naps...

So, I usually try to avoid naps. (Sad, right?) Whenever Ben says he's going to take one, I just hop on my computer and try to fill my time with pinterest, or I might get the motivation to do some laundry or dishes. He's such a busy guy, that I don't really mind when he takes a nap. It's also really nice because when he wakes up he's a great person to be around. A fed, well-rested husband?? What more do you need? :)

Anyway, every once and a while, I have a really LONG day at work, and When I get home I could use a hug that lasts about an hour. Today was a very busy/long day and so I needed some a hug or something of that nature. So, after dinner when Ben told me he was going to take a power-nap before he did his homework, I decided that I'd go lay down with him and just enjoy a little time, cuddling with my husband.

Right when we laid down (around 6:45p), I asked him, "how long are we going to rest/sleep?" and he responded, "Oh, maybe a half-hour. I just need to rest a little before I do my accounting homework." So, I was cool with that. I could definitely use a half-hour of peace and quiet. Who wouldn't want that??  :)

Lo and behold, I roll over and he's gone! I'm thinking, Where did he go! I laid down to be with him, not for him to peace out. So I get out of bed, and he's sitting there doing his homework and I turn and look at the clock...... 11 PM!!???!! Say WHAT??

I immediately think.. This is why I DO NOT take naps. They always last longer than they should and while they are always wonderful during, they do not bode well for a good  night's sleep later on... Mainly because your body thinks night already happened (while you were sleeping for the last 4-ish hours).

ANYWAY... that's my story of the day. during my nap was wonderful, but the waking up WAY later than I planned on was not. I think I'll keep my roll as the human alarm-clock (Ben usually gives me the job of waking him up after a certain amount of time).

Lucky for me, there are some awesome infomercials on right now on The Country Network. If I wasn't self-disciplined, we'd have two non-stick orgreenic pans, or these AWESOME Who Knew books. :) I've only been awake for an hour, so who knows how long I'll be hub this time... Hopefully not past 12a. I need to be at work by 8:45am tomorrow.
