JC went down for a nap at noon. LB and I went upstairs to the den to watch some TV. Then, the stars aligned and the heavens blessed me with some quiet because I, very shortly after, fell asleep.
I took a friggin nap! I must have slept from a little after 12pm to 2pm. Every once in awhile, I would wake up just a tiny bit (from holding my breath... wtf is that all about??), and LB was still alive, still watching TV, JC was still asleep, and the house hadn't gone up in flames.
It was the best two hours of my entire day. The boys have been getting on my last frayed nerve lately- Hubby came home with some chocolate for me last night. Just typical kid stuff, I think, but it's driving me bonkers.
Sidenote: Did anyone play a board game in the 80s called Bonkers? I don't remember how to play, but I remember thinking it was the bestest game ever.
Anyway, I feel a million times better. Less cranky. I even baked some cookies for the boys, which they are housing right now. Probably because I ran out of flour, so they are mostly butter and sugar, ha. Hopefully this refreshed feeling will last until bedtime, because I like enjoying my kids and not constantly yelling at them. :)

I also enjoyed an almost 2 hour nap today as well! My back is killing me and I let E take a nap in bed with me and we snoozed away, it was great! It has been forever since I have been able to take a nap, very refreshing :) And I know how you feel with the kids, my three have been on my last nerve this past week!
Nap?! Did you say nap? The epitome of luxury...that delicious feeling of being in and out of sleep on the couch, in the sun, covered in a blanket...ahhhhhh...have I been able to indulge? Not lately since Owen, age 3 and non-stop motion, stopped napping ages ago...hopefully, you'll get another soon!
