To nap or not to nap

All I wanted to do was take a nap.

I'm not usually one for napping. I find it hard to close my eyes and relax in the middle of the day, especially on a sunny, warm day like today. I'd rather to go bed at 8 and sleep a minimum of 8 uninterrupted hours.

Consequently, I'm tired enough today to close my eyes and go to sleep right in the middle of the day.

Of course, that wasn't to be.

My new nickname is: "mother-of-toddler-who-had-whinefest-all-morning-and-owner-of-stupid-dog-who-barks-at-every-little-noise-that-normally-doesn't-bother-him".

Blah.
