In 20 minutes...

....when you are oh so tired, your eyes won't stay open, you need a nap so bad you almost don't care what your small children could do, or even what could happen in those wee minutes you slip into silent slumber. So tired that the only thing that matters is that your weighed down eyes and weepy pathetic self surrenders to the sleep that is overcoming you. In 20 minutes....you surrender, the bathroom faucet is running, lights on, kitchen chair is pushed to the counter, medicine bottles are out (thank you medicine companies for inventing child proof caps!), glue stick is out, cups of water are sitting on the living room floor, booster seat is up on the couch, toothbrushes out on the living room floor, lets not forget the toys, and the phones are off the hook. Nice job kids! Thanks for not killing Logan :)

  1. I can relate to this situation. Sometimes you just need a little nap, and it gives the kids the opportunity to do as they please, but sometimes us Moms just need a little nap.

  2. Haha, that is all too familiar! I think the man upstairs definitely knows how tired we are and keeps our kids safe in that 20 minutes!
