Just Get Me Through To Nap Time!

It's even worse when you know you will need the information, but you can't help it. There you sit in that day long training class, listening to facts you learned 3 years ago being "refreshed" for the new people who got stuck into the class with you. And you know what happens. Your eyes start drifting around of their own accord. You try to stretch it out but that just gets you more comfy. You try leaning on your hands, rubbing your eyes, yawning. Hiding more yawning. Then the worst. You think you are sailing along unnoticable when you feel yourself slightly off balance and JERK you are all bobbing around getting a sore neck. Then, the final horrible sensation of your hearing, cutting in and out, and you know you are a goner. I've never actually put my head down, but it was so bad today it would probably have made the teacher feel better than to have another bobbing head. I did look around the computer room to see one girl perfectly still with her eyes closed, another propped on her hand and out of it, and several fellows with droopy eyes trying to squirm themselves awake. So at least I didn't stand out. But I woke up plenty when that 4:30 hit and I was breaking for the door. As soon as I got in the house I began shutting down for that wonderful, glorious joyful time, the Afternoon Nap. Ahhhhh!
Naps--they used to be a punishment. A way for parents to burn up our daylight and keep us out of the way for an hour. But somewhere in there it started to kind of feel pretty good. Now, that's one of my favorite things in the whole world. Partly because I love curling up in my Amy-shaped spot in my bed. And mainly because I am sleeping while all those other working slobs are still on the clock! Oh rapture!
That's a poor attitude. But anyhow, I got the laundry going and picked up all the clothes and got them sorted into the laundry basket for later. I only get home about a half hour before Kev but I was already in my jammie jams and just waiting for him to get home so I could say Hi and ask him if he would wake me up in an hour and a half. I slept so deeply that when I woke up I had puffy eyes and rumpled hair and a big grin on my face. Personality fix 101--take a nap. And no more staying up until 12:30! Hmm. Look at the time.
