funny. and not so funny.

By loafe 3 February, 2005 random

I like the new approach comment spammers are taking. The most recent comment said: I really appreciate blogs like this one becuase it is insightful and helps me communicate with others. thanks.also, that guy billyz, I really need to talk to you about that cure you mentioned.

Oh comment spammers, you sure know your way to a girl&#146s heart. Through generic and random flattery directed at no one and everyone. And of course the old standby, poor grammar and spelling. I&#146m all a-flutter now.

Ryland is waking up every 2 hours during the night. I can&#146t figure out why and I&#146ve tried a million different things (except for the cry-it-out method, which I refuse to do), including some of the suggestions given to me here on loafe. Nothing works. I am trying so very hard to be patient and wait it out, because eventually this has to change. It can&#146t last forever, can it? CAN IT?

At least I can look forward to death.

I have nothing but pure hatred for every mother who tells me about how her perfect frigging baby sleeps 8 or 9 or 10 hours at night, without so much as a peep. I hate these people and I know I can&#146t light them on fire or throw stones at them or make them explode with just my eyes. But inside I burn. My only solace? Knowing they&#146ll pay. Oh yes, how they&#146ll pay. Their sweet sleeping little babies will make them pay, maybe not today and maybe not tomorrow, but someday. They&#146ll get their due and I&#146ll get my justice.

someday.

    I thought for a moment.. just a moment, how if you gave me a list of those that make you burn hottest, how I would go out and settle their hash with you, for you. But then sanity crept back in and I decided not.

    Ryland’s sleep pattern will get better,it will.Most babies once they start a bit of solid food there tummies stay fuller, longer and sleep should be better.
    My 8 month old sleeps in the night now but he needs his dummy(pacifier) and he loses it 2 or 3 times a night. He always goes back to sleep but even now I am still getting up for the damn dummy a couples of times so tiredness is still a pretty strong factor.(And I havent even mentioned my restless 4 year old who plays musical beds all night!)
    I too would be very jealous of any mum who feels bright and sparky in the morning.
    I actually always wonder, does anyone actually wake up feeling bright and sparky?
    I can’t remember feeling it.

    Thanks Fi, for your comments. They were so reassuring that I am glad you posted it twice!

    And anyone, mom or not, who wakes up feeling bright and sparky can kiss off.

    I’ve never been a morning person and never will be.

    Anyway, thanks.
