TO CONSULT ME? Here are my suggestions:

1. Mule bear – self-explanatory, really
2. RUN!
3. Grizzly-Polar Bear – I mean was that really so hard?
4. Polar-Grizzly Bear – depending on who was the father. Have to be PC and all.
5. The bear from LOST.
6. Identity crisis Bear. He is so going to be teased at bear school.

Any other ideas?
