After I did my post about Sayer falling asleep in the stroller, I decided that maybe I should lay down for a little while since I had no other kids to take care of. I laid there for awhile at first wondering if this was ridiculous to be going back to bed. I found myself thinking, maybe I should just get up and do something productive. I imagined Nate mocking me and saying that "oh, it must be nice to just go to sleep in the middle of the day" or something like that. But then I thought, you know what? I am sick. I feel like crap, and when do I ever get to lay down in my bed for hours at a time during the day when I am sick?? Never! So for moms everywhere, who never get to take a break when they are sick and feeling like they want to die, I surrendered to my bed... for almost 3 hours! Little Sayer slept like a the worn out little boy he was, so when I woke up, he was still sleeping. I deciding to take my pampering one step further and take a bath. It was lovely. As I was finishing up, the little guy woke up. And true, my house is no cleaner than when Nate left for church, and I didn't do anything productive, but I feel pretty good about myself for taking care of myself. The end.

Hurray for you. It takes a lot of courage to do that -especially for you!
Good! Same thing at my house today! Justin came home to a silence. The boys and I were asleep. I feel like I really had a "day of rest."
Couldn't have said it better myself! That's what every mom needs sometimes! In all reality, nobody is going to ask you if your house was clean all the time in the eternities. I keep telling myself that. I'm glad you rested!
Good for you... you totally deserve it!
Thats awesome! I dont even know the last time I had a three hour nap.
