The triplets have been in school for the past 2 days.
Yesterday Aaron was home from work and took the baby with him to the store which means I was……get this……HOME ALONE.
The dog and I stared at one another for 2 hours, scratching our heads, and asking “what do we do now?”
Then I took a nap. Because I love to nap. I really do. It ranks right up there with a really excellent sneeze.
In fact, if you don’t like to nap, we can’t be friends. It’s high time I get rid of all the people in my life that are holding me back. If you can’t support my napping, then this is the beginning of the end. Sorry. Come back when you have been reformed.
I even went so far as to tell Aaron that I plan on napping every single solitary day for the rest of my entire life. Ambitious, I know.
Then today I spent 2 hours on the phone with the Pharmaceutical Insurance Company begging for my stomach meds. They kept telling me to call the doc and have the doc fax over the prescription. The doc kept telling me to call the insurance company to have them fax over a form. This went on until my innards burst from excessive acidic stomach juices. Which basically solves the whole problem. No innards. No need for stomach meds.
Then I spent the remaining 4 hours looking for my pocket calendar gone missing so that I could pay my bills. It has all my top-secret classified confidential username and passwords to all my Swedish accounts. I’m kidding. I don’t have any Swedish accounts. But my calendar with my list of bills to pay was where I obviously put it for safe keeping—in the bathroom. I always keep my important documents in the powder, lotion, hair de-frizz and extra chapstick basket on the next to the top shelf.
If I wasn’t so lost with this new schedule, I would have remebered this.
I then napped. Because this new life is confusing, and perplexing, and startling, and bizarre, and mysterious, and unbelievable.
It’s all quite exhausting.
And then there’s the wine. You know, because it goes with cheekers.
But the wine makes it so I want to take another nap.
Do you see the vicious cycle I find myself twirling around in?
Tomorrow, if I can find the energy, I will tell you the “poop at the bus stop” story.
Clearly, you won’t want to miss that.

I wish I could get a nap every day for the rest of my life. God knows I can manage to get 6 hours straight of sleep at night.
With all that napping you better find the energy to share that story.
I know I am probably late, but Love the Look

I was never a napper until 2 years ago when I finally convinced my body that it was a nap and not a 8 hour sleep so now I don’t feel drugged and beat up when I wake up from a 1/2 hour nap? Weird, TMI? I still only get naps on weekends but they feel like mini vacations! ENJOY!

Naps are good. I still don’t understand why the corporate world doesn’t incorporate them into the work day.
Vote for Danica!! I’ll get you naps!!

First of all, yes, obviously we want to hear the poo story.
And second? I’m in love with the visual of your dog scratching his head.

I am an absolute lover of naps. I can lay down and sleep for two hours and wake up feeling like a new person. My husband can do the same in 20 minutes but that’s not long enough for me…two hours is perfect! Must be left over from childhood when we were all expected to nap that long. I, unfortunately, always feel sleepy and nap ready about 15 minutes before I need to pick the kids up from school…crappy timing.
I hope you enjoy lots of naps over the coming school year!

OOOOOHhhhhhh…..naps! ::sigh:: I love naps! I try and nap for at least 45 minutes every afternoon. I’m sleepy just thinking about a nap!

Oh, so thats how one of the triplets ended up missing the bus!?
As for naps…we truly are sisters from another Mister because I would happily nap every day of my live long life!

I love naps. I mean if I could have married a nap…I would have! Now I find myself wanting a nap on the opposite schedule of my DS. It makes for a long and tiring day.
