Nap

A nap is a refresher. A nap is sometimes what we need to revive ourselves. For some odd reason I do not take advantage of the few times I have the chance to nap. I feel as if they are a tease, especially when I am forced to awaken from them. What really bothers me, is that it is easier to close my eyes and dose off into a dream world when I nap but when it's time to sleep my eyes are wide open like that of an owl. I am not a nocturnal creature. I do end up falling asleep at night, even if it takes the restless mind hours to shut down. Shut down, that's what I want to do right now. Hopefully I can have an early night. An early night leads to an early morning. An early morning leads to a useful day. A useful day leads to a tired me. A tired me leads me back to where I am now. Sleep deprived. I guess this is why they tell you to get as much rest before the baby comes.

Some mothers are lucky because their babies have a sleeping schedule. I do not know what I did wrong. I think he gets it from me. Not napping because of fear that you might miss something. A funny moment, a phone call, a knock on the door, or a solar eclipse.

When an hour passes and nothing has happened you regret not taking that nap. Now, both my son and I, are grumpy and restless. We should probably take a nap.
