Curse the Nap Lords!
I so wanted a nap today. A lazy, late afternoon nap next to the kiddo and husband who had returned from a trip over the weekend. And because I was tired. Bone tired. It's Monday and I hadn't slept well in the husbands absence with a sick kid. I wasn't blessed enough by the Nap Lords.
At 4:30pm when they both were fast into nap land (albeit, very late for a nap, but who was I to complain when I desperately wanted one. Even if it was 5ish) I longed to feel the kicking feet of a toddler in my ribs. But, Ah, no. The lovely part of working from home. You watch others do the at-home thing, while you do the at-work thing.
At 5:30 ? Well they were still asleep... and I was still working.
And when I closed shop near 6, I snuck into the bedroom, blanket cuddled around my shoulders hoping to get only 6 minutes of shut-eye and I was greeted with, "Hi Mom!" Uncontrollable giggles, "How come you didn't snuggle?"
