Treasured Time

and that Treasured Time I speak of is nap time.  Yes, every moment with my daughter is wonderful and amazing, but sometimes you just need a little break a little ME time.  Even that little 20 minute napper to re-group, shower, clean up, basically to feel like a human again.  Today I am lucky, this is nap number 2.  The first nap was a nice long one about 2 hours and right over lunch.  Those are the best ones, because then I can actually sit down and enjoy my food without having to rush or eat sitting on the floor with her.  Today we got a lot accomplished.  I was able to clean her room and hang up some decorations all while she quietly entertained herself without having to be held or in my lap.  Now the needy one is our dog Koko.  As I sit here typing away trying to enjoy my quiet moment, she is jumping at my chair and yipping away trying to get as much attention as possible, then she runs to the food bowl and proceeds to bark at that (even though they have been fed once already)  Arg, I guess it never really ends.  As the time approaches 4pm I am looking forward to my husband getting home to have some adult conversation and to watch as Lexi lights up when he walks in the room.  It's amazing how much she loves seeing her daddy, but still will only sit in my lap.  It is getting better, she spends a little more time with him when I am around, which I am happy for.  I can't wait for the day where I can leave the room and she won't scream.
