I just had a 3 hour preschool party this morning, and have the afternoon with just me and my son as my daughter was being taken home with her classmate/friend for a play date after her school was done.

An hour ago, I just couldn't keep my eyes open so I settled my son on the computer to play games and told him that I had to lay down and not to wake me. He walks me over to the couch, sits back at the computer and 2 seconds later asks for help.

I laid back down on the couch and was awakened to Jayden telling me that he's going outside and that I can go back on the computer. Of course, I woke up quickly as I don't want him going outside by himself but turns out the kids next door are home.

Seems I got 15 minutes of nap time. LOL Right about now I need a few hours.

It's just been crazy around here lately and I am exhausted. Can't quite sleep in the next few days as my son is in the city parade tomorrow a.m. and then there is a summer fair on Sunday at his preschool. Of course, it doesn't end there but finally things will wind down after Tuesday of next week.

I am exhausted!

Hon, you don't know my son! Loves to cuddle but if he took a nap he'd be up until midnight instead of the usual 9:45-10:30 time he falls asleep for the night. This boy is a nightowl. LOL

Poor Dan has been working until 10 every night and I had to break it to him that he has to get up early today so we can take Jayden to the parade and then a fair on Sunday. Poor guy too!

However, he just can't miss these things. Especially when he doesn't come to many school events as it is due to the businesses.

I know how you feel hun. My 2 1/2yr old never naps now. And he's too young to tell him I'm going to law down on the sofa. Occassionally I've fallen asleep on the sofa and hes been fien himself, but I really don't like to.

I know exactly how you feel. I am exhausted aswell, my 3 year old is always on the go and no longer needs a nap in the day and is always up nice and early. I'm struggling with one child and being pregnant, never mind two children!!

Just wait until we're up all night with the baby and then have to stay away all day with the toddler. It was alright when I had Mikey, I took the advice "Sleep when they sleep" Very seriously, isn't going to happen this time!

No I don't like to do it either but I just couldn't keep my eyes open. It was hot and muggy outside yesterday too and it tired me out even more than I was already. At least he wakes me up to tell me something important, like going outside. That's not the issue at all. I am happy with 15 minutes naptime just to ensure my child is safe.

After the parade I will be a couch potato for the rest of the day or try to.
