A Nap for Momma!

I've never been much of a napper. Don't get me wrong, I do LOVE to sleep, especially the luxury of sleeping in the middle of the day when there are a zillion things that I should be doing instead.... or there are too many wild kids running around, and it wouldn't exactly be safe to see what they might do if momma was dreaming in the other room!!

No, it doesn't happen very often at all. In fact, I truly don't remember the last time I took a real nap. I guess it's because there is always something on my mind, something else that I can't stop thinking about that I should be doing... it's hard to just shut my brain off and allow myself to just fall asleep.

But I did it this afternoon!

I put Josiah down around 11:15am, and tried to get on the computer, but I was SO sleepy.... so I shut the computer off and tried to just look at a magazine and rest in my bed, but sleep was calling my name... So around noon, when I heard Josiah finally quiet down and give it up - I, too, gave up and drifted off....

Slept for TWO HOURS!

Yeah, baby.

I guess I needed it!!

It COULD be this HUGE baby inside of me that is taking every single ounce of energy that I once called my own! Only about 6-8 more weeks left! And we will be holding a TINY treasure!

sigh... (in a GOOD way!)

Thanks, mom, for coming over and doing dishes and stuff this morning... Now my mountain of work that I let pile up for the sake of my lazy afternoon dreamland is not so overwhelming!!

I was hoping you would rest. That was the intention to free you up to take care of yourself. Love you Nae.
