O.K. all you stay at home parents out there.....raise your hand if you live for nap time. Don't be hesitant....I know you all want to raise those hands, hell I'm waving mine in the air right now!!
YES!! Just like most of you when my 11 year old packed up his book bag and headed back to school, I had a marvelous delusion about finally having a little free time when my two year old took his nap. YEAH RIGHT!!!!!! On the days that I can get my little one to go down for his nap.......well our morning usually consisted of me chasing him from room to room around our house...picking up all the stuff he decided to drag out and practice his throwing with. When I'm not picking up stuff....I'm trying to rescue the cat from his chubby little fingers that love to give him (the cat) hugs (usually by wrapping his arm securely around the poor kitty's neck).....hence the "rescue". And that is the days when we DO have a nap - lol.........and we really don't need to go into the days when we DON'T have a nap - do we?????
So all that wonderful time that I invisioned myself with during naps??? Well it's gone to that final resting place deep in fantasy land. My bubble has been burst by the sharp pin of reality.
I know...you're asking yourself....well what does Nap Time Mommy actually do when her little angel is snug as a bug in his bed during naps??? I spend nap time finally getting to do all the things I didn't get to during the morning - you know - laundry, dishes.....blah blah blah. Do we really need to go there??
Having said all that - guess what time it is? You guessed it NAP TIME.........so with that...this mommy is off to TRY - and try being the optimal word here - to get my little funny face down for his nap. Maybe today he'll sleep longer than 30 mins - lol.
