>*Lick, lick* *Smack, smack* *Lick, smack*
One eye cautiously opens. Two big blue eyes and a very wet nose. Eye closes quickly.
*Lick, lick* *Smack, smack* *lick, smack*
I peek through my eyelashes. Same blue eyes, same wet nose, only now wet nose is focused on blue eyes and a pink tongue takes laps around blue eyes’ face. *Smack* I feel my blankets lift, and little cold legs slide in beside me. I feel little lips touch my cheek, and an arm reach around my neck. My arm betrays my body and snakes around a little belly. My fingers gently caress a little back, while my mind hopes that it will be enough for just 10 more minutes of pretending to sleep. Just 10 more minutes of being wrapped and comfy in blankets, curled up with the snuggliness that is a 2 year old freshly awakened from his nap, who thumps my back as hard as he can, while my wet nosed puppy tries to wiggle his way between us, his crazy long curled tail whacking at my belly like a whip.
I slowly open my eyes, just in time to see little miss drama queen dive onto my bed. A quick squint at the clock. 45 minutes. Loud audible sigh reaches from my toes and out through my lips. Another squint around the room reveals a not-so-jolly, not-so-elfish husband lost in his PS3. Blue eyes and drama queen jumping on the bed. Husband playing video game. Mom with headache sleeping fuming. Very tired sleeping mom with headache dreaming of ways to maim kill hurt husband playing video game.
Husband moves. Turns. Sees. “What?” he asks.
The Scoop on Poop 
>My mountain man would tell you that it's the opposite here. I can sleep for hours amidst chaos, but he can't get a minute's rest away from the kids.
>I think Mommy naps are an endangered species. or maybe even extinct by now.Thanks for coming over to KludgyMom yesterday 🙂
>Mommy naps are not to be interrupted. How else are we supposed to recharge our little batteries??
>there would be some hell to pay after this!
>Mama naps are only possible when kiddos also nap. There is no way I can sleep if hubs is on kid duty. It's noisy and all I can think about is the chaos that I will walk out to.
>Husbands don't need video games to be distracted from keep the kids away for a few minutes of rest. 😛
>It's decided… husband will have to give up video games before we have kids.
>Sigh. Husbands are just another child aren't they? Gurl…if you ever find your nap, lemme know…I'm trying to find mine. Maybe its in the same place :o)
>Oh, how I wish that I knew where it was. I'd get one for me, too.
>This is how Mommy temper tantrums and burned dinners happen.
