I have had a light bulb go off today! A nap really is my best friend. Everyday my son loves to give me a hard time to take a nap. He kicks, screams, yells and tries to run out of his room. I really thought today i was going to loose my mind. Although being a mother is the most amazing thing in the world no matter if you work or don't it can be a very physically and mentally exhausting , but when your a stay at home mother you are with your child or children 24/7 with very little adult contact. (the wind is howling loud as I'm writing, LOL) Some days are pleasant and some days i would like nothing more then to just curl up in a ball in the back of my closet and scream! Fortunately when moments get like this a NAP is the best solution. I had to lay down with my son and as he wiggled trying to get away he got more and more tired and within 15min. he was sleeping. I was doing cart wheels in my head of course. I slowly crept out of the room and looked upon him from the door and i thought to myself he is so peaceful and cute when he sleeps. I was so thankful he fell asleep and i got sometime to kick up my feet and have a cocktail. (Even if your not a drinker like me, being a mother will defiantly make you need a drink!)

Cheers Ladies!

When I notice my daughter is getting a little sleepy, I give her a little snack & some milk. Then about 10-15 mins later it's so much easier to get her to lay down & not throw a tantrum. And for the cocktail...I definitely agree arianna!!!
Thanks for the tip i will be trying it tomorrow!
