    Wink I need a nap!

    Why is it that as children we fight having to take naps and as adults we really need them but are unable to take them due to our busy lives? Sometimes I think it would be nice to have a little one around again so that I could use that as an excuse to just take an hour or 2 a day to rest while they did. I used to cherish that time when my boys were little.

    I really really want a nap today! But alas...I'm off again to go and teach at co-op.

    Naps feel so good, but I don't sleep at night if I let myself nap.

    I think that every country that has siesta time is so wise. An hour nap right after lunch rejuvenates us and makes us all in a better frame of mind.

    Debbie - time to say "I'm having a siesta - no one bother me for one hour."

    sleep, what is that? I haven't slept much the past 3 nights & I tried taking a nap because I'm so burned out, exhausted & just want to rest & I can't even take a nap I would be so happy if I could just one night. I have a 2 day assembly to go to this weekend & I need to be awake & alert, not exhausted & burned out .

    My dh is one that needs a short nap right after lunch everyday. He gets up before the chickens, so that gets him through the remainder of his day.

    We take quiet time every day -- and my kids are 8 and 10!

    The kids read or play quietly. I nap.

    I think I will make time for a nap tomorrow. Fridays are the only days that I am home all day (other than weekends where we stay home) and can get a nap in.

    Did someone say nap...lol I was off today and had all these great ideas for stuff to do, but I got home from eating lunch at Joe's turned on the soaps I haven't seen in months and woke up in time to see the last 45 minutes of CHARMED. Oh well, I guess I'll be well rested for work tomorrow and Saturday now
