I Failed 3 Times!

Firstly, I must say that this is being written at 12:21 a.m. I am hoping this explains it all, but I am afraid it won't. Sophie is asleep behind me on our big comfy chair (because it's just too awkward and hard for me to lift her up and over the side of her crib, I always wake her up. And no, the side doesn't go down, its broke). I've had to jump up a few times to catch her from falling off the edge as she's thrashing around. I'm considering it my exercise for the day. My heartbeat is at least elevated. I'm patiently waiting for Jason to get home and snooping around on my favorite blogs (I greatly enjoy noticing who else is usually up this late). So I'm on my cousins new blog, laughing out loud, and posting the longest comment ever (also filled with ()'s I apparently love them tonight) and I find myself staring at the 'word verification' wondering just what letter that is suppose to be. It looked like a g combined with a j. I sat there, staring, wondering if this was some foreign language symbol they just threw in for fun or if I was really just that dumb. After a minute or two, I decided to go with a "c" and an...wait, is that an i or a j? I think I opted for the j. Apparently I was wrong. The next word comes up and again I think, "oh man, this one is hard too!" Failed that time, and the next. Finally, on my fourth try, I got it right. Is it just me? Is it just late? Or are those things really tricky sometimes?

Amy, I am 100% certain I have gotten them right and it still said I got it wrong. Why isn't there a "pass" button? I would be like, pass, pass, pass... pass.

Sorry, I guess I'm blog snooping, but I found yours on Alicia's blog and you are cracking me up.

I loathe word verification. Apparently as I'm teaching my kids the alphabet, I need to throw in a lesson for myself, because I almost always get it wrong. And really, why do they have to cram all the letters together?

9 times out of 10 I have to retype. I thought I was the only one.

I also hate the word verification! It always makes me feel just that much more stupid. Oh yeah, thanks for having it, by the way...heehee!

I'm a total blog snooper too...as if you couldn't tell!

I hate the word verifications! They are so annoying and nearly impossible! Oh look. There's one below. I wonder how many times I'll have to try to get it right :)For example....is that a v or a u???
