normally, i don't really take naps - i usually end up waking up feeling no more rested but groggy to boot. but this morning, playing with caleb, i realized i kept laying my head down, closing my eyes, and then suddenly realizing i was on the verge of being out. so, i went ahead and tried for a nap during his first nap. this is about how well that worked out:
8:58 - caleb is asleep.
9:12 - i finally find a comfy position, and start to relax.
9:14 - neighbor kid ( i say kid, but really, he's an early twenty-something who prefers to live at home to focus on his rock band) starts up right outside my bedroom window with his smoker's-cough. i am annoyed, because i was starting to fall asleep, but also sad, because he sounds like he's been smoking for decades.
9:21 - neighbor kid is settling down, but down the street someone has suddenly been struck with the urge to hammer.
9:29 - neighbor kid and the hammerer are both quiet, but stupid brain won't shut up, insists on going over mental pattern for next sewing project (which reminded me, R, we still need to have that sewing date!)
9:40ish - i actually fall asleep.
9:58 - caleb has pooped and is happily slamming his heels on the bars of his crib, a clear indicator of his nap being O-V-E-R.
which of course means, so is mine.

Ugggghhh I had a similar experince with a FOUR year old this afternoon....tried to nap with him on the guest bed. He didn't poop but he had some swinging legs. I started to fall asleep but not for more than four minutes.
SO when are we SEW-ing? Because guess what I was thinking about this evening????
