Oh, how I Love Nap Time

So, it's nap time here at the Pestka house.  Ahhhhh.  And as a bonus, Mother Nature has sent us a constant drizzling rain, so the house is quiet, with three kiddos in their beds (Sabina at school), and I am listening only to the sound of rain hitting the roof.  I can think of no better time in a mother's day than nap time - a time to recharge your batteries and let go of all the frustrations from the morning.  I used to nap with the kids (especially while pregnant or just after the babies come home), but now I am getting enough sleep at night to stay awake at nap time and work on my own projects.  So nice.  However, what usually happens is that I think of all the things I plan to do once the kids get up (like bake bread, go for a walk, or get the paints out), which never seem to come to fruition.  Inevitably, the baby is cranky or it's raining/cold out...  You name it, something always seems to come up to keep me from completing anything in the afternoons.  After 3:00, it is basically a countdown until bedtime.  Ahhhh....bedtime. :-)
