My oversleeping problem is actually an insomnia problem, compounded by the fact that I take public transportation. I was up at various points during the night, and CANNOT get back to sleep, sometimes because my hip hurts, but sometimes just because I am awake. If it is 4 am or after, I sometimes just get up, which is fine, but whether I wake up at 1 am or 4 am, I almost always fall back asleep at 6 am. And I really have to be awake by 6:30 - 7:00 in order to be ready for the bus at 7:28. Today I woke up at 7:11- I did make it though, probably because I showered, washed my hair and laid out my clothes when I was awake from 4 - 6 am.
Wow, that was long. I am able to sleep through if I take a benedryl, but that leaves me so groggy in the morning.
Shit My Kids Ruined
Holy crap, is that normal? I won't complain about my cats anymore. Sheesh.
You know who'd pay more? SATAN!
I'm pretty sure that Nick Denton is Satan's proxy on Earth.

Hey, I linked that a week ago! Skimmer.
Holy crap, is that normal?
I dunno... not in my house. The worst my kids ever did was Abby once drew on the television screen with crayons, but we had a screen protector on it, because... we had kids.
Holy crap, is that normal?
Yes. I never took pictures of the 200 some vinyl LPs my son played frisbee with. Then disco danced on top of. My entire Elvis collection destroyed in a matter of minutes.
ION, I love The Daily Telegraph.
Have aliens hijacked Voyager 2 spacecraft
IT left Earth 33 years ago, now it's claimed the Voyager 2 spacecraft may have been hijacked by aliens after sending back data messages NASA scientists can't decode.
NASA installed a 12-inch disk containing music and greetings in 55 languages in case intelligent extraterrestrial life ever found it.
But now the spacecraft is sending back what sounds like an answer: Signals in an unknown data format!
The best scientific minds have so far not been able to decipher the strange information – is it a secret message?
Alien expert Hartwig Hausdorf said:"It seems almost as if someone had reprogrammed or hijacked the probe – thus perhaps we do not yet know the whole truth"
Yeah, that makes sense....
Leif has drew on many things with crayons. Taken out a TV. Taken out a bookshelf. Put a couple holes in the wall. Made some remarkable messes with lotion. Damaged a sofa. Destroyed mini-blinds. Spilled paint on the carpet. There's probably been some other stuff I've forgotten.
Emaryn has poured some maple syrup on the carpet. That's about it.
It took constant vigilance to keep Emmett from ruining stuff in his toddler years. But we did. Except for my Buffy figures. He ruined all those. And in a scene mirrored in Matt Groening's Will & Abe cartoons, he was hell on pop-up books. If there was quiet in the house for more than a minute then I knew he was up to something.
I can't imagine leaving a 3 y.o. alone in the bathroom long enough to fill the tub to overflowing.
