Nap Time

I was just talking to my Dad while running a few errands. He asked me how I was and what I was up to, that sort of thing. I call my parents alot while driving and also at night about 10pm. My mom said every time the phone rings about 10pm my Dad says "Krissy's up". Obviously I have been up all day, but about 10pm is when the kids are all in bed, the house is quiet and i can actually get things done. Phone calls ( I have a few friends that know it is safe to call each other this late), laundry folded, floors mopped. I can get more done in that 2 hours than if I tried to do it through the day. However then I usuallly spend about 2 hours after that with Mitch watching tv or movies. So I am tired in the morning. Over the summer if I wanted a nap I could easily fit one in. But not anymore. We are in busy mode. When the alarm went off this morning I laid there for a while plotting, figuring, thinking of how I could fit a nap in today because the promise of a nap was all that was going to get me out of bed. I allowed myself to be fooled by the illusuion of it fitting it somwhere and up I went. It is now 3:34pm. Reality has set in. No nap today. I am brewing a new pot of coffee and then I should be good again. At least for a few hours.
