My Ode to Naps

  Most of you know that I have a strong, deep love for naps.  I have been an excellent napper for as long as I can remember.  That is until about 10 months ago, when miss Ellie joined our lives.  Actually, the day we brought her home was the last time I can remember being able to take a nice, long, comfortable nap. 

We were both exhausted from our long stay and we both needed a nap.  So that's just what we did.  Those were the days when she slept more than she was awake.  Up until that day, I was an incredible napper.  I could sleep anywhere, anytime, through anything.  My napping ability, is just one of the many things that has changed since I became a mom.  Until today! Today, I napped! Today's nap took me back to my glory days of napping.  Maybe it was the rain, maybe it was the margarita I treated myself to at lunch.  Whatever it was, it worked.  I fell asleep within seconds of my head hitting the pillow and stayed there for 2 whole hours.  You read it right, I got to nap for two glorious, uninterrupted hours!!! You may think this is silly, but to me, this is most definitely a day worth mentioning and remembering. 

  (Special thanks goes out to Matt.  Without you, this nap could have never happened.  Love you)
