I love naps. LOVE them! Because I love sleep. But when a good nap makes me toss and turn and get up out of bed after laying there listening to my husband snore for over an hour and a half, well, I stop loving them quite as much.
After eating too much at my birthday dinner last night, I stayed up way past my bedtime, high on chocolate souffle. This morning, the lack of sleep resulted in a snippy mom and an annoying wife, so after church, I laid down for two hours a few minutes to recharge. I slept so soundly that my arm was numb and tingly when I woke up...I feel asleep on my right side and didn't move a muscle.
And here it is, 12:12am AGAIN...and I can't sleep.
In my boredom, however, I came across this blog post that had me trying so hard not to laugh out loud that I was snorting to keep from waking up the whole house. Yes, I'm overtired and a bit giddy, but it's seriously funny stuff. Check it out.

I agree with you. I cannot sleep during the day, I am wide awake until the middle of the night. It isn't worth it to me, no matter how tired I am!

I just read that post that you linked too. I don't think I have laughed THAT hard in a LOooooonnnnggg time!
I am still crying, it was so funny!
i can not sleep at ight lately, so the only way i seem to make it throug the day is to sleep when the baby naps but only for half an hour.
Your post is exactly why I'm up at 12:25 a.m. Well, not your post, but what you wrote about. Anyway, that post you linked was stinkin' hilarious! I have things like that I need to dig up. Okay, I'm going to bed now!
We have SO much in common! I totally understand the need to nap (it's my sunday afternoon ritual as well) but often I too regret it late into the evening when I can't sleep. Then, of course, the cycle starts again the next day because I'm tired from having a late night.... and around I go again!
Last night though I was really tired (my youngest was up the previous night vomiting and generally keeping me awake with cleaning up vomit and changing quilts/sheets/Pj's, etc) and so even though I was so tired, I had just started reading a new novel that I'm enjoying and played the game of "just one more chapter... oh, I'll just read one more..." till way past my regular bedtime.

I soooo needed a good laugh! Thank you for sharing that link. I laughed so hard I cried and the rest of my clan is sleeping right now and I couldn't stifle my laughter! Luckily, no one woke up!
