Napping

I wish I could nap. My body wants to just go close the curtains in my bedroom, and snuggle up with my still one year old boy to just get another hour or two of rest. I know I can't though. I'll either lay there feeling sleep JUST out of reach until I give up to grab a book or I'll actually fall asleep. But if actually happens my family would do well to leave me the rest of the day. There is something about napping that leaves me cranky and short tempered the rest of the day. I don't find it fair to them, or me!!

There is the possibility of a short cat nap on the couch. Not sure why those seem to work better? Something about being in the upright position instead of laying down? Or the short 5-15 minutes instead of 30-190?

Instead I will try to contain my crankiness as best I can. It is not my families fault that I am a horrible sleeper without my husband there in bed with me. I've had a small cup of sweet tea, and am sure to find my to more caffeine soon...
