nap. or not.

Things which just woke me from the nap I was attempting to take, at my husband's suggestion (not because I was cranky, just because he was being nice):

• The cordless phone being dropped. Four times, each just... as... I... was... dropping... off. By my son, who wasn't using it, just fiddling with it.
• My daughter bringing me kitties.
• Said daughter running in and out through the screen door five hundred gazillion times.
• My husband yelling at our daughter to tell her not to go in and out through the screen door so much, she'd wake Mommy.
• Daughter needing her bottom wiped, with Daddy nowhere to be found.
• My son walking into my room to ask me, without preamble, where his father was. (answer: apparently, he was outside about to crank up the lawn mower. And my window was open.)

I took the lawnmower as a sign from God to give up. I tossed on some clothes and walked outside, to have T ask me, amazed, why I wasn't lying down.
