Today I am thankful for nap-time. Although not a person, nap-time is a very important thing in my life these days.
Ever since I had Sybil, I've been very protective over the hours I have while she's sleeping. It is the only time I get to do what I need to do without interruptions. I have even resorted to trying to shower and clean BEFORE nap happens, so that I don't have to "use up" my time doing those things when nap-time starts. I sometimes will even ignore phone calls (sorry, people) during nap-time so that I get the full two hours to myself. I'm kind of crazy about this.
During these two hours, I get to start my day over. Sometimes, I even take a nap myself. But most of the time I use nap-time to spend with the Lord and search my heart...and maybe spend time with my husband (if he's home) or someone else (if Andrew stays home while Syb sleeps). I truly miss the days where my "free time" wasn't limited to two hours a day. But, this is what I have and I am SO thankful for it. At least my kid is still taking naps! Two hours is better than no hours.
So, moms, let's raise our glasses to nap-time and what it means to us!
I am so thankful for the gift of sleep--for my child, and even myself! Now, I'm off to take a nap :)
