Until I became a parent, I never really needed a nap to get through the day. Oh, there would be days when I would come home from school and nap for forty-five minutes or so before leaving for work, but that was after going to school all day and having only four or five hours of sleep, and I still had an entire seven or eight hour work shift to get through. Now, I don’t know what my excuse is, except that parenthood takes a lot out of you. Especially when in addition to parenting your two kids you are parenting two other kids, and trying to work various appointments and errands around work schedules and school schedules. It can be exhausting.
And to think, it’s only the first week of November! With Thanksgiving and then the craziness until Christmas, I’m soon going to need a nap every single day, no matter how much sleep I got the night before.
