RSS feed issues and the sleep deprived.
Just want to say sorry if you ended up getting like 15 feeds from me all at once, a few minutes ago.
I was trying to fix something in my xml source, and when I did, it caused feedburner to send out my last 15 posts all at once, at 11:07pm.
Really sorry about that.
Something happened where some of my posts showed up in my feed reader as just content summaries, and others were the full posts.
I went in and fixed the issue, but then it shot out all those posts.
I gasped like wicked loud, and screamed too.
"Oh no! That's like major post floodage! Ack!"
Sebastian asked why I screamed, I tell him, and he goes "Mom, you're such a freaking nerd. Step away from the box every now and then ok?"
So I said to him; "Yeah buddy, you step away from the xbox for a whole day, and I'll step away from my desk for a whole day. Deal?"
He says; "Are you crazy?!?"
"Uh-huh, just what I thought, now shush boy!"
He laughed and went back to getting his back pack ready for school tomorrow.
And speaking of school tomorrow, please oh please, do not let what happened this morning happen again tomorrow morning.
As I said on Sunday, I haven't gotten much sleep.
Last night, it caught up with me, so when the alarm went off this morning, I rolled over, turned on my lava lamp, shut off the alarm, and dozed back to sleep.
I woke in a jolting panic just a few minutes later, but damn, what if I hadn't?
I would have woken up hours later probably, and the kids would have totally missed school.
If they are later than 9am, they are not allowed to go to school that day unless they have a doctors note as the reason they were late, like an early morning appointment is the only valid excuse for being later than 9am.
I now have set both my radio alarm clock and my cell phone alarm, in hopes that if it does happen again, one or the other alarm, will wake me again so they can get out of here and go to school.
Not only do they need to go to school, but I need them to go for my own sanity.

they're old enough to have their own alarm clocks and be responsible.

They do, but as a responsible parent, it is my job to get up and make sure they get up and go to school.
I'm not one of those moms who just goes to sleep and leaves her kids, regardless of age, to fend for themselves.

I work in a school in England and get involved with pupil attendance from time to time and I have to say it is a nightmare when children come to school late.
What a great policy, not letting pupils into school if they are late. Some days our school would be empty! lol

Well that explains the post number boom I saw in my feed reader this morning. lol Ah, well at least I'm not the only one getting told to step away from the computer though. XD
I think that's a highly foolish policy for the school to have, not to mention, it really only hurts them. They need the kids in the seats if they want money. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.
