Unbelievable!
I snuck downstairs for a drink at 10pm and guess what I found. My mum… On my computer! Emailing, downloading software, even playing a game!
That’s why she’s been so tired this week. She’s as bad as me!
I’ve realised we’ve both been overdoing things a bit lately. I guess my mum needs the “No Internet” rule even more than I do; this time we’ve both agree to stick to it.

Zzz.
Sorry, just dozed off at the keyboard again. What was I saying? Right. Yes.
So I took SpectacularSpookySara’s advice and set my alarm for 4am every day to get online before mother wakes up! Problem is it’s making me so tired I keep falling zzz… Sorry. Did it again.
I can’t talk to my mum about it, she keeps dozing off at the breakfast table as well. She must be busy with work.
What should I do?
Should I keep getting up early or admit defeat? Or is there another way round this?
Keep your ideas coming… I’m just off for a quick nap…

This is an outrage! It is an affront to my human rights!
My so called mother has cut off my internet access! She’s put some stupid timer on which mean I can’t go online after 9pm.
When I threatened to sue she said it was for my own good. Something about how I need sleep if I am to be the first woman to make it to Mars by age 25.
9pm! What if I get an email at 9.05? I mean software updates don’t just download themselves! Ok they do but that’s not the point.
How can I get around this barbaric cruelty? Should I just accept my mum is right and I need sleep?
Has this ever happened to you?
