Cleanse the Palatte

Yesterday was not a good day. It wasn't a terrible, rotten day either, but it definitely did not go into the good/okay day category. Zack is determined to only take 1 nap a day, which is fine by me, so long as that nap does not start at 10 am and finish at 11:30 am. Let's just say 11:30 until 7 pm is a long time with a tired 1-year-old. I was feeling a bit stressed, anxious & overwhelmed...one of those times where you feel like maybe you took on too much & now what??? So after ranting to Scot about it (who was a very good listener by the way) I felt better & headed upstairs at 9 pm plugged my head phones into my computer & got to work. I even passed on watching the Suns game. Needless to say, I am feeling better today. I met some friends at Chandler Mall for a quick chat, play & lunch & had Zack home & in his crib by noon...it is bound to be a better day than yesterday!

Now I am at my computer getting ready to plug in those head phones again & get back to work. The window behind me is open & the cool air is rustling papers & for some reason I find that motivating & refreshing! Let's just hope it translates into the designs I need to get done!

So, Dylan went to the 1 nap per day gig a couple months ago and he too likes to go down at 10ish and up at 1ish. Makes for a VERY long day when he doesn't go to bed until 8:30pm. I have tried to push back the nap, but he is determined to take that morning nap. It is his thing!! So, I feel your pain. I think once Zach gets used to just the one nap, he will be better. Dylan is getting better and sometimes will lay down in the afternoon, but he usually does pretty good. Have a better day!
