Naps for Mommy?

Have you ever spent 30 minutes trying to take a 15 minute nap, and if you're lucky you might actually sleep for 5 minutes? Even when you try to think of everything in preparation of that coveted nap, you can count on something unexpected arising. You wait until the baby is down for a nap, make sure everyone has gone potty, selectively choose a highly entertaining T.V. show sure to keep children of all ages and genders spell bound for at least 15 minutes, give them snacks and drinks, and even turn off the phone. Then despite all of your efforts there's "Mommy, when are you going to wake up?" and "Mommy, she's touching my blankie!" and then the wiggly 3 year old starts climbing all over you. After sufficient yelling and threats, you FINALLY fall asleep! It feels so nice for that moment . . . only to be awaken by the neighbor friend seeking a playmate pounding down the door and repeatedly ringing the doorbell. You're desperate to answer it so the sleeping baby won't be awoken! And you know that the pounding and ringing won't stop until you DO answer it! The children are shouting in the background, "Yeah! Mommy's awake! Finally! Mommy, you were asleep a LONG TIME!!!" Oh well, better luck next time!
