Why is it that when I was working and would get home from work starving and exhausted at 7 p.m. telemarketers/delivery men/long-lost friends would call at 7:15 p.m.?
Then I stopped working and was able to sleep in every morning - but the aforementioned started calling at 8:01 a.m.?
And then I had a baby...and his precious long nap was from 9 a.m. to 11:00 a.m, so of course my dentist always had to call to confirm my cleaning appointments at 9:26 a.m.?
Now I have two kids, and on the amazing days that I get them BOTH to nap (a day like today, when they both went down at exactly 2:30 p.m.) why must a telemarketer, my best friend, and my town's registrar all call between 2:32 and 2:56 p.m.? Why, I ask you?
Maybe I was evil in a previous life, I don't know.
*UPDATE: It's 3:36 p.m. - guess who just RANG THE DOORBELL? UPS! If my doorbell rings one more time it'd better be Publisher's Clearinghouse and they'd better bring me a $10MM check I SWEAR!
It's even worse when someone who knows your schedule (say your in-laws) wait to call/visit at that time. I always hate when the UPS driver rings the doorbell during nap time.

Actually it is because nature abhors a vacuum.
