Ode to Nap Time
Farewell nap time, though I hardly knew ye.
A few great years…. how could you leave me?
That hour or two of peace was great.
Finally… a chance to exercise and lose weight.
Then, like a cruel joke,
My dreams of rest went up in smoke.
Afternoons once spent doing chores
Are now spent stumbling over toys on the floor.
It’s a small price to pay
To have my daughters in a good mood all day.
For if you return
(Oh, some days how I wish you’d return)
I know they would be awake late into the night…
And I would spend all the next day breaking up fights.

Love it! Fortunately, we still take naps in our home. I have noticed that they seem to be decreasing in length and consistency. They cannot be done yet, though, I still have so much I wish to get accomplished during those quiet and kid-free hours!
